I’m always amazed at the ability by people here to remember random azz events. I’m happy if I can remember where I put my iPhone down I did from 1965-2011. We had it on display at one of the conferences. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely thunder. We had a severe thunderstorm watch that afternoon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormfly Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 11/11/95 event - remember it well! Warnings up, red screen banner on TWC. I remember seeing flashes to the west and at the same time faint white bands on the TV. Wasn't sure if it was lightning or power line flashes. It came like a derecho. Bright green flashes overhead. I was in Towson and it reminded me of that CNN video with Bernard Shaw reporting from Baghdad when the first operatives of Desert Storm initiated! (due to the phosphor green night vision lens) Our power went out big time and we had a few 70mph gusts. It was like a severe thunderstorm in the summer but the temps dropped from near 70 through the 40s. Then the sleet started, changing to snow. Could not believe the roads caved so fast. My wife and I remember this well, she does because I left the toilet seat up and she used the bathroom and fell in the bowl! Of course she would remember that! EDIT: If that wind model verifies (they rarely do) and we have 60+ gust or two between 2200 and 0000 here and my front door weatherstripping howls (sounds like a cow playing a kazoo!) I'll upload security cam footage to my youtube channel! And those snow rollers, TBH I would have thought those were bales of hay that were shellacked with snow! That's really cooi! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nj2va Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Up to 40 at deep creek with mod/heavy rain on radar. I’m under a high wind warning at my parents place in ocean county, NJ for 60 mph wind gusts. Wild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 It’s kind of amusing that this thread has become a walk down memory lane rather than discussion of the incredibly exciting Christmas Eve rain and frontal passage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUsedToHateCold Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 I’ve pretty much punted on accumulations at this point after 2 inches of rain, but some snow falling tomorrow morning would be nice. GFS still shows it ending as snow around 7AM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southmdwatcher Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 It is 56 degrees here with breaks in the cloud cover, models had us in the 40's for a few more hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowmagnet Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 It’s raining much earlier than I had expected based on what I read yesterday. I can only imagine that doesn’t bode well to get a changeover to snow. I guess the best we can hope for is snow showers on Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt the start time of rain will have much impact on the change to snow. We want the low to develop further east on the front or luck out from the upper level energy tomorrow.

poolz1 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 HRRR shows a better quick flip to snow in the NW zones but really shows to potential and convective nature of the late afternoon snow showers just south of DC and east.

Couple frames later ... looses some punch but still there . I prefer your style of looking for positives vs those who like to "keep it real" and "look for what could go wrong" and want to tell us why we shouldn't expect anything. Nothing wrong with a positive attitude, nobody is going to die if you're wrong...we love snow...right?!?! 3 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
