  1. Frederick County schools closed due to "worsening conditions." Apparently rain and then not rain is considered a worsening condition now
  2. 37.6 / 37.2 and light rain in Frederick. Wind (meager as it is) just picked up and switched to coming from the north. Gonna be too little too late though around here
  3. I've heard it's ok to be irrational about snow and am acting accordingly
  4. I was gracious and happy for the southern folks with the January 3rd storm. Now I'm just bitter that they are stealing our northern birthright to snow superiority
  5. I prefer civilization lol. Middletown / Myersville is the place to be around here
  6. Depending on what part of Frederick you are in. I sit at 300 ft and generally do very poorly on storms that are elevation dependent
  7. Thanks Katie! The little "Let is Snow" flag in the garden has been putting in serious work this year!
  8. Up to 4” and all snow here in Frederick. Switched to sleet and freezing rain (22.3 degrees) for a little while around 6 this morning. Not a bad little storm here .
  9. Going with 4.3” total for the two days based on the amount added by Thursday mornings snow shower that moved though. I just emptied my CoCoRaHS, which I take much more seriously than I do my backyard snow measurements, and had 0.42” liquid equivalent. Almost an exact 10:1 ratio. It’s nice when things work out [emoji106] .
  10. Looking lovely outside in Frederick. Just shoveled the driveway where there was considerable melting with nice fluff on top of slush. Solid 4” on all other surfaces though. .
  11. Damn, sounds like quite the drive you had. Glad you made it back safely!
  12. 15 years later and I can still hear my Meteorology professors and lead forecasters screaming "NEVER ADVECT RADAR" from across the weather station
  13. Huh, usually it is the other way around. We definitely had some nice rates right around 10pm here.
  14. Just woke up and measured a nice 4 inches outside in Frederick. I'll take it
  15. That's more like it. *Frederick based chef's kiss*
  16. I appreciate the optimism but probabilities work both ways
  17. Hadn't seen this posted yet in this thread. Apologies if I missed it and this is a duplicate.
  18. 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.
  19. 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!
  20. It's from a delightful restaurant in downtown Frederick called Hootch & Banter. I'm sure something can be arranged
  21. 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!
  22. Ok, now I'm torn. A big storm means that I might not be able to get this for the Super Bowl
