Ridge bridge incoming

I remember one of those Febs…17 or 18, cuz they both had massive warmth two years in a row, hit 80 here. Then less than 24 hrs hater after the 80 degree temp it was snowing.

Moco schools closed tomorrow for students. Staff have to report

Man big cold all the way to Florida. Snow in Naples. It’s not 1899 but this is legit stuff.

I just cleared off our deck so the dog has some nice sun to sit in once we get to the 30s. Breaking up big bricks of ice and sliding them off the snow made me think of the beast of a snow fort kids could make with this stuff.

Walked 2 miles on the inlet/Bay today. Never seen anything like it in my lifetime. Ice was about 6” thick in most places. Aberdeen Proving Ground on the right, Battery Island barely visible on the left.

Ya..a bit misleading right.

Wasn’t that-PNA responsible for destroying what was supposed to be an epic February last year? Who knows if you can trust long range modeling.

As long as it's not like CAR in 1980-81 - Dec -9, Jan -5, Feb +14. 2/81 tied the February record max twice and broke it 7 times.

The early February sun doing its thing to the snow cover over GA and SC today. https://www.meteo.psu.edu/ewall/PSUGOES_SE/loop60v.html

I don't like this look on the roof. I've seen it not end well in the past.

Maybe I've missed it, but if not I'm surprised no one has mentioned it's the 15th anniversary of GHD I.

Close enough to monitor

Tons of ice climbers out in Platte Clove today. The wind is biting and the sun still doesn't help much.

That timing is unfortunate, though...that PD weekend barrier is historically a real thing when it comes to getting a bigger big snow. Was hoping we could get something on the pattern "relax". Usually if it doesn't happen by then you gotta wait until March (ack). Hard to expect it...we could still get some smaller events though to try and finally get to average.

Welcome. I assume you scheduled your first kick in the plums session? Next one is Wednesday. There will be other sessions so don’t fret if you miss this one. We will find you.

34.9 was my high today. We are now back below freezing at 31.7. The low this morning was 10.5. We will likely beat that low tonight.

Agreed. Had a new furnace installed at the end of December. Tank was topped off just prior, in early November, at 250 gallons. We are currently just about at the half full mark. Have never used more than 100-125 gallons in a winter until this one. New windows are now on the menu, once the furnace is paid down a bit.

Kept saying that all night. Cue 'damn it feels good to be a gangster...' from Office Space

Also the PV split, SSW event gives us a good chance at a good March

I split time between Odenton, MD and Colesville, MD - both still have serious issues - especially side roads. Both counties seem to be working hard (but slowly) with big machines to widen the main roads. Sidewalks in a lot of communities are abysmal (even HOA places). I even filed a complaint with Anne Arundel County about the HOAs failure to remotely clear the sidewalks of ice a week after the storm. They switched snow removal contractors sometime between last winter and this winter - the new folks SUCK. My neighborhood in Colesville is notorious for people leaving their cars parked on the road before a snowstorm - and this led to my dead end street being a single file lane...and the county hasn't returned to widen it at all.

Take a look at set ups with decidedly +EPO/+WPO/-NAO...promise it won't be this cold, and often downright mild...we've seen some examples over the past several years.
