My quick and non-sophisticated map/forecast for the event.

So, been on midnight shifts the past week and felt a disturbance in the force. Looks like some snow eh?

Heavy Leaf Warning for areas east of the Chesapeake Bay Leaf rates of 250-300/hr Total Accumulation: 1000-2000 leaves plus 2 Aleve

Early Guess. Will update later in the month BWI: 14.2" DCA: 10.4" IAD: 16.3" RIC: 5.5" Tiebreaker (SBY): 10.8"

Also, Key Lime pie from Sparky’s in Marathon, FL might be one of the five best things I’ve ever eaten. Everytime we go back, it’s like I slipped into heaven, so they had to take me back in a wheel chair and somehow pie is served. St. Peter is a nice dude

I can agree with this. I would do unspeakable things for a really good German Chocolate Cake. I think you found a flaw in my statement

Carrot Cake > Chocolate Cake All interviews and threats can be made in my PM's I will not be taking questions at this time

I’m heading to bed, but the last thing I want to mention is the longevity at which hurricane force winds will be felt from this storm from the coast to the central portion of the state. Damage from prolonged winds of that magnitude tend to be worse than a typical hit and run. The vegetation in that area of FL will be altered for years to come, and salt water inundation will cripple tree root systems to the point where they’ll have to be rehabbed back to life. This happened in the Lower FL Keys with Irma. It’ll be the same for the coastal locales running from Bonita Springs up to Englewood. Brutal

Went from EWRC to going gang busters without a hitch. Def not always the case historically. Going to be a beast of burden up until landfall. Thankfully my parents got the heck out of dodge (Up near Sarasota).

This storm is as healthy as its ever been in its life cycle. Good lord

No doubt about that. Their house is built to withstand Cat 5, so not concerned about that part. But what the wind blows into it is a whole other story. Flooding will def be terrible

Excellent write-up @Terpeast I'll be following along this winter on this cause-effect regime possibility

Posted this in the Mid Atlantic Thread: They moved in back in early May after getting it built near Lakewood Ranch. Tough intro to living down their permanently. Hopefully everything is okay when they get back. I've been working midnight shifts and keeping tabs on the storm. I was staying in touch with @WxWatcher007during his excursion to Nova Scotia earlier in my string of shifts. Glad everything went well there. Now for round two with Ian. Can someone turn off the Tropics please.....

Well, it finally happened. My parents moved into their new home near Sarasota (15 miles inland) and will be evacuating tomorrow to Ft Lauderdale. Looks like they will take a hit head on for their area. Their house is a fortress, so not too concerned about its integrity, but it'll certainly be an unwelcomed present.

Hello gang! Long time no talk. Hopefully everyone is doing well back east. I am currently staying as cool as I can in the eternal oven that is Texas. I wanted to drop in and say hello, and let y'all know I have some applications submitted to jobs back closer to home (All east of the Mississippi at least). Fingers crossed I'm back closer to where I want to be! Have a great rest of the summer and let's get to fall!

Man, I am just now checking in on this event for back home. I'm glad everyone is safe, but losing power in the summer sucks and all the tree damage is depressing. I was on the road traveling back to TX from Nashville this weekend, so I had no clue until my friend at home texted me. Saw the radar images and they are pretty astounding for back east. Definitely one to remember.

Yuppppppp. All of the above

You are going to ruin @mappy day in under 1 hour today. Might be a new record. Yikes

DONT...........

That was the most annoying news to wake up to on mids. Seriously

Haven't had time to really look at things up until recently due to a multitude of reasons. Taking a peek at things, here's my one and only call for the storm. Hopefully you guys get a nice pasting tomorrow. I'll check in later in the day after I'm done sleeping. Currently on mid shifts. Enjoy the snow y'all Snowfall Forecast 1-3" for the metros 2-4" for the nearby burbs 4-6" for northern MoCo/Western HoCo up through Carroll County into the Hereford Zone of Balt Co (Areas below 700') 2-5" for rest of HoCo up through southern half of Balt Co 5-8" for areas over 700' along Parrs Ridge including Damascus/Mt Airy/Manchester. 4-7" for all of Frederick/Washington Counties 4-6" for Loudoun Co 2-4" for Fairfax Co 2-4" Northern Harford Co 1-3" Southern Harford Co 3-6" for Winchester up through the WV Panhandle. Iso to 7" on higher ridges

Probably a bit underdone I would think. Height falls are solid and the thicknesses are ~510dm, which is a good airmass for at least teens in the AM and low 30s for the PM. This time of year you have a bit more variance in temps due to increased sun angle, but it shouldn't make too significant of a difference in the grand scheme. MEX for FDK is 21 on Sunday AM, so I think a few degrees cooler into the teens would be suitable. Highs around 35-38 for Central MD. Considering the flow veering to the E/SE, that could happen. Progressive pattern

That cold shot this weekend for you guys is going to be no joke. One of the better airmasses of the season for the OH and TN Valley areas. Considering the time of year, it's definitely pretty robust

These storms will scream meh on radar for severe purposes, but the winds could def materialize here. Enjoy the token Slight in March!
