  1. Likely never will. Too much development next to the highway. The eminent domain costs are insane. 270 should have been 4 lanes across up to I-70 from the start.
  2. Growing up in Philly pre-Internet school admins would have a number assigned to their school and then call into a local AM radio station. The radio station would read off the numbers it was like waiting for your lottery numbers:
  3. Maybe waiting for the ole' 3:30 pm update. Like back in the 90s when you run off the school bus and flip on TWC to see the crawl and the Local on the 8s update praying for a "Winter Storm Warning in effect" text to appear.
  4. CTP upgraded the Mason-Dixon counties to a warning so maybe LWX does the same for jackpotville?
  5. It's entirely possible the northern and western suburbs, especially those above say 600, 700 ft elevation, wind up with a truly impactful event.
  6. LWX has every reason to play this storm conservatively for all of the usual reasons (March, temps chasing precip, etc). That being said, I do agree there is an above average potential for this to "boom" for us and I'm cautiously optimistic about this setup along and west of I-95.
  7. Post those images for those of us who can't see the stuff at work.
  8. HRRR really showing the influence of terrains. Has a Parrs Ridge and Catoctin Mt jackpot well into warning criteria snowfall. Not expecting much on the roads, but this could be the kind of setup for some places that kills trees and powerlines.
  9. Mississippi and Alabama are probably going to get more snow than us from this system. Eternal pain.
  10. The problem with this event is that the models finally picked up on the daylight saving time which means one less hour to cool the atmosphere overnight, hence less snow and a more inland track. /s
  11. At HR102 nonetheless. Would be an interesting spring storm for the higher elevations.
  12. Pretty rapid melt off. Sun angle + warm air advection = drip, drip, drip.
  13. Ice definitely overperformed on trees and wires up in Carroll and Baltimore counties. Several transformer fires and wires down overnight. M0.1" - M0.2" in western Carroll after midnight.
  14. With ice, it's almost never about the roads (bridges and overpasses the exception). More power lines and trees.
