I was looking at your station earlier because I noticed that gust on my display because you upload to CWOP. Nice fetch from the Magothy today for you. I bet the Magothy is absolutely running out of the channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect that's the reason for the hammer like thumping I hear. On another note, witnessed the fastest blow out tide I've ever seen. Watched a fish flip flop his way to the departing waterline.

Need to put on a tide gauge one of these days, but calibrating it's elevation is not going to be fun. Although today it would be below the lowest level of any tide gauge - it's all sand there now! Normally a couple feet of water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthArlington101 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 About time for the wind to stop. Tree in our neighbors front yard has split and is almost certainly going to end up on a power line or the yard. Rather not lose power forever lol. Shingles are flying away too. Never liked wind.

These winds are going to gust over 40mph until at least early tomorrow morning. I hope I'm wrong but I think he power outages are just beginning. Sun powered wind in Alexandria currently.

biodhokie Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 So far been living in a pocket of power, some flickers but no outages yet. Hopefully stays that way but we've gotten some really good wind gusts 70 ft up. One this morning made the building feel as if it was vibrating. Kinda cool, ready for this to be over with though.

RevWarReenactor Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Based on traffic reports looks like I-95 in northeast Maryland is a parking lot with Hatem closed and other parts of the road totally closed. Not even rush hour yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlizzardNole Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Man this is crazy - some of the gusts sound like they are going to push the back door right open. So NY state -- there's a band of very heavy snow just sitting over Albany to Oneonta, and there's a town in between called Richmondville that has 32 inches as of 12:18 pm!

I can confirm it's pretty blustery up our way, but, with the exception of a couple impressive gusts, it hasn't been too bad. Power has been a bit unsteady, but haven't lost it for more than a few seconds at a time. Generator doesn't even have time to kick on. Not much in the way of branches or debris that I can see. Trees on the hilltops are moving a ton. We are on the leeward side of a fairly significant hill (we're at about 800' elevation, the hill continues up to the north to about 900'), so take that into consideration for my observations.

Not even rush hour yet. Is there going to *be* a rush hour? Everyone in the government or public school system is home. I'd imagine a *lot* of private employees are working from home or working odd hours today, too, and the usual Friday push on 95 won't be there with a mega storm raging in the NE.

There seems like there is a wall setting up if you drew a line from 83 south straight through MD. Not sure anyone west of that line will get anything. Storm needs to back in more west.

87storms Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 wind has ratcheted up again lately. driving around you can see branches around. not the worst stuff i've seen (i was near raleigh during fran), but still windier than usual and reminds me of a cold front in october.
