  1. Nope, I love legit winter storms especially ones that surprise everyone. Just like 1/25/2000...it's a shame that with better forecasting accuracy these are quickly becoming a thing of the past
  2. Just like June 13, 2013 when we went from D1 MOD to nada in 2 hours. Moco had a tornado but that was it.
  3. Damn I was legit curious. I'm not well versed on storms pre 1987. Sounds like the kind of storm I'd love!
  4. What was so neat about the blizzard of 79?
  5. September to December is the best beer time of the year.
  6. I planted on time, but lost a week of feeding/weeding for a small vacation. That tip was for everyone else because there's nothing more exciting than watching pumpkins grow and making fresh pie from them.
  7. Yup. D2 ENH is the new D2 MOD in these parts...destined for failure.
  8. Pumpkins finally showing up on my vines. ProTip: if you're trying to grow squash, melons or pumpkins and only getting male flowers, it is likely due to stress. Feed your plants a high potash formula for 2 weeks and you'll see female flowers pretty quickly.
  9. People forget the ENH is just the old 30%. We average between 1 and 3 ENH a year and it's been pretty quite this year even compared to our usual quietness so I wonder if folks are just starved for some action.
  10. Eh, something usually messes us up. LWX talks about cloud cover so it'll probably be that. Maybe it'll be different this time.
  11. Looks like summer has been beaten back for good. Nothing real hot in the long range and we're losing daylight faster now.
  12. I don't think so. The activity in MD has kicked off a long lived outflow boundary that just pressed south of I-66 in VA. As that boundary moves through it's kicking the storms up. You should see an uptick over the next hour.
  13. Possible wet microburst at IAD?
  14. Well that was a real disappointment.
  15. Nice hail spike just on the cell just west of Front Royal.
  16. The activity just SW of Gaithersburg just fell apart on the VIL / VILD as it approached me...classic.
  17. Constant thunder in Gaithersburg and it's getting legit dark.
  18. Notice how the outflow from the initial storm in Frederick County has moved east and is energizing the activity in Fairfax and Montgomery. Decent wind signature just NE of Sugarland Run in Fairfax.
  19. Blue box until 00:00 UTC 8/8/19. WCN should be coming shortly.
