Hopefully next year will be a disaster, worst pattern ever, la Nina, blah blah blah.. than we'll most likely have a great winter. It's always the opposite of what humans expect. Soon as I hear we're in for a great winter I begin to worry lol

Since winter is dead, we might as well move on. I was day dreaming the other day about spring evenings with rumbling thunder, fireflies and outdoor cannabis plants. I'm a fan of general thunderstorms. I love a good late night summer thunderstorm, especially when down at the beach.

Remember it like yesterday. I was expecting anything. I was out drinking under age at a buddies house. Drive home (I know, not good). When I got out of my car at midnight and looked up. The moon was gone and the wind had picked up in a weird way. I went inside and looked at the local on the 8's. The radar came on and I almost fell over. Their was a monster wall of snow right on my doorstep and racing nw. It went from a few flakes to an inch per hour within 15 minutes of starting. It was wild. I was only 3 months old for the blizzard of 79. My mom said I stared out the window for two days straight. I was born loving nature and all things weather related.

Is this the one where it was almost 70 degrees the next day? Typical lol. Jan 25, 2000 was my 1979 storm. It happened during the day.

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'm just east of DC. I still can't believe we had a week of winter here. That's super rare these days.

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.

Total bust here. White rain, nothing on the ground and back edge moving in fast. Off to bed.

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.

Rug pull here east of DC. I can't complain to much because I jacked twice already this winter. I'll take my white rain and enjoy.

Anyone want to meet up at 3am? I'll roll a couple joints and we'll hang out under a street light and get lit.

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

High clouds are already flowing in from the west. Hopefully that caps the temperatures a little bit. Maybe it helps keep the ground colder as well.

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!

And suddenly 50 mph wind gust. We do wind well. We also excel at mostly cloudy and 45 degrees.

Yes. Do it. Leaves LR open for LR.

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.

Pouring rain has returned. 36 degrees.

That should last a good 45 minutes lol.

37 with nothing falling. Can't wait for the pivot so my heavy rain returns.

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!
