  1. What time will Delmarva sink into the sea?
  2. You have to understand that we have a tendency to get the rug pulled out from underneath us at the last minute, sometimes as late as 12 to 24 hours prior to the event. It gets worse when folks from other forums come down to rub salt in the wounds and spike the ball in our face just to get a rise out of us. Snow is sacred here, you wait months for a 15 days window that produces maybe 8 to 12 hours of snow and then it's gone by sunset the next day.
  3. Hitsotircally, La Nina winters are pretty terrible south of DC and east of I-95. Unless you're along Mason-Dixon or at a higher elevation, keep your expectations really low.
  4. Unless it's 1995-1996, 2002-2003, or 2009-2010 redux, it's a failure. I've been guilty of that in the past. Just give me climo and Christmas snow anymore and I'm happy.
  5. You must be new here.
  6. Adults sucking the fun out of everything. There was a big push in the early 2000s in Lancaster to rebrand the day at "Jesusween" and seeing the ads in the newspaper were bizarre.
  7. The prolonged storm last winter had 1 run where the NAM put 50" out for the Catoctin Mts.
  8. Big outages across SE MA and RI. Some places approaching >95% outages.
  9. Honestly, I don't know. In a situation like that, I incorporate CoCoRahs and doppler estimates. If my rain totals are too high or low, I toss them and use the consensus around me. Keep in mind, this only happens maybe 1 event in 10.
  10. https://patch.com/maryland/perryhall/snowiest-day-record-when-baltimore-county-saw-most-snowfall
  11. I have a Tempest wx station as well. The haptic rain sensor can have a slight overbias during prolonged heavy rain, and a slight underbias during prolonged drizzle or light rain.
  12. You gotta get out of the city. You have sucko elevation.
  13. As long as they don't kill the fishing, I'm cool with it. That area won't grow above 2% so there's really no need for the housing in the first place. People are going to move there and get shocked at the first winter storm up there.
  14. Both. Not happy with the changes at all property investment firms ruin everything. Saw a couple of ground hogs this autumn thankfully.
  15. Hi fellow Pen Mar-er. Love going to Ft. Ritchie!
  16. Too much rain in too little time will get you no matter how dry things are.
  17. It'll stick with those rates on trees and powerlines. Rekt.
  18. Storm just EZF is warned with "Tornado Possible" tag. Starting to get "the look".
  19. Radar starting to light up along the I-64 corridor.
  20. Green Bay isn't any better. If it was anybody other than WFT, we would've been blown out.
