Kay Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I got in on the 2" and it really is blowing around. Can stay in shed and shelter and watch it sift and even do some dust devils. Yes, I was watching dervish-y things too. Man, it was snowing harder than I've seen in a long time earlier. There was so much snow falling it was casting these heavy, rippling shadows on the ground...just awesome. 12/3 Edit: 45 mph gust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast NPZ Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Video I took as the front / squall line came through.

dailylurker Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I almost can't see the neighbor's house across the street right now.Unbelievable out there. There's snow blowing across the ground in the deep woods. I haven't seen that in many years. Really amazing storm tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WEATHER53 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Lot of bang for a 2" buck but the ground blowing snow really is special. Going out again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87storms Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 definitely not quite as windy here as i thought it would be, at least up to this point, which is fine because i'm not all that interested in losing power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's coming in sets. Just like big surf. They hit in sets of 3-4, just like surf. The sets seem to be getting closer together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sets seem to be getting closer together. Same here. It'll be calm for 5-10 minutes, then erupt in a fury for 90 seconds, then return calm again.

Jebman Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 My power is out Hope it gets restored soon. I was pretty dead on about the core of strongest winds over MD. Usually I bellyache about MD getting more snow than mby, and MD should, it has better climo but in this case I am glad we only have 35 mph peak gusts. Man I really hope your power gets restored as soon as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maryland is Ground Zero for severe winds tonight. You'll need a generator, lots of blankets. We got off easy here in VA not only in terms of only getting a dusting with only a few slick spots, but also in terms of lighter winds. Our peak gust has only been 35 mph and most gusts are in the 20s. No fallen trees here :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amorris525 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 My friend just witnessed a traffic light fall over and on to the car in front of him. He says the light is now lodged in that car. Apparently no injuries. This was in North Bethesda at the light at Old Georgetown and Tuckerman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StudentOfClimatology Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Heavy winds now. The sporadic gusts that dominated the night have morphed into a constant barrage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arlwx Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Power back on in south Arlington VA. Older houses= overhead wires. They brined The Hill Of Doom, but looking at the street and DCA obs it appears that whatever fell flash-froze onto the road. Let's see if the 4x4s can climb the hill in the morning.

Jebman Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 North of here is getting into some serious serious gusts lmao, but we stay in the 20s and 30s, I'm just charmed I guess. Power outages in this kind of cold is just NO fun at all, I feel real real sorry for Maryland, i really do. We were forecasted to drop to 4 degrees. I am still 14 degrees, we are going to luck out there as well, probably hit 10 for a low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDM Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Lost power about 20 mins ago. Just came in from starting the generator and switching our panel over. It's a bit nippy, that's for sure, and dark to. Not a good night to be w/o power. There are so many power outages our's does not even show up on the DOM interactive map yet, but the entire neighborhood is out. Over 50k customers in VA w/o pwr. TG for all those linemen out doing the needy under these conditions. Same for the other first responders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokeybandit Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 We lost power for about a half hour around midnight. I'm glad as I really wouldn't have wanted to go get the generator going for a space heater Edit: Hmm, maybe it was twice we lost power or we lost it for 2 hours the first time.

nw baltimore wx Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Back on Not sure how long it was out. Glad to hear that. I assume you have something other than electric heat. A blustery 6 here, and we had somewhere between 1 - 2 inches of snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Looks like a lot of others in my development are w/o power according to BGE's map. I guess MBY got lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
