2/6-7: Clipper Pack Refresher

[wawarriors4]

Snow Squall coming through Hartwood now. Wild wind and Heavy Snow. Really good stuff.

[clueless]

No joke. That line was intense. 

[SomeguyfromTakomaPark]

Looks like a snow squall must’ve come through, everything is more covered in snow than when I went to bed.  Wind is cranking now behind the front. 

[JakkelWx]

Holy SHIT! complete whiteout blizzard for 10 minutes! Had to gust to 50 MPH

[WxUSAF]

Looks like I got hit pretty flush with the snow along the Arctic front based on radar. But it’s all blown away… 

[dailylurker]

I haven't been out yet but it looks covered out there. It looks like an of snow where I had dug a patch through the pack. I got up and watched it come through. It came down real nice.

[Eskimo Joe]

So far kind of weak sauce with the winds.

I was just coming to say that. I'm packing my truck to head to the Pine Barrens in SNJ for a hike and there's no wind at all right now. It was a little gusty an hour ago. 

[WVclimo]

Martinsburg and Hagerstown have both gusted to 45.  Looks like peak wind speeds will be around midday.

Not supposed to peak till afternoon. Winds have been on the increase here.

The snow flurries never made it to Delaware.  Actually the radar was showing it dry up as it approached annapolis maryland. Don't know if any flurries happened around Ft Meade Maryland. Yesterday evening the radar showed snow around Baltimore but the traffic cameras showed nothing.  Maybe they got something. 

As of now temps in magnolia Delaware went from 31F @ 4:30 to 23 @ 6:56.

Winds 12 gusts already at 25

The wind is so gusty here in Odenton that my dog's crap blew down the street as soon as it fell out...

[SomeguyfromTakomaPark]

Very windy here but I’m happy to not have 60 mph gusts and lose power at 10 degrees, my basement is electric heat and I wouldn’t want pipes to freeze. 

[SomeguyfromTakomaPark]

DCA is currently sustained 28 mph gusting to 48

[H2O]

20°. Wind in winter is dumb. Loud wind in winter is dumber

[WVclimo]

Lots of blowing snow in the farm fields next to my property.  Most of what fell on car tops and my driveway overnight has blown away.  14° with a wind chill of -1

[MN Transplant]

The three airports have already gusted into the upper 40s.  Temps are still dropping.  Pretty nasty out there.

[GramaxRefugee]

0.3" snow pre-dawn . Temp fell from 30 to 20. DP 4. Breezy

If we gust to 60 it will be between 10am and 2pm. Look at the hourly wind chart on point and click. They have max gusts around noon.

Hopefully not lol!!! Takoma park has a zillion huge trues overhanging every house and are very strict about not cutting them down. 

[Paleocene]

Gusts are blowing the powder that fell last night around in snow clouds and whirlwinds in my backyard. Cool how we now have the climate of Saskatchewan 

[NorthArlington101]

Can’t believe the squall made it. I was lied to! Anything that fell yesterday must’ve been blown off my balcony because I can’t see it. Time to stay inside the rest of the day.

There’s a very sharp trough associated with this clipper that looks like it will pass through early Saturday morning. Might be the arctic front? Guidance has snow associated with it upstream of us, very squally looking. But the mountains mostly kill it. 6z hrrr is the first run I’ve seen that gets some into the metro area. That may be worth watching.

I'm declaring redemption for WWAW with this call

Coldest wind chill I can find in the broader region is Bradford, PA (NW PA) at -35F within the last 30 minutes.

[mappy]

Max gust of 35 so far in Parkton

[Herb@MAWS]

Going with 0.4” imby. Bona fide car topper yesterday evening. The first big frontal wind gust blew it all off the cars. 

[Eskimo Joe]

 

[SnowtoRain]

Mesonet in Talbot County on the water gusted 51, Easton Mesonet 44, what is more impressive is wind is sustained around 30. 

21.0 with a gust of 23.9 at my PWS
