Mine is 21 and I still struggle with that.

Lol I was going to make a similar post but tried to stay positive for bunchos sake. Lots of posts for some gentle showers

They fly up 20ft and it’s 20F warmer

True but early January was touchy for many of us. I didn't get below freezing until the middle of the month where as Jan 2025 was brutal until the last week. I guess it all evened out.

We definitely longtracked up to 0.5” of rain.

Birds chirping like crazy here this AM in the fake cold.

Oh and BTW, thanks @SnowenOutThere for starting this thread!! Really cool, and some amazing shots in here including yours. Photography is a serious hobby and big interest of mine, I'm curious what camera/lenses you use. The lunar eclipse is actually a bit tricky to get in a way...you need a long enough shutter because it's so much dimmer, and you also have to crank up the ISO a bit. But at least it's not fleeting so one has time to take several shots at various settings and hope a couple or so come out well! I ended up doing some noise reduction in post as well as boosting the red color a bit. Had to crop it too, though I did use a long telephoto for my shot. More recent cameras have gotten better about noise control at higher ISOs, until you get up to the really extreme values (which I have only used on very rare occasion).

Is that up in the Watershed? I biked Skink to Salamander trail once. Skink was a hike a bike for me…gnarly rock garden.

I gotta admire the HRRR absolutely insisting that we are going to pop into the mid-50s today in the face of every other piece of guidance keeping us locked into the low 40s. Going down with the ship is stupid, but honorable.

We will have one last window the 2nd week of March.

Another sub 20" season seems to be coming for Northern MD. 5 years in a row now for MBY. Worst stretch since records have been kept at hgr. (1899). Truly pathetic. I'll have to double check but my average the last 5 years has been 12" i believe. About 40% of climo.

Last window still looking like the 2nd week of March

I'm easy to please. If I can get in a couple mile walk under some mood flakes, it gets chalked up as a win in my book. Yesterday was the first day that my pack took a hard hit. I lost more snow yesterday than all the other days combined since the storm.

Yesterday low of 24, high of 59. This morning low of 40. Looking at the extended forecast, No more 20's for a bit.

Last window will be approx 2nd week of March. Have to get CPK to average snowfall at that point hopefully.

When they’re on an island this close in, they’re likely wrong.

Speaking of twitter…I was thinking how it’s been a tough winter for Fish to troll ACATT, but it’s nice to see him still trying

Well +EPO is usually above. If the vortex over Alaska verifies, we will likely go warmer if not that day then the next few days. Here's the 6z GEFS

Barely per attached, but the 348hrs and 360hrs are both slightly below per Pivotal.

I’ve enjoyed his winter playoff beard this season, but hopeully he plans on shaving it with the first 60° day.

The trend is toward higher amounts of pure water in the Sierra Sun night thru Thursday. More communities are expected to receive the snow equivalent of ten inches of pure water with about 12 to 1 snow to water ratios, but those ratios could be 14 to 1. Though its true that high winds will knock the accums down some, that's still a fairly Brobdingnagian amount of snow. The specter of eight feet of snow from this is looming for many more Sierran communities. It's going to be a fun storm to watch on webcam, especially during the day. Not so much if you happen to be a tourista caught out in this in a car in high winds and milkshake-like froth visibilities, in single digit cold with wind chills down to negative 40 degrees at times and crazy snow rates.
