Jan 25, 2000 was epic here east of DC. Extreme snowfall rates 4-5" per hour at my house. Probably even 6" rates during the peak. I got 21" that day. Forecast was for 3-5. It was Forecast to miss us, the day prior. Sorry for banter lol
I'm recording this as 1 inch for my total. That brings me up to 12" for the season. Most of that 12" was high quality, long lasting, cold smoke from Jan, so I can't complain. Most likely this is my season total. Better then the past 10 years lol
I think we all overlooked one big ingredient. Cold lol. I was wondering how this was susposed to happen with no cold air. High of 47 Yesterday and 40's today.
One of the tastiest strains in MD.
I was out hiking from 1pm-5pm. It was sunny and mild. At about 4 it clouded up fast and it started getting chilly. I was imagining how being lost out there tonight would be humbling if you didn't know the weather was coming in.
I remember listening to my weather radio on low volume so my parents wouldn't hear it, while staring out of the window at the street light watching it ripping. I agree 100%. Thank goodness for the internet. I thought I was alone and weird. I'm weird and not alone lol
This reminds me of a classic event when I was a kid (I'm 45). Go to bed with no snow and wake up with snow! That was normal kids. I wasn't surprised because I was up all night creeping around the house, looking out every window lol
Jesus Christ.. I love this place. So many weirdos. It's 6am and you freaks that been up all night are cracking me up. Let's get it! I can almost make climo tonight!
I was wondering if CAPE and I were the only people east of DC. All snow reports but just rain here. Actually looks like white rain trying to mix in as I type.
Storms like this suck in my climo lol. Watching everyone else flip to snow and reporting how heavy it is while I sit at 37 in the dry slot. Annopoils is way nicer then Westminster lol. I didn't like living up there.
I was planning on doing that hike, but the jack looks like over the Catoctins. I'm thinking about hiking the watershed area. Salamander Rock looks like the highest spot. I just want to get as high as possible and hike in the snow lol
What time looks the most insane up at the Watershed? I'm planning on being there around 9am. I want to hike up to Salamander Rock during peak storm conditions. Thundersnow up there would be epic. I'm chasing!
LR GFS has a signal for temps in the 60's for our epic pattern period. Hell.. sounds like good news. Anything but the 40's and low 50's with 2-3 inches of rain every few days.
I feel like that is a huge win. The past several years had 0 winter, outside of a couple below average days. That week in Jan was a fluke. The 2016 storm was a fluke during an otherwise warm winter as well. It's become pretty easy to have a year round growing season with a simply build greenhouse.
