SOMDweather

Roads were just wet in St. Mary's county this morning. Was dark when I came in but did notice trees coated in ice.

Models look to be trending more favorable for SOMD for the Superbowl event. I think we'd all be happy with a 6"+ cold powder event. Hope you guys on the lower Eastern Shore get in on it too. Will be interesting to see where the mix line sets up with this one.

Schools were originally 2 hr delay at 5am and I feel that was a good decision. After driving to base and seeing the road conditions, I was shocked to hear they changed to close.

I agree. Go big or lets move on to spring!

That's about what we got here in Hollywood. Maybe 3/4 of a dusting lol. It was enough for St. Mary's to close schools. 235 and secondary roads were just wet around 6:30. Neighborhood street partially covered.

LWX still going with 2-4 for Calvert and St. Mary's. I'd be pretty happy with that all things considered with this storm.

I feel a bust coming. WSW that will almost surely be changed to an advisory tomorrow for 1-2. Hope I'm wrong though. As has been discussed at great length, Miller B's almost always screw us. Only thing we have in our favor is how close we will be to the wrap around being on the west side of the bay. All depends on how far south and how close to the coast the coastal forms.

Sure. More the merrier. Us folk near the bay(western and eastern shore) seem to experience much different weather than near DC and its always fun do to discuss what we are seeing. Would be cool to get more posters down here.

Looks like LWX is expecting us to get clipped with the coastal.

Can't figure out where St. Mary's stands with the upcoming storm. Are we too far south for the clipper and coastal to get us? Models indicating we are very close to the western edge with the coastal in getting in on some accumulation.

Thanks for your effort to get this sub-forum going. Feel like we have a different climate down here in the winter where we usually miss out on clippers or are too warm for snow. As for tomorrow's system, I'm liking the trends!
