The skylight cover/window over the stairwell in my row house in DC was lifted off the building and disappeared into the sky that day. Pretty sure the pressure differential between inside and out during one of the gusts is what popped it free. Epic indeed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish we had more days like this Wind was cool until I got a home in the woods with 100ft tulip trees all around it. Severe storms were cool until the 2012 Derecho and I changed my mind (see above). Hail was cool until it destroyed my roof and ruined my car's sheet metal a couple years ago. Tornadoes were never cool. Snowstorms are still cool and probably always will be. For our DC row home none those things concern me except maybe hail destroying all the solar panels, idk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoda Posted Wednesday at 09:29 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 09:29 AM From this morning LWX AFD for Sunday into next week temperatures Thereafter, forecast uncertainty increases markedly, with both deterministic models and their respective ensembles showing considerable spread. This spread is illustrated well by comparing the GFS vs the Euro and Canadian. The GFS maintains one coherent trough, which progressively lifts northeastward over time, placing us on the warm side of the system on Sunday, with a strong cold frontal passage and much cooler air following for Monday. On the other hand, the Euro and Canadian break the initially positively tilted trough to our west into two pieces. The northern half of the trough rapidly progresses to our east on Sunday, causing high pressure to build to our north at the surface in its wake, and a back door cold frontal passage to occur, leading to much cooler temperatures on Sunday. The southern half of the trough is left behind as a cutoff upper low over the center of the country, which is subsequently picked up by a trailing trough. Southerly flow out ahead of that system would lead to a warming trend early next week, following cooler conditions on Sunday. To further illustrate the uncertainty, ensemble members from the GEFS, EPS, and GEPS show highs anywhere from the upper 40s to near 90 on Sunday, from around 50 to the lower 80s on Monday, and from the low 50s to mid 80s on Tuesday. Along with that, there`s also uncertainty with respect to precipitation. The current forecast calls for low-end chances for showers each day, which seems reasonable given the uncertainty. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday during heavier bursts of precip, it was a snow/graupel mix even with temps 44-45. Last evening, it was steady snow with temps around 37. Had some slush on the car this morning but nothing else (wouldn't even qualify as a T). Probably the last of the frozen precip until fall. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowenOutThere Posted Wednesday at 03:28 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 03:28 PM I’m planning on going to spruce knob WV sometime this week for astrophotography could any Mets (or anyone really) weigh in on which night would be the clearest?

Hate to say it but with the trough sitting out west and ridge pumping moisture into it, that's a classic combination of persistent high clouds in this area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fri,Sat,Sun nights look about equally trash. Friday night maybe has slightly less mid-level cloudiness? My suggestion would be to look at infrared satellite as the sun goes down each night and try to time a break in it.

Tonight seems like it may be the only day that’s still pretty clear, sadly it’s also the day where my car isn’t available though I may be able to get there anyways if it’ll be clear.

Made the journey out tonight (with an assist from a now very tired dad) and it was awesome. Would highly recommend, and there was some snow at the top as a bonus! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
