Every single damn Friday afternoon/evening, with the screaming NW winds . . . every one! What is it with this pattern?

*Glances at NWS Blacksburg extended forecast...*

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 315 AM EST Monday...

As strong cold front will bring dry conditions for the end of
the week...

A strong cold front will arrive Friday morning, bringing a
surge of dry, chilly Canadian air to the Mid-Atlantic region.
Will be concerned with breezy northwest winds, potentially
gusting to 45 mph along the ridgetops by early that afternoon.

And again

.SYNOPSIS...
A strong low pressure system will move northeast through the
Upper Midwest and Ohio Valley tonight, then across the Great
Lakes and into New England Friday. A cold front trailing south
from the low will reach the Appalachians overnight into Friday
morning. Moderate to heavy rain showers will accompany the
front in addition to a few thunderstorms. Winds will become
gusty with the passage of the front Friday. Colder temperatures
will arrive Friday. The weekend is looking dry with temperatures
cooling to near normal. Warm weather returns again for next
week.

He has a good point....

Set two records for the date, the 1.68 inches breaks 2003's 1.18 rainfall mark, the 45.8 degree low breaks 2012's 43.8 'warm minimum' degree reading. Temps were stuck right at 50 almost all day and night with rain (heavy overnight). The 'high' of 52.5 happened right at the 7 am reading, already down to 48.9 at 10:30 and getting windy.

29 with light snow falling.  Coating achieved.  At least the cold temps tonight will help Wisp make snow to improve the base.

It was 62 when I left the house this morning in EC, dropped to 50 around Frederick when I went through the front. 40 at Cumberland, 29 and light snow when I got off 68! An interesting drive weather wise, 33 degrees in 2.5hrs!
