mattie g Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Had some sprinkles earlier. Now it's really f'ing windy, and I'm reporting my first flicker obs. Yay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 47mph, my new record high. Hit 46mph during Sandy and didn't have power to record the gusts during the Derecho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 My lattice privacy wall by my patio is now history. Another thing added to my to do list. This is a pretty good wind event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nj2va Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Its a good thing leaves aren't on trees yet..I would imagine there'd be trees coming down in these gusts. ~50 mph out there right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scraff Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Driving up the BW Pkwy--bad call. Branches and limbs flying everywhere. That Includes into the wife's minivan. Thank god it was her car! ;-) Nice power flash off to the Northeast too. Someone towards Bmore is powerless... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Random Chaos Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Flicking a bit down here near Annapolis. Winds nothing like I got during either Nor'easters or Sandy/prior tropical storms, though - silly protected people well away from the coast!

09-10 analogy Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Someday I'd like to experience winds like this with snowfall rates of 2"/hr. Or combine tonight's winds with the rates from one month ago (I think it was, too lazy to look up). I suppose the second storm in Feb 10 is about as close as we'll ever get to that around here.
