Planning is in full swing and at the moment looks like departure from Maryland will be around Mid-day Wednesday with arrival in northern North Carolina shores around 4am-ish via Richmond. Travel further south may be done if time and fuel [...]

Another chase today….similar area as two days ago (Northeastern Maryland).
While we chased in the same general area we were in on Tuesday, the storm set-up was much different today. We actually got into the target area nearly two hours earlier than before, but because of the line forming [...]

A summary of yesterday’s local storm chase.
A short chase/intercept with (I believe) less than 100 miles driven. The most interesting part….actually having a chaser convergence in Maryland.

Houston gets snow before DC….what???
Been watching the developing snow storm that is hitting parts of Texas, and in particular, the Houston metro area. The Weather Channel has been talking quite a bit about this storm as well as many forums (I’ve been following the discussions on Stormtrack.org and EasternUSwx.com). [...]
