jviper Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Thinking the same thing about Comcast and Pepco in Gaithersburg, But the wind in picking up nice now. This evening will be telling. I don't think the heavy stuff's going to come down for quite a while.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Crazy...we're going to have a 940mb, 90mph hurricane making landfall in Jersey/Delaware moving nearly due west. At the end of October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Where did the obs thread go? Looks like the obs and banter thread got merged for some reason. Too bad. I'd been enjoying the more streamlined obs thread. The banter thread was hard to keep up with unless I'm constantly on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snownerd Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Am I reading this right that some spots might see 5+" of snow in an hour later? That number seems really high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 It was my suggestion but we can separate them again....I found it cumbersome to browse through 5 discrete threads many with overlapping posts good luck re separating 'em.. merge not best idea could have closed one im kinda doubting the winds.. right before they crush harder probably (and yes right on time some big gusts) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 good luck re separating 'em.. merge not best idea could have closed one im kinda doubting the winds.. right before they crush harder probably (and yes right on time some big gusts) We've already gone to 52 at DCA. Looking at the radar, I can't imagine we won't go into the 60s at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 It was my suggestion but we can separate them again....I found it cumbersome to browse through 5 discrete threads many with overlapping posts Me too. That's why I ignored the banter thread when i could only check in for a few minutes. I agree there was a lot of banter in the obs thread (and obs in the banter thread). It works well in theory...

jacindc Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Sure would love a bit of nowcasting from people in the know. Was this storm so well-modeled and well forecasted that nothing has changed from what we should be expecting over the next few hours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2O Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 me too...until I realized a lot of good posts and obs were in the banter thread People are trying to do the right thing and not post nonsense so I can see why some posts were in there.

usedtobe Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 look at radar...we are about to be demolished I thought I'd have no power by now I guess I still need to last thru midnight but now I'm fantasizing that I can keep it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 me too...until I realized a lot of good posts and obs were in the banter thread Screw the current approach. We just need 2 threads. "Good posts" and "other posts." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was this storm so well-modeled and well forecasted that nothing has changed from what we should be expecting over the next few hours? I think you are starting to see what is coming. Radar shows that as the storm center makes landfall and continues W we will get these bands of mod to heavy rain and strong winds. It will last for a number of hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowfan Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Sorry if already posted and I know it's out of the area, but Mt Washington gusted to 130 mph. Sustained winds at 100 mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Cherry's Jacket Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 We've already gone to 52 at DCA. Looking at the radar, I can't imagine we won't go into the 60s at least. My recollection is the TAF at KDCA has gusts forecast at 55 or 57 at some point tomorrow AM. With the K to MPH conversion, I think you're right.

Huffwx Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Well, I've got a rain snow mix in my forecast, up to an inch. I'd be thrilled. Was heading to Lewisburg or something like that but my middle son is sick. He's better now, no fever since last night but his Mom has to work. Tempted to drive up to Wintergreen with him. Maybe in a while.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just doesn't seem all that intense yet. BGE is still do OK by me though my lights keep flickering. We'll find out whether the winds were overdone or not during the next 6 hours. If so, it will be interesting to see what kind of winds verify at 925 over our area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
