09-10 analogy

Yep that’s the highest I saw from the most recent LWX ob list. I’ve been well into the 40s, at least, here.

EF2 at least

No accumulation, but there’s a nice sized puddle near a storm sewer on my street, so it’ll be interesting to see when it freezes over. that has got to be the nerdiest thing I’ve ever posted here, and that’s saying something. Most places, saying “I spent the Friday before Christmas watching standing water freeze over near a sewer” would get me committed.

Now the wait is on to see if any surface starts to “cave.” ill prolly be waiting a month or so for that.

Some potent gusts and flurries in up nw. I’d say we’ve gone from intermittent flurries to light to moderate snow. Been a while since I’ve seen snow vectoring at 240-270 degrees

They better bolt down the national Christmas tree against the wedges that are going to form on the Ellipse.

Does the fact that the 12z shows more of a closed 500 low than the 0z have any implications as to trend? EDIT: As in, trending toward a more gratifying surface solutions for weenies.

I've never posted the following anytime, anywhere, but now is as good a time as ever: America, f**k yeah!

Clearly obvious why the Veterans Day snowstorm was so anomalous for the DMV ... ... Parr's Ridge didn't jack.

Did you get my PM requesting to join your Discord?

Noticed that too last night. Now I know what exactly was making that sound!

It was quite warm yesterday during Wisconsin ave open streets event. Bit of a gambit planning it for early nov, but it paid off. Almost too warm

May be even foggier now than Tuesday

Knife. Cut. Fog. Proverbial.

I’m assuming our property near Beaufort is ok. Haven’t heard from our tenants so no news is good news. Area got pretty hard hit by both Matthew and Irma.

When Charley went thru ft. Myers in 2004 my wife had the unfortunate luck to be visiting her parents at the time. With our 3 month old daughter in tow. They made out fine but couldn’t get back to DC for 10 days or so and were miserable in the heat. She brought me back a “I survived Hurricane Charley” t-shirt, which I put away and then uncovered this spring when I was cleaning out old clothes. So I’ve been wearing the hell out of that shirt this summer. Since it was in good condition from all those years at the bottom of a drawer. Will have to put it away now because a)wearing it is probably bad form and b) it’s, frankly, been rendered obsolete by Ian.

Even with all the big storms of this century so far, our very own Isabel still leads the pack in terms of Integrated Kinetic Energy (IKE): Isabel 173 Sandy 141 Katrina 121 Wilma 103 Frances 93 Ivan 81 Flo 49 Ian 47 (tentative?) Ida 47 Dennis 40 Laura 21 Andrew 20 Charley 7 Other storms of note: Opal 120, Hugo 94, Andrew 20 (from Jeff Masters' site: yaleclimateconnections.org) Don't ask me why I'm posting this at 4 AM. I thought I could go at least one year without worrying about our house down near Beaufort, SC, on an island. That's not the whole reason for my insomnia, but a bit of it. ETA: Another site had Irma with about 50 IKE and Michael with about 25.

Don't know, sorry. I just watch the youtube site with the sound down.

Severe Studios have a webcam in Punta Gorda that's supposedly going to emerge into the eye shortly, for those who are interested.

Somewhere in here there's a joke lurking about all the people who'll need loans for reconstruction in SW Florida, but I'm not clever enough to tease it out.

ROMA: James, I’m glad to you, James. I want to show you something. It might mean nothing to you...and it might not. I don't know. I don't know anymore.(pause. He takes out a small map and spreads it on a table) What is that? Florida. Glengarry Highlands. Florida. "Florida. Bullshit." And maybe that's true, and that's what I said, but look here: what is this? This is a piece of land. Listen to what I’m going to tell you now:

Some of those idiots on the pier have to be trolls; there was just a shot of a dynamic duo one of whom had an umbrella that of course was trashed

Driving up next week to central NY to do a little hiking and then pick our daughter up from Toothpaste U. Would be nice to see some tropical-induced flurries. Remnant Ian circulation over the Lakes and boom, you've got a coverlet of snew. I may be counting on higher latitude too much here ...

Just want to see DC pop up in the wind probabilities chart at the next update. At a 1 for 34k, but whatever. Kind of like getting a pity MD with a dying line of thundershowers to our west.
