The March 5-7 White Lion Obs/Nowcasting Thread

Wind has been ripping non-stop here in Dover, DE since about midnight last night, and gusts have been steadily getting stronger it seems as the day goes on.  Just watching a warehouse/office building across the street from my office, they put on a new white rubber "rolled" roof on the building last summer, and the north end of the building must have come unglued as the wind has been blowing it up off the roof all day.  Picture a very large, very heavy, white sheet being "waved" every 15 - 30 seconds.  The only difference being everytime a "wave" comes by it picks up air conditioning units about 2 feet off the roof and slams them back down.  Its insane, i've never seen anything like it in my life.  Its probably about 100,000 sq. foot building so I would imagine if that roof decides to rip loose its going to take almost the entire parking lot of cars below it.  I'll see if i can get a pic of it.

 

pics and vid please!

We have 11.5" here at the airport in Winchester...getting consistent 15-16" reports out of Front Royal..some parts of our stations' listening areas have up to 18".... Here is a great gallery of listener submitted pictures from up and down the Shenandoah Valley.

the underlying model for the SREF Is one of the worst weather models imaginable....SREFS arent very good

 

Something is just flat-out wrong with those SREF "plumes," and I never bother looking at them, personally. They're drastically overdone in almost every event I've followed in every part of the country, even when the NAM itself isn't. I suspect there must be something in the algorithm they use that either overestimates ratios or is too generous with precip type for marginal soundings.
