stormtracker Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 I might go. I'll need a name tag because I'm pretty sure no one will know who I am. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should have seen one after that thing lasted longer than four hours. Still hasn't gone down since I landed at Dulles the night before the blizzard. Doctor didn't want anything to do with it.

I'll never forget what I went through to convince people that I needed to change my flight home. What a weeks leading up to it, and what a GD storm! i really wish I could be there tomorrow.

Kmlwx Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 I'm planning to get there around 3pm. Hoping to stay for a while but I might miss the folks that don't turn up until later on. Hoping to see as many as possible, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Shaw Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 I am sorry about this but I don't think I will make it to Gordon Biersch on Saturday. I wanted to RSVP and let you know. I might show up briefly, but doubtful and don't really count on me. So sorry about this. You all have a great time! Kevin Shaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTRWx Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 I just spoke to someone regarding parking for those wondering, garages A, B, and C along Maryland Avenue after passing by the restaurant. Map quest takes you around the block first, so stay on Maryland Avenue. lol Looking forward to this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are busy doing the touristy thing. I may end up showing up with a non weather nerd friend. The garlic fries are enticing.

jnis Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 It was a pleasure meeting everyone and putting some faces to the screen names. I really enjoyed the conversation and sharing weather stories. The garlic fries were awesome I hit some intense rain as I headed north on 270 and observed some flash flooding between Germantown and Damascus - an exciting way to conclude a weather enthusiast gathering! Thanks to Matt for making the arrangements! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deck Pic Posted July 30, 2016 Author Share Posted July 30, 2016 Thanks for coming everyone! It was great to meet you all. We have a really good group in this forum. And events like this just confirm it. We'll do another next summer. And maybe even an interim impromptu model/snow watching party this winter. Special shout-out to Always in Zugzwang for getting the ball rolling, and Wxdude64 and Demeter for each traveling over 2 hours to get there.

wxdude64 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Just home (made a few stops on way back) Heck of a rainstorm around the Gainesville area on way back home. Awesome meeting all and placing a face to the name and sharing weather stories. Looking forward to next one already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozz Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 I had a great time, both with seeing many of you again and meeting some of you for the first time. It was a great pleasure and I hope we do something like this again. For a weather gathering, the irony wasn't lost on the fact that I drove through pouring rain both ways. I went through a brief downpour on the way there, but on my way back it was absolutely insane, especially from Columbia northward, right into the Ellicott City downpours. I've never driven through anything that was both so heavy and persistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Shaw Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Sorry I missed the function on Saturday. Hopefully there will be another one that I will be able to attend.

Demeter Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Definitely a fun time! What's better than getting with others who have the same crazy weather obsession? Wish I would have been able to make it sooner to enjoy more conversation...but looking forward to next time. The people in this group are awesome! Thanks again Matt!

Amped Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Great to see everyone again and meet some new people. Still cannot believe a suprise historic flood occurred just after the event. Hope everyone in Ellicott city is okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And thanks to you, Matt, for taking the initiative to get things organized. Agreed, we have quite a good group in the MA forum. It was a great time, enjoyed meeting and talking to many other weather enthusiasts! I don't think I've seen such a high concentration of snow-lovers in one place before! A good crowd, and was nice to have some people come from quite a ways just for the event. Thanks to everyone who was able to make it, despite the heavy showers right when a lot of people were heading out. Yes, a model/snow watching party might be fun in the winter. I can envision it now: a bunch of snow geeks at a bar somewhere, commandeering the use of one of the big-screen TVs. We'd turn off whatever big game is on that weekend, switching it to a live view the radar loop and images of the latest Euro model. We might just get thrown out of the place. Especially if we showed the 84 hour NAM up there, hahaha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
