Dry air is going be a yuge, YUGE problem for the western edge, gonna be hell for that light snow to try and overcome, Good thing this storm is such an epically slow mover! I expect a coating on top of the car --- of about 47 small pixie dust particles at the height of the storm, while the coast is getting milkshake frothed by 50 mph gusts and torrential snows and zero visibilities. Jeb I don't think -5 is right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went out to check the ice conditions this afternoon. Large sections of the Patapsco River have a layer ice. Even some large chunks floating into the shipping channel.

smokeybandit Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Wind really starting to kick up now. You'd think some schools (outside of the already frozen city schools) will cancel tomorrow due to the cold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast NPZ Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Fred. Co (VA) closed tomorrow. LOL. Good news for me, as we now don't have to pull the daughter out of school to leave for our trip to Canaan this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bodhi Cove Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Can totally confirm. Boats not on lifts are sitting in mud (as well as their ice eaters if the owners haven't pulled them. Never seen a blowout like this one. The National Weather Service in Wakefield has issued a Low Water Advisory, which is in effect from 3 PM this afternoon to 8 AM EST Saturday. * WATER LEVELS: Northwest or west winds will result in lower than normal water levels. Water levels should drop to 1.5 to 2 feet below Mean Lower Low Water. * WINDS: Northwest or west 20 to 30 kt with gusts 35 to 40 kt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskimo Joe Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 This cold is legit, Eskimo Joe levels. My co-worker who lives in Easton keeps bees, 4 hives each containing ~70,000 bees. He's assuming a total loss with the cold. Fire departments running around with several house fires each day...Carroll County is jackpotting the state so far.

wxdude64 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Currently 9.2/-3.1 with wind 12/G26 mph, WC -5.9 degrees. I lost power shortly after a 46 mph gust at 9:07 pm last night until 4:15 am. Thankfully I have a wood stove, feel for those without. Another T on the snow front, maybe I can stack them all up at end of year and see if they add another 0.2" to snow total?????
