More often than not, surface hangs longer than expected in these setups. Nothing can stop the 850mb push tho. As part of the infrastructure bill we need a seawall built from NC to Ocean City up to the 850 level. That should do it. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I stop mainly because of the name! Interesting history, actually. That town basically invented the drive thru back in 1870! “The community of Tightsqueeze got its name due to the construction of two buildings close to a road that connected Chatham and Danville during the 19th century. In 1870, W. H. Colbert built his general store close enough to the road that women could go straight from their carriages to the store without getting muddy or dusty. Soon, another merchant, Isaiah Giles, built a blacksmith-wheelwright shop directly across the road from the general store. It, too, was on the road's edge. Due to the closeness of the two buildings, buggies and wagons had to slow down as they passed between the two buildings. Thus, individuals were told to slow down for the "tight squeeze" where the two stores were located.” (from Wikipedia) 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always wondered if you jumped on Blue Ball Road off 95 in NMD and headed south, would you eventually end up on Morningwood Drive in Olney? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ephesians2 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Also, this isn't "pixie dust" despite temps in the teens. Decent flake size, has to be pretty high ratios in Lynchburg. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarlet Pimpernel Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Quite the interesting read this morning. All this talk of the NAM joining the party interspersed with Intercourse, Climax, Tightsqueeze, Blue Ball, etc. Sounds like a @ravensrule road trip to me!!! There's also a Climax in Michigan. I remember that because a friend of mine from Purdue landed a job somewhere outside Detroit, and I was helping him move. We got a good laugh passing by that while driving along I-94 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midwest cold. I love it. But within reason. I will enjoy the upcoming icebox even if we don't have a pretty white landscape to go with it. But what I appreciate about the Mid-Atlantic is that you get these brief spells of deep winter... it doesn't last foreeeevvvverrr like it does in MN or WI.

87storms Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 hoping it stays snow longer than expected for obvious reasons, but also because this has legitimate power outage potential for the northern tier. i don't feel like dealing with that.
