  1. Probably gonna age badly but the prefrontal cells that are firing on the models verbatim don’t look that impressive. Sheared out and more like crapvection that minimizes the threat of the line later a bit. Quote me tomorrow though when the EF3 runs over my head.
  2. I think you’ll get classes after 2pm canceled. Though UVA actually has designated storm shelters on-Grounds so maybe they’ll be a little more willing to give it a go. I recall a tornado threat day where I was in class watching the radar so they obviously didn’t cancel that day!
  3. They just want the liability off their hands. Once one district called it off everyone was gonna follow. I’m even fairly sure OPM will send me home early if the advice going around is “be off the roads by 4.” Unlikely this tops derecho but there is a bigger tornado threat.
  4. Hmmm… don’t know if I’ve got a lot of good advice for you here. Not a lot of great views looking toward the mountains. Top of Culbreth Garage? Or from Clem on the balcony looking east?
  5. Yeah, feel the big tree concern. I am in the DC condo situation so I’m unconcerned, but family is well in the forests of Arlington. Big tree took down the neighbor’s roof during the derecho. We get ours inspected every year since that but it always scared me during thunderstorm season.
  6. I’ve thought about telling my family to do something similar but will wait til the line actually forms. At least head to the Starbucks lol.
  7. With the new rating system you can more easily have a wind-driven high risk. High risk is less likely to equal a massive tornado day… same with moderate. I still don’t think we need a high risk upgrade, but you could probably justify it tomorrow if we uptrend even slightly.
  8. Tomorrow is an obvious evening activities canceled for local school systems. Trickier call to early release depending on when the squall line is. I’d guess most schools pull the trigger.
  9. Have a flight that Friday. Wasn’t worried about missing a winter storm when I booked it. Probably still shouldn’t be
  10. Severe sucks. Don’t want anyone losing their house or their life. I track it to stay busy, but I hate it. Would be okay with no severe ever again.
  11. Wind driven moderate feels like a decent guess for Monday right now. I’d lean 45% wind sig 2 10% tor sig 1 Hail idc
  12. Cappucci and his team there ideally would know better that it's a Day 4 outlook and that it doesn't correspond to a risk level at that range... but yeah. I wouldn't be shocked to see some school impacts Monday given a four day warning timeline is pretty big for a severe event.
  13. Probably gonna go with .1" in DC to match DCA... 1" in NW Arlington? My family's photos didn't look as impressive as @MN Transplant's. Guess I'll see what spotters have to say.
  14. Looking at traffic cams this feels like it's gonna be another 1"er in Arlington and 0"er in DC. Gotta get out of this city. Or be able to work from home at my family's house.
  15. Everything minus time of day (and year, lol) worked out well here.
  16. Yes! It’s so interesting. Snow fades away for 10 seconds then rushes back down to the ground.
  17. Living vicariously through the traffic cams.
  18. Might as well be rain in downtown. Appreciate the restiveness regardless!
  19. Need the trailing wave/stuff down south to come up and save us. Models that “boom” us keep us rolling past 2/3pm.
  20. It’s not gonna be 6” but I suspect someone achieves the EURO snow depth of ~1”
  21. Just got the text from the family that it’s all snow in our corner of Arlington. Hopefully we all flip fully soon.
  22. It’s been very light mix near Cap 1 for the past hour or so. Just want a good jebwalk.
  23. Just can’t get into the heavy precip inside the Beltway. Need to wait for this to push east.
  24. Family sent in video of snow in Harrisonburg. Still waiting for heavies to push into DC and aid a flip.
