Winter Storm Watch for Garrett County/WV mountains for 4-8"...prime upslope conditions there.  Good news for the ski resorts.

Upgraded to a warning earlier - now NWS Pitt is calling for 7-9" (I don't think I've ever seen a forecast for that odd range).  

I like to compare the forecasts from the other NWS offices for the ridges as well.  Looks like Sterling going for 6-10" and Charleston saying 8-12".  All in pretty good agreement for a nice upslope event.  We've been in dire need of it!

Pitt went for an Advisory in McHenry for 5-8"...I'll be there this weekend so looking forward to deep winter!

Was the 52 mph gust with the squall line earlier or are you talking about the past few minutes?

The rain showers moved through a few hours ago.  Skies cleared, the temp spiked into the low 50's and then the winds ramped up quickly about 20 minutes ago.
