It's okay, I'll forgive you. Winds are picking up here downtown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 A perfect Friday to come home early...in a thunderstorm. Heavy rain, big gusts on the road (enough to push one box truck into the berm), and small hail (much to the dismay of a co-worker who just got hail damage repaired from living out of state) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Have friends that are supposed to take off from DCA around 2:30pm. I do not envy them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.J Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 The winds have really picked up here in Frederick just in the last hour. While driving my car was pelted with the left over pea stone that they put on the roads for snow control. Sounded like I was being shot at with a pellet gun.

Kmlwx Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 WOW, winds have really picked up here in earnest in Colesville, MD. Have had two very strong gusts hit the house in the last 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2O Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Have friends that are supposed to take off from DCA around 2:30pm. I do not envy them. Runway goes NW to SE, right? Nice tailwind to help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellinwood Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Power just flickered here... enough to kick my PC off. Winds are gusting to severe level outside. Trees are looking like they're about to break in the highest gusts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vastateofmind Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I'm thinking that LWX can lower that STW for Virginia locales, and very soon the Maryland ones as well, yes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellinwood Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I'm thinking that LWX can lower that STW for Virginia locales, and very soon the Maryland ones as well, yes? They're likely just waiting so they can take a good chunk off at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokeybandit Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 You got hail in Odenton? I met the hail just as I left Columbia...I drove home chasing the storm. By the time I got home it was sunny, so I don't know if Odenton got hail. Smail hail though, less than pea sized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
