Getting dinner out in Leesburg and hoping for progress in the next few hours.
-
Whatever. Gonna drive out to Loudoun and see what happens. Get dinner somewhere different if it doesn't pan out.
-
I’m still gonna try tonight but need the Bz to go negative stat.
-
It's unfortunate happenstance that some spots further south are on a bit of a "run" (though I doubt if you asked the SE thread folks, they'd think they've been on a heater) but in the greater timescale of recorded meteorological history the streak you refer to is a blip. It'll average back out in the averages eventually.
-
HRRR/RAP making me inclined to make somewhere in Loudoun or far-western FFX the target. MD not looking amazing
-
Looks like we're on track for an impact in the next few hours. At this point, I don't think we need to worry about it being too early. More worried about a glancing blow. Undecided on if I go north/east/west tonight. Will probably look at the clouds and drive somewhere around sunset. Might base it on traffic lol
-
Yeah, I think that's the one scenario where you have no other choice. But I guess my question would still be what the other option is. Underground tunnel just to get back to customs seems a tad $$$$. Maybe PenFed could sponsor it
-
Meh - they are quirky and fun. Not sure what the better option is... IIRC you can already walk or take the mini-subway they have in most cases but it's a longer journey.
-
My current plan is to roll out before/during sunset and drive north. Hoping the traffic isn’t heinous. anything around a 12pm hit should be good… substorms lasted til like 4am for yesterday’s.
-
Barely counts but pretty sure it was snow.
-
Stayed up for this because I’m a sicko I guess… hoping to report DC’s first flakes shortly. Not impossible it’ll be rain though lol
-
Difference here is this is multiple flares… there are 3 coming. Tonight is the first and second, which might have essentially merged. Tomorrow is the third, which is also the stronger one. I definitely went out tonight because I didn’t want to count on a two-night feature, but real chance tomorrow as well.
-
Tomorrow night really should be better… need to hope the flare doesn’t come too early.
-
Gotcha
-
Shenandoah and Northern MD getting lights. Worth it to stick your head outside if you are a rural person!
-
Trying to avoid clouds and going east to Kent Island now.
-
Probably both nights. Gonna try tonight since it's getting some steam online. If I lived where you did I'd stick my head out soon regardless... you've got much less light to deal with then I do lol https://twitter.com/Vincent_Ledvina/status/1988397247898554680?s=20

Nerds on Twitter saying faint reds down in NC mountains
-
Trying to wait for my trade partner (girlfriend). Hoping to get out around 8 and gonna try Poolesville area since it’s farmland-y and hopefully I can have a decent view north.
-
Odds looking good. I’m going out.
-
It started super negative and flipped super positive. Guess we’ll see how it goes.
-
Looks pretty impressive. Might’ve lied and may go out tonight. First impact should be in ~30m. If we can see it very locally… game on.
-
I think I’m tomorrow night or bust. Would take a pretty strong signal in the next 2 hours to get me outside - don’t think these precursor CMEs were supposed to be too special. Probably see something from SNP. Think the hope is these destabilize the magnetosphere a bit and the one tomorrow pops off. Hopefully an added benefit of extended darkness is that we’ve got a larger window and can worry about timing a little less. Fingers crossed.
-
My aurora chat is popping off and they (not experts... hobbyists) are leaning tomorrow night. They are very excited... G4/G5. Gonna make a plan to get out in the boonies.
-
He might… that’s where some of the models have had some random light snow. Radar suggests it’s possible.
