I have this map set to display wind speed at 3,000 meters.
Just pinned this to my weather folder. As the AD and Track coach, I really like the features of this site. Thanks
I often have found myself when I was not looking, nor did that discovery take place where I thought it would!

Hey, yinz can have all the winter you want, just leave me out of it. Your maps and charts look pretty cold and snowy for east of Pittsburgh.

FWIW, it's always Doug's fault. Earlier this week he caused another section of Hwy 1 to collapse near Rat Creek.

Some locations in the central Appalachians can expect rounds of snow from late Saturday night to Monday night, and a round of lake-effect snow will follow, prolonging the wintry weather into Tuesday.
Do you see that dark blue bubble? I hope yer a happy prophesizer. Tom said it best... it's always Doug's fault!

Well, besides the insufferable whining sound coming from WV, this thread has been useful to see Alan's weather link. Bookmarked it.

Shit, I thought WV was for whimpering vagina when he first posted up about an inch of snow on his driveway that was going to melt by Friday.

So I'm guessing the WV border is closed for Abercrombie...... is it a time out or is that permanent?

I'm hoping both you and my "friend from Fargo" (what the local weatherman calls all Dakotans) show up to help clear the driveway tomorrow evening so spkldoe can get back in as I'm betting she gets called into work in the morning.
