Stormfly

I'll take Hazel redux for $1000, Alex.

Mud season in full swing here. Just a shower and puddles everywhere. SE Winds gusting to 25mph and low 40s. Quite raw outside.

Careful what you wish for! (remember the movie Click?) Imagine us actually getting decent tropical, Derecho redux... There are some things using that skip button would be good for. Holidays and traffic come to mind.

I noticed this as well but it stopped. 4-7" and ending by midnight? Going to be some serious rates! May even beat the 2/19 event.

Same here. Glaze on trees is beautiful.

If we can't get snow at least let there be wind!

The sound of the water dripping off the trees onto the fresh aka mushy snowpack sounded like a downpour. Eerie with the bright sunshine. We did not breach 32 until after 830 here. Fortunately the precip shut down as if it rained all night there would have been tremendous tree damage.

How about 7" on that day...1984 seems like yesterday! https://www.wbaltv.com/article/1984-report-colts-leave-baltimore-overnight/6802490 I remember that storm. Strong Noreaster. Frequent gusts of wind to 50-55mph on the evening of the 27th. Official forecast was rain changing to snow before ending, little or no accumulation. Here in Harford we got 7" maybe more. And it was heavy AF. Broke two shovels at the bottom of the lane with lots of water running beneath. Also woke up to the lowest recorded barometric pressure of 28.87". Well until 03/13/93 (28.53") March can be amazing here. And fickle too! 3/1/80 we got 7" and exactly a week later it was close to 80 and we had severe that evening. What I do NOT enjoy is cold April fog/drizzle cold air damming nonsense. Typically ends suddenly with summer DPs in the 70s. 1989 had a lot of that.

Not here but we're sensitive to it and with the ZR headed our way accretion is going to hit the 1/3" range on trees. Last time we had that category of ice would have been 2014. We got clobbered with that storm and a lot of folks along the MD/PA line were without power for a week or more. BGE is our supplier and they are decent with maintaining 10' clearance on overheads but with the mix of pines and oaks up here a Y split down the middle bringing half a tree across overheads is game over. EDIT: Winds are very slight so still a lot of snow on the spruce trees. When the wind starts to kick up with ice covering the forest it's one of the neatest sounds of nature hearing that crackling noise. Of course it can be dangerous too if you're too close and a big piece comes down on you! Such as this!

Just starting to get cranked up here. Dusting on everything including paved sufaces. Took forever for that column to get saturated but we finally have flakes flying!
