Got down to 23 this morning. Snow pack is frozen so hard, I had to slice at the top of it with a metal ruler to be able to penetrate it to get a measurement. 3.5" depth.
-
I was a 7-year old kid so I probably wouldn't be able to give a very scientific measurement. But I do remember piles of shells on the ground everywhere, not just under or around the trees. We tried tent camping in my cousin's backyard and gave up pretty quickly when it was apparent it would be impossible to sleep with the noise.

We were overrun with cicadas in western MD in 1970. I've seen them twice since then and neither time has compared to that year.

When I arrived home from work this afternoon the snow cover was still "shining" from the glaze on top. Wife just came inside from being out and said excitedly that she saw a patch of grass. Still 46 degrees at this hour with massive melting going on.

Barometric pressure fell here in the past 48 hours from 30.62" on Sunday morning to 29.69" this morning. Winds should start ripping this afternoon when it recovers.

Did some after-dark hiking on nearby trails through the woods. I was only sinking into the snow a couple of inches with each step. Been a long time since I could walk "on top" of a snow pack like that. It's composed of five snowfalls and some glazes along with numerous freezes. Really cool conditions. Sad to see it melt.

I've been wondering how many members of the forum were north of me. I knew about @Chris78, @Bubbler86, and @paxpatriot. Looks like @HighStakes edges me out by a tick. And @BrendaM, @blizzardmeiser and @Albedoman are also further north, but well east. Interested to see where the rest of the northern Frederick/Carroll/Baltimore Co peeps fall.

A few flakes falling here at 29 degrees.

Low of 9.8 here. Coldest morning since Feb 2, 2019

Interesting night at MRB. Temp at 3 a.m. was 19. Fell to 14 at 4 a.m. Then went back up to 19 at 5, and now down to 12 degrees at 6:00.

Third sub-freezing high in the past 4 days here of 31. In the past 14 days, it’s been above 40 one day for about 5 hours. Snow is frozen solid. Very little melting in full sun all day today.

Feb Long Range Discussion (Day 3 and beyond) - MERGED
WVclimo replied to WinterWxLuvr's topic in Mid Atlantic
12Z GFS has a bonafide snowstorm from Richmond to the Tidewater on Friday morning, after temps in the low 60's on Thursday in that area. -
Both GFS models have the precip skip over my area and then redevelop to the east. Like a line of storms in the spring and summer.

5.5” snow depth is frozen so hard I had trouble getting a metal ruler through to the bottom of it to measure. At least three layers of ice in the pack from snow on snow on snow.
-
This is just rude !

The place we are staying has a wood stove inside and a backyard fire pit so we should be set either way. It also has a deep water dock and canoes and kayaks available but I doubt if we will be able to get out onto the lake unless we get a big-time thaw the next few weeks. We always carry a folding canopy with us, big enough to cover a hot tub if it’s raining.
-
Light snow has added up to an additional 0.6” overnight so far. Up to 3.9” storm total. 7” of frozen snowpack on the ground. About a tenth of an inch of ice accretion also. It’s been 26 degrees since yesterday afternoon.

Renting a lakefront cabin at Deep Creek Lake the weekend of the Spring equinox. Hard to say what conditions we'll find there 4 weeks from now.
-
Precip transitioning to snow grains now. Looks like at least a frosting coming for the glaze of ice. High today was 26.9, low was 22.4. Beautiful winter day all around.

Things getting rough on the highways here. Multi-vehicle accident caused by icy roads at the I-81 bridge including three tractor-trailers has closed the northbound lanes. Multiple other accidents up and down the WV stretch of 81 also. Then there are difficulties like these on secondary roads: Hampshire Co 42 Fire, 1 / Multiple vehicles stuck / Cumberland Road at Harriotts Hill. Mineral Captain 37 on scene requesting FD to shut the roadway down advising multiple vehicles stuck. DOH is on location
