581 W after the split - she was running an errand instead of driving straight home 

Really amazing picture regardless. That's not to far from me. I wish I could have been that close.

I was just up in Selensgrove earlier today to pick up my new (used) car. Glad I left this morning. Still hoping to hear from Bliz soon.

Me too.  My aunt lives up near him and is reporting some pretty extensive tree damage. She's in her eighties, so I didn't ask her to go out and take any pictures for her me.

I was on 81 and 322 I got pics of the storm but will have to wait till tomorrow morning till I can post them from my computer.

Why not? The exercise would have been good for her...maybe not on 2nd thought.

Thanks for thinking of me! We had indoor softball practice for my daughter’s team in the middle of nowhere Perry county with no cell service. The tornado warning was issued right before we started practice. Luckily where we were, there was no bad storm!

Everything was good when we got back to Marysville Borough. I’m not sure what part of Marysville that it specifically hit.

Thanks for the update. Truly glad all is well and you and your family are safe. I've been anxiously waiting and hoping to hear this.

The only power outages I could find up that way that  we're listed was by pp&l, and I believe I counted 17. It doesn't mean that there wasn't touchdowns or severe weather,but it looks like it might have been pretty sporadic and not a swath.

 I know this isn’t our area but it’s going on midnight and it’s still nearly 80ºF in and around DC, on March 11th. That’s nuts

The crazy thing is the 76 observed on the 3am hourly at DCA would be a record April high for that hour at that site, and we’re still in the first half of March.

I thought maybe this would help some enjoy the step out the door this morning. I want extreme cold and wet,I need  warm and dry, but when the hell do I  get either.

Steady ass rain here this morning with real shity f****** cold and wind's blowing at bullshit speed, with some sideways mist mixed in for extra penetration.

You can clearly see in the fifth picture that that lowering is the mesocyclone, and not just a shelf cloud. If that thing couldn't get a tornado to the ground what can ?

[pawatch]

42 degrees most of the rain is staying to the east of us.

Some nice pictures of the storms, thanks for sharing!

[Yardstickgozinya]

Hell, you can even see the rfd in the first two pictures ,that's textbook.

[mahantango#1]

Sleet mixing with the rain here temp 40.6.

[Blizzard of 93]

Temperature is down to 41 in Marysville.

The rain & wind overnight was impressive.

[mahantango#1]

Precipitation  total for January and February 1.85

For March so far 3.31

1.08 so far this week.

It will be interesting to see how this weak wave on the stalling front plays out today. Radar over the past hour appears to be stalling & building a bit in western MD & eastern WV, down through the spine of the southern Appalachians.

Maybe the LSV gets a good period of wet snow later on?

Just the fact that we may see snow is unbelievable after the last three days.  Feels so much better out there today.
