ravensrule Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Wind is howling now Yup and it just started to pick up and BGE has 2,700 outages already. I am sure it will be a long night of power outages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast NPZ Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Wind gust to 47 mph. A little snow was nice, but pales in comparison to seemingly every other location. At least we don't miss out on the wind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deck Pic Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I'm not sure what just happened here tonight. I turned over snow measurements to Matt and Randy and I haven't gotten a report yet. Hard with all the drifting. My guess was 8", and just saw Oakland got 9" so that seems about right. We'll see what the Canaan guy says tomorrow..But snow is pretty damn deep in places where it wasn't last night and this morning.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Some ppl on twitter are actually giving cwg a hard time for not talking about the snow.Some people are dumb. We didn't capture the heaviest band quite right but everything else was well advertised. In retrospect I'm sure some will say they saw the potential in advance but the sfc low tracked just right to have that longer enhancement just north... That's a hard feature to hone in on in advance.

Deck Pic Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I understand offices are obligated to put out wind chill warnings, but if you're dressed properly, cold and wind really isn't a big deal. I was just out walking around with Randy and it is 1 degree with gusty winds with some snow falling and some blowing snow, and it is fine out. Warm socks, hoodie, winter jacket, hat gloves. This stuff isn't that hard. People get cold because they don't dress properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still have light snow and blowing snow. I had 0.07 liquid at 9 pm, I'm gonna call it 1.0 and just be happy it is white. Two separate gusts of 48 mph.
