BWI had 6"+ on Christmas day 1969. About 6" on New Years Day in 1971. Around 5" on 12/27/1990.

Even if its been opened, it should last at least a year if its been kept refrigerated. If there is any organic growth on it (like mold) or if it has a strong smell like wine, you need to toss it.

The trails at Whitetail Resort are no longer visible from my front yard. Impatiently waiting for the snow to reach the ground. 28 degrees.

I remember Gary’s model rundowns well. I think I have his posts during the lead up to that storm saved on a disk somewhere. Always a valued read when model runs took so long to view on dial-up. Shame the guy was always pressed for time

I was traveling on business the week of the ‘96 event. On Thursday afternoon I checked into a motel in Lancaster, PA and flipped on the TV to find PSU’s “Weather World” broadcast. They put up a weekend forecast map of the mid-Atlantic centered on PA that had graphics laid across the whole area that read “BIG SNOWS” in all-caps. They were forecasting 1-2’. Way ahead of NWS on that storm. Friday afternoon I was leaving Seacaucus, NJ wrapping up the trip and saw a bank thermometer that read 3°. That’s when I knew we might be in great shape.

15° with a 6” snow depth

We had a blast enjoying the storm together. It was a much bigger snow than the one the day we got married. We had planned to go out for dinner but the snow worked out better.

Light snow with larger flakes now. Snow on snow in December doesn’t happen all that often.

Getting a few tiny flakes. Wasn’t expecting it. High of 34 today.

12/16- 8.7” 2019-20 total- 6.2”

Storm total of 8.7”. Picked up 5.9” before the change to pellets, 0.4” of sleet accumulation, and then another 2.4” from the back side.

It just flipped back over to snow here after 0.4" of sleet accumulation. Still light, but watching that blossoming area of precip to my south and hoping it doesn't miss east. 6.3" storm total so far.

5.9” here. Hoping for more later.

Some of the biggest snowflakes I have ever seen. Was magical. Now flipping to windy sleet. 23.9 degrees.

About 1/8 mile visibility right now. Last time I saw rates like this was in the CCB in January 2016. Less wind today though.

Been in a lull for a while with only 0.5” new snow in the past hour. But the temp has continued to fall, now at 24.6, the low so far for the day. Radar looks great for the next few hours.

1.5” in the past hour. Currently 2.5” otg with 0.25 mi visibility. Getting breezy too.

Snow started here about 10:00. Just hit an inch with heavier snow on the doorstep. 25.7 degrees.

I've thought all along this could be an 8-12" storm for us. 12-18" seems high in spite of the models consistently printing out those big totals. Nearly everything would have to go right to get there IMO. I expect to see sleet for a while with the heaviest precip tomorrow evening, but hopefully not for a long duration.

No question. 12"+

Cheese curds ? Beer brats. Wisconsin whiskey margaritas ?

24/14. Clear and calm. Baro has crested ~30.30”

Nearly every model run for 5 days, since Friday morning, has shown 10-20" from OKV-HGR. If this verifies 3-7" with some sleet it will sting a little, lol.

3k NAM says 1.50" liquid here a few miles SW of Hagerstown and (just barely) all snow.

Good lord, I had no idea Bob Turk was still working. I watched that guy when I was a kid and we only had 5-6 TV channels.
