showmethesnow Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Normally under perform here in Hanover PA when it comes to winds. All guesstimates but right now we have probably seen gusts reach into the low to mid 30s with somewhat sustained wings in the mid teens. Also have had light snow move in in the last 15-20 minutes.

WeSuck Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Still without power here in Leesburg. Been without since 1:30 am. Wind is epic. Have not seen wind like this since Isabel 2003 in Norfolk, VA.

WeSuck Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Snow is close by just to the north. This should be interesting in this wind when it moves in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmlwx Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 The public safety radio traffic is extremely busy. Sounds like Montgomery County police are no longer responding to residential burglary alarms unless they are PANIC alarms (lots of false alarms) - this is pretty much SOP in high wind events. Believe I either heard a tree fall just now or a transformer blow somewhere nearby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
