It’s interesting, but I’m not down with truly damaging potential. A lot changed when 1) I bought a home and 2) had kids. If they were older...meh. But I’ve got little ones, man. Gotta look after them! 6 minutes ago, Stormpc said: Mattie must be brewing and sampling tonight. I wish, Stormpc. I really, really wish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subtropics Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 My adrenaline is through the roof right now. The typical naysayers are actually on board which is incredible. This is a legit tropical storm, and has the potential to be one of this areas great events. Even gusts into the 70s verify for hours this will be one we remember. My hourly has 40 mph sustained for hours, absolutely unreal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nj2va Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Just got to Deep Creek. Rain transitioned to snow as soon as we got off 68. Winds starting gusting pretty good as soon as we crossed into Garrett County. Currently 33 with snow. Forecast is 2-4” overnight and 1-3” tomorrow.

gymengineer Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 So, given the array of agencies closely watching the event, I don’t think school systems will be making individual decisions in isolation. This is starting to seem like one of those areawide events. If the 55-60 mph gusts are verifying around sunrise, I would guess there will be more than school closings.

Unless you are a very sound sleeper, I can't imagine you could sleep through it. The winds should howl a bit before a serious gust comes through. But then again, a light breeze wakes me up!

At 10:00 PM EST, winds are rapidly increasing in the Potomac Highlands, with reports of a 59 MPH wind gust in Petersburg, WV, 48 MPH wind gust in Harrisonburg, VA, and a 60 MPH wind gust in Monterey, VA. High winds will continue to progress eastward towards the major metropolitan areas of Baltimore and Washington overnight. By daybreak, winds across the region will be from the northwest sustained at 30-40 MPH, with gusts 60-70 MPH. Isolated wind gusts could reach 80 mph, particularly at higher elevations west of the Interstate 95 corridor. The greatest winds will occur between 6:00 AM EST and Noon EST Friday; however, winds will continue to gust from 55-65 MPH in the afternoon and continue through Friday night. This will be a prolonged, high-impact windstorm for the region, with many downed trees and power lines expected. In addition to the magnitude of the high wind gusts, the duration of the winds will add to the hazardous nature of this event, as winds will continue through the weekend before diminishing below 30 mph Sunday afternoon. This will hamper the repair of power lines and tree removal. Widespread power outages are expected. Travel will be difficult, especially for high profile vehicles. Pedestrians will face very hazardous conditions, and need to be aware of wind-borne projectiles. People should avoid being outside in forested areas and around trees and branches. If possible, remain in the lower levels of your homes during the windstorm, and avoid windows. If you use a portable generator, follow manufacturer's instructions and do not use inside homes, garages, or apartments. A High Wind Warning is in effect starting late this evening and continuing through 6:00 AM EST Saturday. This includes the greater metropolitan areas of Baltimore and Washington DC. A low pressure system located this evening over western Pennsylvania will deepen overnight and move to a position south of Cape Cod on Friday morning.

And a yard full of very large oaks! But hey, house still standing after Isabel. And that was a very bad storm around here. Lots of trees fell, my house had some sort of force around it that dropped all the trees away from the house. But sadly, the beautiful canopy of trees that lined our country road was changed forever.
