I was up in Emmitsburg and Thurmont earlier to get my son around 9-10pm and it was snowing pretty good for sure. I will say... rates and accumulation were notably better closer to where 15 meets 70 (Frederick) than it was at mount Saint Mary’s. 

Huh, usually it is the other way around. We definitely had some nice rates right around 10pm here.   

Just woke up and measured a nice 4 inches outside in Frederick.  I'll take it

The upside on this could be... really substantial for basically the whole forum. I know it never pans out but here's the 1 in 10 chance map..

 

I appreciate the optimism but probabilities work both ways

Hadn't seen this posted yet in this thread.  Apologies if I missed it and this is a duplicate.

RIP to Christopher Plummer. Absolute legend, all the way to the end. He was fantastic in Knives Out just last year. 

I was in Saltzburg, Austria a few years back and the people there still tell stories about him from when they filmed The Sound of Music.  He would be singing in the hotels with locals after a full day of shooting.

LOVE LOVE LOVE Hootch & Banter!

It's so good but so filling. I'll be placing my order for Sunday this afternoon.  Snow will not stop me from getting fat!

Do you ship to TX? Asking for a me

  It's from a delightful restaurant in downtown Frederick called Hootch & Banter.  I'm sure something can be arranged

It won’t work. I did the cup of just tap water at -22 and it didn’t work.

Well that sucks.  Maybe the frozen bubble thing then

Getting downtown DC below zero is probably like a 6 sigma event now. Double digits below zero?? Like 8 or 9 sigma??

I've lived in Frederick for 11 years now and the coldest I can recall is -5 or -6.  -15 would just be insanely cold. However I would definitely try that boiling water to snow trick!

Ok, now I'm torn.  A big storm means that I might not be able to get this for the Super Bowl

Long live the Frederick snow hole 

I don't have nearly as much time to spend going on photography trips as I want, so I find myself shooting around the yard.  I'm sure many have been the same way over the last 10 months or so due to covid.  I'll update with some other photos, but here are a few that I took yesterday of the birds at the feeder in the snow.  Missed my focus point on the White-Throated Sparrow (tree branch in perfect focus ) but I still like how it came out.

Share away!

only because you asked

Seemed appropriate.

Damn I forgot to get it!  I always get Accumulation and Snow Day for any storms.  That'll be fixed tomorrow.

Coincidentally, I'm drinking a Troegs Cranberry Blood Orange Tart.

Cheers, all!

The Troegs Nugget Nector is out and it is glorious.

R&C here. On ice. I’m mixing

My wife went back to work 4-5 days a week starting today, leaving me home for virtual learning with two kids while I try to do my own full time job.  It's a whisky on the rocks kind of night.

Mammoth does live up to its name. Whenever there's an AR snow blitz in the Sierras, Mammoth always seems to be near or top of the list. 

I can't imagine seeing that kind of accumulation in person.  Must be absolutely wild

We live in the wrong part of the country

I don't care much about amounts. I just want to be able to get out and enjoy it without having to worry about a rain soaked sloppy mess. I am rooting for the coldest solution.

Same.  If the kids can get out and play in it that's all that matters to me. I don't need much on the ground, just a few inches will do

Days like this I am SOOO grateful that I am not a forecast meteorologist in any way at all.  

I know I was away from this place for a long time, but when did the phrase “big dog” become a thing? Seems dumb
