MN Transplant Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Bunch of intersections w/o power in NW DC. Couldn't hop on The Clara Barton because something was down in the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Pretty consistent gusts to the 30mph range, which is solid since that is through several oak trees. DCA and BWI: 36 IAD: 31 JYO: 45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BethesdaWX Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I've been without phone power for 6hrs, that's a first since everything else is running fine. Highest gust here was WNW at 46mph, so not as strong as recorded in G-town but still had frequent gusts in the 30-40mph range. The drive home was pretty bad, dark intersections during friday eve rush hour really blow. I thought avoiding I270 would be a good move but it backfired. Wet soil apparently didn't help the trees...or PEPCO just sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

das Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 State of the Snowpack this morning: I wonder if Clarksburg will get a pixel on NIC IMS? Not much of a cold front yesterday. We bottomed out at 33.7F last night, even with winds going nearly calm and very little cloud cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could sure use the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs.J Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Wind gusts are crazy up here. Things are being thrown at the back of the house. Weather Bug station at the Elementary school across the street shows a 39mph gust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhineasC Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 you should know the answer being an engineer and all I am sort of curious as to why more atmospheric scientists haven't been studying the wind microclimate around your house. I wonder what causes these rogue gusts that affect only you and no one else? Perhaps some kind of enhanced pressure gradient between your driveway and the street?

CranberryWX Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 The day is starting off chilly at 20. Another wind advisory for this afternoon as the front comes through. Seems like just a few days ago my forecast high for Sunday was 34, now it's 50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellinwood Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 HRRR brings some snow showers into our region along the cold front this evening: Surface temps: Perhaps a quick dusting in the DC/MD region if the surface temps cooperate... northern WV and MD panhandle upslope areas could see up to an inch.

WVclimo Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 High clouds coming in from the west now, but the clear skies since sunset have allowed the temp to drop to 36. Front is 60-90 minutes west of here, but looks pretty good on radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
