  1. We do hear it roar through the trees. It's cool. I like the wind, hate cleaning up after it. We get just the perfect amount when it blows, just wish that was more often.
  2. Totally agree there! Breeze is one thing, but wind is another!
  3. And to whom would you make the check out to? If we could pay for weather events with 99% guarantee of realistic experience (from past events) which would you choose and how much?
  4. The calcs are too slow with larger factorials. Smart phones particularly Apple's amazing A15 can run circles around them! Typically dealing with n! where n may be over 50 billion.
  5. But a stronger Nina is good for tropical, right? Switched majors from atmospheric to electrical engineering myself. Worked on both sides with instrumentation and meteorology. Ti89s were fun but the real trenchwork was done with slide rules and Curtas!
  6. Used to it in NE MD TBH. Low 50s in May, OTOH, sucks. Like 1989.
  7. Ours is about 40 years old and 30' tall at top and just amazing looking too! 3" total for this storm but I have to say it's probably the best 3" I've experienced. (get your minds out of the gutter!)
  8. I lost two tennis balls in the snow, the drifts were easily 10".
  9. We have interesting "shadows" around our spruce pines. Basically little to no snow, just frozen grass. It's weird. That radar filling in looks nice. May get a flizzard warning.
  10. Got really bright here. March sun angle kicking in. Hurts my eyes to look outside it's so bright!
  11. We got stragglers coming in, look like volcanic ash. When big gusts shake snow off the (pine) line it looks like a viscous fog ready to eat everything in its path and the deck rail almost disappears!
  12. My border collie bounces off the walls if he isn't outside running and snow and mud days put a damper on things. I suited up and went for a walk. He had a blast gathering sticks! Sorry about the wind noise, I was trying to get a decent sound in this video of the trees groaning. They are covered in ice/snow. Doesn't take much to get them complaining LOL.
  13. Stick a fork in this winter! Pines are groaning at winds. A good shellacking from this morning's rain. Snow stuck to EVERYTHING facing north!
  14. Wow when there is a lull in the wind the flakes coming down look like snow on an old TV with no signal!. Then the wind comes and totally twists things up.
  15. 32/31 Jarrettsville. This pretty much sums it up. And first power flicker already!
  16. This is the weirdest snow I've seen. I look outside and it's dumping half dollars with hardly any wind. A minute later it's much smaller flakes and lighter. Another minute and it's swirling around again. Just now it looks like nothing but some blowing flakes. And now not 20 seconds later big flakes and vis down to 50 feet maybe.
  17. 33/32 More snow in the sleet and rain mix. Lawn, deck, roofs white from what looks like sea salt granules thanks to the 40 minutes of sleet bomb. Jarrettsville, MD
  18. WWA just upgraded to WSW for 3-6" for us! Talk about a hail mary event!
  19. 35/33 Snow/Sleet mix. Things are starting to gel over. Splendid! The only good news is the quick thaw is coming soon!
  20. Heavy rain 43/42. Temp just started dropping and winds have picked up considerably. With the forecasted wind and changeover to snow I'd expect some issues with tree limbs and power outages with this one.
  21. Yes it is! In 1982 we had a nearly dry frontal passage with 30-40 mph winds that caused blizzard warnings to be issued. There was a good 10" of snow on the ground and some main roads here drifted closed. The stars were out yet winds were whipping snow reducing visibility to zero at times. Fun stuff!
