  1. 33/24 Light sleet; starting to get a coating on the deck. Already my second biggest event of the year!
  2. We've had steady flurries for the last couple hours. It was great mood snow for gift opening and Xmas brunch. Merry Christmas everyone!
  3. Ended up with 2.25" here. Nice way to start the winter.
  4. Switched over to sleet a little before 1:30 in N. Bethesda. 2" of snow before the change. I have officially surpassed last winter's total!
  5. Puking dendrites in N. Bethesda. Eyeballing a bit over an inch.
  6. First flakes of the year in N. Bethesda!
  7. I would be quite happy with seeing first flakes of the year. Seems like that's still a possibility.
  8. DT, thanks for the write up and nice to see you back.
  9. The core of the radar-indicated winds passed over us, but I don't think we gusted much above 30-40 mph here. Torrential rain (10+ in/hr) and lots of lightning were the big story here.
  10. Thanks for stopping in to share your thoughts. The terrain is manageable. The traffic is the big challenge around here.
  11. Great storm. Hail core just missed me to the south, but I got torrential rain (maxing out at 9.5 in/hr) and some good wind gusts likely around 40 mph.
  12. Torrential rain, some wind and some thunder and lightning. Nice storm to kick off the season. Glad the more severe winds didn't materialize. I've spent the last month or so stocking the freezer, and am glad not to lose power.
  13. Thanks. I guess I need to check my weather radio to see why it didn't go off.
  14. More from Bethesda below. I may have missed it, but I don't think there was a warning out for this portion of the line. I'm a few miles away, and it doesn't seem like we had any significant wind here. My weather station (which is highly sheltered from wind) only had a reading of 10 mph. It tends to run 40-50% of actual winds, so it suggests we didn't see anything above the low 20s.
  15. What Bob actually wrote: What the weenies see: Edit: Ninja'd by Zugzwang!
  16. This is the last bit of damage I could find: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Joplin,+MO&hl=en&ll=37.030441,-94.330346&spn=0.003606,0.006968&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=57.772232,114.169922&vpsrc=6&t=h&z=18 What are you seeing down by Granby?
  17. It woke my wife up, and she woke me up. I felt the bed vibrating a bit. It felt pretty similar to the Germantown earthquake last year; nothing like Tuesday's.
  18. Yeah, but it was in Missouri then...
