NorthArlington101

I gave up and left before the aurora showed up. Least I got it yesterday lol

Getting dinner out in Leesburg and hoping for progress in the next few hours.

Whatever. Gonna drive out to Loudoun and see what happens. Get dinner somewhere different if it doesn't pan out.

I’m still gonna try tonight but need the Bz to go negative stat.

It's unfortunate happenstance that some spots further south are on a bit of a "run" (though I doubt if you asked the SE thread folks, they'd think they've been on a heater) but in the greater timescale of recorded meteorological history the streak you refer to is a blip. It'll average back out in the averages eventually.

HRRR/RAP making me inclined to make somewhere in Loudoun or far-western FFX the target. MD not looking amazing

Looks like we're on track for an impact in the next few hours. At this point, I don't think we need to worry about it being too early. More worried about a glancing blow. Undecided on if I go north/east/west tonight. Will probably look at the clouds and drive somewhere around sunset. Might base it on traffic lol

Yeah, I think that's the one scenario where you have no other choice. But I guess my question would still be what the other option is. Underground tunnel just to get back to customs seems a tad $$$$. Maybe PenFed could sponsor it

Meh - they are quirky and fun. Not sure what the better option is... IIRC you can already walk or take the mini-subway they have in most cases but it's a longer journey.

My current plan is to roll out before/during sunset and drive north. Hoping the traffic isn’t heinous. anything around a 12pm hit should be good… substorms lasted til like 4am for yesterday’s.

Barely counts but pretty sure it was snow.

Stayed up for this because I’m a sicko I guess… hoping to report DC’s first flakes shortly. Not impossible it’ll be rain though lol

Difference here is this is multiple flares… there are 3 coming. Tonight is the first and second, which might have essentially merged. Tomorrow is the third, which is also the stronger one. I definitely went out tonight because I didn’t want to count on a two-night feature, but real chance tomorrow as well.

Tomorrow night really should be better… need to hope the flare doesn’t come too early.

Gotcha
