  1. Past hour
  2. If you go onto COD nexrad and look at the satellite you can see the snow disappear as soon as the cloud deck exits eastward.
  3. It swept through the area. Everyone east of MT Airy got similar amounts although it my have accumulated more in colder spots.
  4. Getting icy-slush freezing over on my deck.
  5. I’m guessing nobody bothered to measure until it was too late and everything had already melted. It’s a huge abdication of responsibility if that’s the case. They should revise it to what the nearest site measured - if they could revise the 2009-10 totals down months after the fact, then they can do the same here the other way around.
  6. Rip! And Storm Field was a really good weatherman and personality.
  7. It was *never* going to be anywhere close to "cheap" to hedge, at any point. You're fighting not only physics, but politics and human nature. It would require not only taking a huge hit to our prosperity - but convincing all the other countries in the world to take that same hit. Good luck with that. I don't think you understand just *how* much of our prosperity is based on the foundation of fossil fuel use. It's literally been the basis for the industrial revolution. The big inflection point was 150 years ago - not 20 years ago. But if we somehow had managed to avoid that inflection point - we wouldn't have anything close to the prosperity we do today. We perhaps had a smidgen of a chance decades ago, with the advent of nuclear power. But then the clueless anti-nuke lobby, led by the likes of Ralph Nader, ensured that wasn't going to happen*. Even still that would have only gotten us so far; even with all-nuclear electricity we still would have other fossil fuel uses in transportation and industry to deal with. (*Edit: In his defense - he didn't know about MMGW back then. He might have a difference stance today if so. Nevertheless - he and others like him were responsible for the extreme over-reactive risk aversion that killed nuclear.)
  8. By by early buds. Temp down to 32 degrees already.
  9. Son of a bi... Not only did I screwed again up here in Northern MD with no snow but I got screwed with the contest too. Lol.
  10. Because it’s not a winter month down there
  11. Not really but I think it’s supposed to be funny
  12. I miss the days of sand, salt is terrible for the vehicles but more effective in treating the roads
  13. Gotta make sure they use it all to prevent those budget cuts
  14. This was around 9am this morning at 2600 feet at my cousin's house. It snowed pretty hard here but didn't stick. It was 33 here, probably 30 or 31 up there.
  15. It is a joke. There is literally no way considering I was around that area this afternoon and everything, non-pavement, was covered.
  16. DPW crapped on all the main roads with salt here. What a nasty stupid waste
  17. I had felt like i had a stroke reading this. Costalwx figured it out though, went over my head
  18. light coating so far. doubt we get much more than a quarter inch
  19. Question is how much further north this thing can trend, because we may not be done yet…
