Wrong weather board. This weather makes me want another ice age.

My new favorite sky is the stunning sky you get up on the Tug in the snowbelt. As a Marylander my entire life it's like nothing I've experienced here. You get this deep blue arctic sky with this extreme contrast to black, orenge, purple, and pink where the snow bands streak across the sky. It reminded me of low top thunderstorms training across an arctic blue sky. There's also a fuzzy look from the wind carrying flakes out into the blue sky. During the evening the sunsets reminded me of something I experienced in Hawaii. It's unique and very beautiful.

This has been a crazy long drought. Is this the third winter? Last winter I had snowpack for almost a month due to no rain washing it away like usual. Same with the past two winters. We're lucky I guess that the one storm we did get was frozen. Same with the past two winters. I've never seen creeks dry up for years.

Drip drip has already started this morning. You can tell the arctic high is gone. Back to reality. My beautiful arctic blue sky is back to hazy and cloudy lol. The past two weeks were one of the most memorable winter experiences of my life.

I'm ready for the next ice age lol. Looks like the warm front is coming. Clouds are showing up after a spectacular blue bird morning.

Imo it's been our best winter since 2014-15 if it ends tomorrow. I saw a guy ride a four-wheeler across the West River on 8-10" of ice. That's incredible. We're lucky we have a snowpack during this cold. If you look at the pictures of the hippies driving cars on the bay in 77 you'll notice there's no snow otg. Just cold and dry.

Right. We can't even watch football without the government and media creating divisions. Turning point vs bad bunny. WHAT TEAM ARE YOU ON!? I'm on team freedom to do whatever you want.

I read the LR thread every morning. I couldn't even get through it this morning. You'd think were in the middle of winter 2011-12, not the coldest winter since 1977. I've had 2 solid weeks of outdoor winter fun like it's NY out there. I honestly felt sad for a few people while reading through that dumpster fire.

Getting our early for one last mud and slop free hike before our normal winter returns this week lol. It's been a fantastic winter. Three in a row in the lowlands. I just need a few inches of slop and I'll be at climo again this year. Temp 9

I was just coming to say that. I'm packing my truck to head to the Pine Barrens in SNJ for a hike and there's no wind at all right now. It was a little gusty an hour ago.

I haven't been out yet but it looks covered out there. It looks like an of snow where I had dug a patch through the pack. I got up and watched it come through. It came down real nice.

Congrats Richmond! It's been horrible there. You deserve a surprise snow. I'd take it from you in a heartbeat if I could lol

It's getting really sparkly on the street and on the pack. I can feel the pow on top of the pack. It's turning out to be quite the lovely evening.

These flakes remind of of Lake effect flakes. Perfect, beautiful, floating snowflakes. Now we just need it to ramp up to 6" per hour and stay that way all night. Sorry. Dreaming of my future home.

I saw 30 seconds of flakes!

Hopefully temps drop with it or were looking for a few sprinkles east of DC.

Hopefully the clouds get out my way soon before we blast to 40 again.

Exactly. Our forest definitely can handle a nw wind up to 60. An east wind at 60 is different. This kinda wind will clean out dead wood so that could cause a power outage. But widespread tree damage isn't happening with a nw wind during winter.

And your income lol

Super rare phenomenon this morning. I mean extremely rare. I didn't bust high by 5 degrees like normal. It actually fell 4 degrees below forecast. I honestly can't remember the last time that happened lol

As a small business owner, im out. The IRS might be watching lol

Oh hell no, and I love everyone until I don't. Katabatic and I like to chill and play in the pow. No drama at snow camp! Lol

We're wasting time on someone that is unwell. His Mental illness flag is flying. I say ignore and ban.

Ban this mental case. We don't need this bs here.

I enjoyed this storm much more than the 2016 storm that melted 2 days later. I like winter, not just snow falling. This has been epic. I absolutely love this pack. I've hiked over 40 miles on it. Clouding up and 35. Hardly a drip and no damage to the pack.
