Last weeks storm produced stronger winds here. Maybe it will pick up during the daytime. I was just going to say the same thing. Pretty lame here so far.

mattie g Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I was awoken by my daughter calling for us at around 2:00 - think she was a little worried about the dogwood rattling against the siding. Heard some gusts and went back to sleep. #excitement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mappy Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 so many complaints over a thunderstorm warning that was legit. silly weenies. winds were fierce when that line came through last night, woke me from a sound sleep. pretty blustery this morning. lots of small branches down in my area. no power issues (thankfully).

wxdude64 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Saw a 110 mph wind from Wintergreen's weatherbug site last night around midnight. Not sure how accurate the site/location is, but that is impressive none the less. Highest I recorded was 51 mph. Still steady 20-25 with gusts into upper 30's from WNW here. Temp is down to right at freezing after shattering old mark of 68 from 1999 with a 72.5.....crazy for Feb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowfan Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Well, I'm in AA Co. and I thought the wind was legit. Were people expecting a full blown hurricane to move through? I've been here over 5 years now and the only event with higher winds was the derecho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 9 hours ago, MN Transplant said: Roaring out there. I recorded 45mph which means we probably were in the low 50s. My 2nd highest gust after a synoptic system in 2014. Too many trees to get that high during summer storms, but they've mostly missed me anyway (had the anemometer at ground level during the derecho). Got a 48mph reading after midnight (along with a 45 and 47). That is my new #1 with March 2014 in 2nd and Sandy in 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87storms Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Ended up being somewhat meh here in Bethesda compared to other areas. The big winds may have been in pockets or it could be that I was in inland NC during hurricane Fran lol. It's definitely windy here but no real big gusts. Still whipping a bit tho.

All the METARs at that time and going forward are COR and LWX didn't include the number in their PNS wrapup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast NPZ Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I love chasing my patio furniture. Is there anything more useless and annoying than wind? Maybe heat, but at least you can go swimming in that. Nope, nothing more useless than wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty decent here in N. Bethesda, but nothing like Fran. I was in Chapel Hill for that, and the winds were more impressive than when I was in the eye of Hurricane Charley ('86). Definitely the most impressive wind event of my life, though the Derecho was a pretty impressive second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legit sustained winds of my guess is around 30-40mph (maybe more) at its peak where I was at...not gusts but constant wind. Lots of trees and structures down. Power outages everywhere.

das Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 The weather outside is stupid. That's my observation.
