Bob Chill Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 The wind looks like the biggest part of the event but maybe 1" can make 1' drifts somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowfan Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 We do wind pretty well, so I'm expecting this to be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmlwx Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 The wind looks like the biggest part of the event but maybe 1" can make 1' drifts somewhere. I enjoy wind. Much excitement. I hope I lose power for 5 months. Just kidding. It is excited though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I despise wind in winter, unless its associated with a blizzard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I have a ton of small branches an twigs in my backyard from the exciting "wind events" we've had already. A beaver would have a field day out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StudentOfClimatology Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I'm a big fan of the 12z Euro. About 1" of snow across the I-95 corridor in the midst of 60-65mph gusts. Mini-blizzard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dailylurker Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Sounds like a nice day for a walk along the eastern shore of the bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StudentOfClimatology Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Nowhere to go but up. Getting measurable with big wind would be a nice win. If we can get this to dig more, that helps next week, right? Edit: My bar .25" of snow One 40mph gust imby (which would pretty much beat last year's svr season) Might help form a pseudo 50/50/confluence, at least initially? I have higher standards for this one than you do, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlet Pimpernel Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 The wind looks like the biggest part of the event but maybe 1" can make 1' drifts somewhere. We can slant-stick that and give BOS a run for their money on this one! Let's do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVclimo Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 12Z Euro has midday temps on Sunday of 0 to +5F and winds of 25-55 mph in the high ground of Garrett Co. Wind chills -20 to -30. Doesn't show any precip falling, but plenty of snow depth for blowing and drifting. If this looks to hold, I may try and talk the family into doing some hiking there on Sunday.

If this looks to hold, I may try and talk the family into doing some hiking there on Sunday. GFS and Euro both have widespread 50mph gusts for a time with windchills well below zero. If we get an inch on the ground it's surely going to look and feel like winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a 1/4 mile walk from the parking area...if that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a 1/4 mile walk from the parking area...if that. Agree. The frozen falls are a sight to behold as well. Very cool. Swallow Falls in Maryland west of Oakland is cool too: One of my favorite places is Herrington Manor State Park right next door where they have stone cabins for rent and a great sledding hill. The park office (right next to the sledding hill in the woods) has XC ski, sled and snowshoe rentals and the sledding hill is lighted until 11pm on the weekends. http://reservations.dnr.state.md.us/# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowfan Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 It's an all around great area. If I thought it would be safe, I'd try to figure out a way to get up on Dolly Sods, but it would be brutal up there and you'd have to hike in since the roads are not maintained this time of year. Still though, there's plenty to do at Blackwater Falls, Canaan Valley, etc. You can snowshoe at Whitegrass for $35. That includes the cost to rent the snowshoes. And only 3 hours from DC. Agree. The frozen falls are a sight to behold as well. Very cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
