7 inches on the nose here in Waterford! We did very well with the banding

i couldn't see it; i went out during one of the dry slots and that was it. went to bed watching the revolutionary war series, turn. kinda slow, though jamie bell is a fine actor. woke up to do my morning walk and was surprised to see i had to dig out first. and it is still snowing lightly. gonna get some photos with the christmas decorations still up, though we had to ditch the inflatables with all the wind this year; that stuff just isn't good for these parts. i do remember telling my wife that damn snow plow keeps passing by and waking me up, what gives? then i went back to sleep.

It's still flurrying outside. And cold..

You're not wrong, that does hurt as it cuts off CPF into Canada. However, with enough cold in Canada with the other features in place at 500mb you can still score . Blocking is how you overcome not great features on the Pacific side. Ultimately those features usually erode or shift away if Blocking overwhelms.

Got to think one of these times these icing events will pan out; this makes sense

Through several weather boards.

Whenever the next legitimate snow threat happens is going to cause major issues because your average person will say “Oh that last storm was nothing” “the weather professionals were all wrong!” Is going to be out and about.

Maybe the ground isn't frozen yet

Not after the gfs and Canadian runs at 12z

Was flurrying cleaning off the car.

Still having some light mood flakes, it’s nice .

Light snow/flurries continue to fall with a final of 3.2". Piles look as large if not larger than 12/13 storm when I had 7" though...11.4" for the season, 1st double digit December in at least 6/7 years I think...

I should add that yesterday's calendar day 4.3" ends our streak of not having a 4" daily total at 12. Now we begin a new streak.

Let's not forget, they measure and clear the board each time measurement is made, with how they had sleet and freezing rain, compaction was legit so if the got 4 it would likely not show 4 if any Joe smo stuck a ruler in the snow. I maybe wrong but that's what my guess would be.

Blackwater. So not THAT local, but there’s one living in Ellicott City that I’ve seen several times but haven’t had my camera with me. i shot the one above with a 300 mm Nikon lens. @Ian taught me on here to invest in good glass! His photos are amazing.

It didn’t look like that with nearly all model runs even yesterday!

Februarys were a blowtorch, however. Very curious. Will be interesting to see if a similar theme plays out in 2026.

I've known you for almost 20 years now

I cry on the inside when people post calls for its summary execution. It's still usually deadly within 24 hours, although I'll admit it doesn't seem as good as it used to be and there have been one or two spectacular fails in recent times.

Wow, this is interesting how cold the ensuing Januarys were following the warmest Decembers. Some are forecasting a cold January this year as well.

Just keep the rain cold enough so the pack stays here. Y’all up there should get some good icing

HRRR likes ice BDL

Melted down to .81 and I have 6" at my stake, trying to make sense of that since it was 5.4" on the board.

Finished with 9 inches, 18 for the season. It was a good storm up here. Anywhere between 8 and 10.5 according to reports.

This is an important question since the nature of the rest of the winter depends on the answer.
