The tightness of the isobars on that map says that the highest winds are in northern West Virginia, across the Maryland panhandle, western Pennsylvania and up into the eastern Great Lakes.

Just checking in from Western PA (about 400 miles from the Jersey shore). Air pressure is down to 28.4 inches (950 kPA) and we are having gusting winds (25mph) out of the NNW and heavy rain. I only have an estimate of the total. Technology likes to fail at the most inopportune times.

The reed relay failed in the Davis weather station and then the garden weather station monitor crashed and had to be reset. At the time we had accumulated 2.1 inches of rain. The total is about 3.0 at this point and was increasing throughout the day. Current temperatures here are 41 degrees F. Power has only flickered once.

Rainfall rates and wind gust are continuing to increase. The storm effects began late Sunday morning.

Not getting much reporting out of upland w. PA and WV. Any insights? I’m worried about some friends in the WV Appalachians with the snow.
