    Whenever you all come up in conversations, everyone still has the local love for what you do. Think you guys have done a good job of getting the word out so far and hope you all get a comfortable amount of paying subscribers soon, if you don’t already have enough. A truly good, local daily forecast is worth the fee for those who want to support.

    Excited to support you all going forward, even as just a matter of principle. Will be nice to read the articles again after being unwilling to throw the money down for the WaPo paywall. Best of luck! Will be making sure those around me know how to find the gang.

    LWX seems to think it has a shot. Wouldn’t mind if it canceled the Nats game I’m “trying” to go to tonight.

    Losing the SREF is even more devastating! Need to host a Viking funeral.

    This is true - but I also just hate the wind. An occasional light breeze to fight a sweltering summer day... cool, I guess. 10-15mph all day as I try to bike to work... annoying.

    People swear it's not windy here. It's always windy.

    Devastating. We'll never get NAM'd again.

    Yeah, I was obviously wrong. Earlier scans made it clearer. Thought there was a shot it was just sidelobe contamination but very clearly was a tornado on the ground from those damage reports.

    Rooting for some interesting weather somewhere in this area. Been such a bore lately.
  10. NorthArlington101
    Concur with that! All good.

    I’m not convinced that’s a TDS in this radar snapshot at least tho I’m hardly a pro here. EDIT: looking at the radar loop I think it *was* one at a point before this screenshot but idk if I t think it’s on the ground here. Might be some debris fallout

    I’ve paid this zero attention - is this a mountain snow threat? Can’t help but automatically look at the 850 line on these maps.

    Had a crazy gust of wind at my apartment 10 minutes ago. Howled like a blizzard. Some downdraft must’ve got caught in a wind tunnel or something. Knocked over everyone’s patio furniture and brought like half the building outside.

    Not quite weather but can see a huge fire in DC. Hope folks are alright - sounds like it was in one of the tunnels, which can’t be great.

    Seems like everyone here has been to Switzerland lol. Super easy - almost everyone speaks some English. Echo the travel pass recommendations. Interlaken and Grindelwald are like my favorite places ever so have fun in that area!

    So do I record a T today in DC/Arlington? Been inside all day.
  17. NorthArlington101
    Basically climo snow + cold. So like a C+?
  18. NorthArlington101
    No line here. Much more worried about Atlanta on Sunday morning
  19. NorthArlington101
    I’m doing that today. I wish us both well!
  20. NorthArlington101
    HRRR has a snow squall push through tomorrow morning lol

    I'm the wrong guy for this conversation actually haha - I just take the DC Bikeshare bikes! I have like a ~7minute bike commute so I haven't invested in any real gear minus a good helmet. Wouldn't recommend the non-electric D.C. bikes for anything other than super flat terrain. Super clunky bikes.
  22. NorthArlington101
    Even the sun makes the cold feel kinda warm at this point... still wouldn't mind biking to work without being bundled up!

    12z GFS back at it again. Snowing in the teens at Day 10. I'll be out of town, so sure it'll work out

    Tornadoes are a lot more interesting to report on, unfortunately. We can debate the merits of the 15% sig1 tor, but that usually is the tornado threat of the year, so don't blame local news for reporting that as such. That takes a lot of attention away from the winds, which were always forecast to roll through between 5-8pm. It distracted us all too and we should in theory know better.

    I know they just revamped to fix this - but I think most folks, if you asked them, would say yesterday's storms were maybe a 2/5 in severity on a five point scale. Maybe a 1.5/5. The problem(s) - of which there are many - is that a moderate risk is somewhat accurately described as a 4/5 risk. The kind of storms you only see every 3 years around here. Nobody felt yesterday's storms did that. So verification on percentages... good for SPC, I guess. Lot of room for messaging improvements.
