Stormpc Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Yes...clearing at my house and winds just started in earnest. Expect a quick burst, step down for a few hours, then onslaught toward dawn. Satellite looks awesome. Good luck everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebman Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Low cumulus clouds scudding FAST from the WNW. You can hear the wind high up. First small gusts beginning. Those low level cumulus are just swirling around, winds up there are STRONG!!!! Skies cleared pretty fast. It's beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am so ready to shovel some wind. I’ll be shoveling wind for the next 24 hours. My neighbors will think I’m effin nuts. I’m going to shovel so much frickin wind that I’ll be able to bottle it and sell it at Wegmans for tree fiddy a bottle!! That’s TREE fiddy now. Don’t be cheap and cough it up.

ATreglown Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 RIC is under an advisory. Any idea when the winds start here. It seems models have upped the winds, but Wakefield has not changed it's wording as of now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
