WinterWxLuvr Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Euro wins. It did well, but it also had it coming up the Ches. Bay, and then it also had what post 105 in the origninal Sandy thread shows. I wish that map had come true. Kinda. That would have been a pain also.

iammrben Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Judging from radar hallucinations, it appears that the bands are pivoting somewhere between Baltimore and DC. At least, the orientation seems to be shifting in that manner. Anyone else see what I'm seeing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchnick Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 there's been a noticeable relaxation of the winds don't get me wrong, still blowing but constant winds and gust speeds are down here's hoping the worse is behind us (at least from BWI N & E) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least, the orientation seems to be shifting in that manner. Anyone else see what I'm seeing? I just mentioned this in the Obs/Banter thread. Looks like the rain line stopped near a Kingsville-Westminster line. Looking at Dover's radar, it will probably stay around there and then move back north as the storm moves inland into PA.

Sunny and Warm Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 It still did better then the GFS for 95% of the time lol It did, but the GFS hinted strongly at the extremely rare and never before documented sting jet that actually materialized over NYC this afternoon, and which has caused their catastrophic damages.

mdsnowlover Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I just saw one model giving the DC -balto corridor west some snow today, dont know if its true or not, this was on TWC so I guess take it with a grain of salt.

iammrben Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Huh, Sterling shows returns flowing into DC, but it's not precipitating here ATM and winds are fairly calm. Color me confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far no, I have to go out this morning, so I will report back, most of my area is not flush with trees, except for some woods west of me. It kinda chilled down a bit last night , but this morning I have steady rain and winds about 20-30 mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

showmethesnow Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Seeing heavy returns around DC. Looking at the the temps within that area and them being cooler then the surrounding region I wonder if that might be returns off of sleet?

Looking at the the temps within that area and them being cooler then the surrounding region I wonder if that might be returns off of sleet? I was right under the heaviest echoes. All rain. Might have been some bright banding from melting snow, but the surface layer is quite warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have been some bright banding from melting snow, but the surface layer is quite warm. It had the look of frozen on the returns was just curious if it was reaching the ground. Of course I haven't looked at the temp profiles so it may very well have just been a heavier band of rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongRanger Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Modelling overall was excellent IMO. Sandy's unusual track, extreme pressure, timing, WV snows were known roughly a week in advance. Some details failed, for example the winds were overforecasted in MD, and the heavy rains cut off sooner, but the gist was correct with plenty of advance notice. Well done!

Superstorm Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I work in Perryville, MD and our location is still without power. In North East, MD along route 40 we have trees and power lines snapped at the top. Just shows how strong winds were here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TradeWinds Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Modelling overall was excellent IMO. Sandy's unusual track, extreme pressure, timing, WV snows were known roughly a week in advance. Some details failed, for example the winds were overforecasted in MD, and the heavy rains cut off sooner, but the gist was correct with plenty of advance notice. Well done! Agree overall. I think the winds were overforecast in the eastern part. In Frederick, we were always in the 35-45 sustained with gusts up to 60. That panned out near perfectly especially with the gusts. Many local sites recorded 55-65 as their peak gust. My roof concurs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
