  1. His location says 'near cumberland gap, va' which has an elevation of ~1,600' per USGS.
  2. As long as we aren't above the upper 50s for highs I'm okay. The last couple of years have been too warm.
  3. Get ready for a lot of them this winter. We do rain and 35 so well of late.
  4. I would love to see it. It's an anomalous event and would potentially signal a good winter coming.
  5. Maybe in Jackpotville, but to see the US50/301 corridor get almost a foot of cold powder in mid November would be insane.
  6. GFS is loltastic...would rival the 1987 event
  7. I remember Tom Lamiaine on CBS 3 just botching the forecast horrifically. He kept saying the NW suburbs would be off the hook with only a few inches even as NBC 10, FOX 29 and ABC 6 were going all in.
  8. I love you for finding this. I have so many strong, wonderful memories of this event despite being only 9 at the time.
  9. EPS will be interesting to see if the OP is on crack or maybe somewhat in the ballpark.
  10. Cross polar flow this early in the year is always nice to see. I just hope we don't empty the clip and somehow reset to a blistering SE ridge for the meat of winter. At the very least this should kick up a good amount of lake effect and start freezing up Canada.
  11. I was born in Philly during the Veterans Day event in '87. My dad said it was not forecast well even in Philly, but the rest of the winter was pretty bland. Would be funny to get that Monday event almost 30 years to the day of the anniversary.
  12. Three 10 foot rows of garlic planted this weekend and put under a plastic row cover. Beets and collards to follow next weekend.
  13. Probably. Well have 65 degrees with bad air quality just in time for Santa.
  14. If I ever get even slightly excited for an upcoming weather event, please troll the crapola out of me and laugh me out of the thread. What a bust of an event this was, especially for a 10% TOR and 45% WND.
  15. There's a spike in transformer calls in Howard and southern Carroll County right now.
  16. several wires/tree calls in Westminster and New Windsor. Biggest winds seem to be ahead and just behind the precip. The winds slack off significantly once the rains start then about 10 min later it comes back in. There was a weak capping inversion noted on the 19z special RAOB out of IAD around 800mb. It's possible that the evaporational cooling from the precip kills the cap and then allows the rain to transport the winds to the surface.
  17. SPC issues SEVERE TSTM WATCH until 05:00 UTC 11/01/19
