jayyy Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Reports from the general area I’m in (Pittsfield) 18” was the official report 2-3 hours ago. Now at 19.5. As expected, the elevations east of here are reporting 24-30”+. My good friend (technically my ex ) lives at 1800ft in S Vermont and is approaching 40” 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weather Will Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Just left DC. Walked to the train station. Full sun, but with the gusty winds it was cold with my winter coat on, impressive for this time of year and one of the coldest days downtown this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just barely broke freezing here, 32.5 for a high with flurries whipping by in the breeze all day. Never any accumulation today, but did pick up a penny (0.1) with 7 am observation this morning. Winds have been gusty all day, 30-35 mph, did have a 39 mph gust right at 2 pm. Currently 30.1/19.0. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the dog ran the last block home with these damn winds. Of course, I stupidly went out in shorts, not realizing that the temp had tumbled into the mid 30s since sundown. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started out with UniFi video server using my own hardware (Dell dual Xeon box running Ubuntu server 12 at the time). Loved the "roll your own" ability as one could start with a simple pc running linux or Windows and scale up to whatever they needed, etc. Then Protect came out, loved its interface and ability to scrub through a time line in real time on mobile. But Protect wasn't BYO and required Ubiquiti hardware either a Cloud Key+ gen 2 or their dream machine pro device which had limited hardware. Later they released a multi drive NVR which is what I currently run. Cameras are expensive compared to others but require no NVR license fees or subscriptions. And of course the recordings are on premise. I run all home runs back to the rack in the basement with direct burial rated CAT6A 23awg pure copper conductor shielded ethernet. Some call it overkill but being that I've had lightning peel the bark off a southern pine less than 20 feet from my shop building and the cameras never even missed a frame says something! I do like the smart capabilities of the G4 line and upcoming G5 line too. The Ai bullet can record license plates if that capability is needed. Recently on G4 and up they've added smoke/CO alerts so if the mic picks up the telltale sound of a smoke or CO alarm it can send a push notification which is nice as the fire alarm in my shop is local only and sometimes when I charge flooded tractor batteries and a cell or two goes crazy and sets the alarm off I get it on my phone which is nice. My PTZ is an Amcrest 4MP 12X optical 25X hybrid zoom. I have it set up to record to folder on my QNAP 8 bay NAS with a 7 day rollover. I use it mainly to watch weather systems roll in, check for hotspots at our bonfire and pits and it has caught Amazon drivers cutting through the grass countless times too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WEATHER53 Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 35mph gusts for 12 consecutive hours this is close but that one about 5-7 years ago in early March was incredible. With DCA gusting 40+ for 28 consecutive hours and IAD for 36 hours consecutive A huge debris pile in Laurel caugh fire and with wind was out of control and I think 95 south was closed for couple hours we don’t do Winter so good but we do Wind. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like March 02, 2018. High wind warning verified for sure! We had frequent gusts over 60 here and a ton of tree damage and power outages with wires down all over the place. Messiest for utility workers since Irene in 2011. This event is more of a breezy event for us. Too bad it isn't snowing! With humidity under 30% things are getting dry that's for sure. Wouldn't advise anyone doing outside burning just on wind alone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
