Of course I never met Roger, but what stands out to me is how I feel like I really know a person based on content shared on this board. Everything I learned about Roger based on his posts tells me that he was a good, kind and smart man. His time on Earth was well spent as he shared his time and talents with others! We must all remember that our time here is short and we should do our best to make the most of every moment and to give of ourselves to the greater good of others. Live long and Prosper Roger!

zwyts is back! Missed by many this winter!!

heavy rains. no wind. Thought I heard a rumble of thunder, but turned out to be UPS truck coming down the street. lol.

My son took this image from UMD last Friday of some cool optical images in the sky that I thought I would share. This thread seemed like the right place for them.

Lately GFS has led the way with the "idea of snow" but not necessarily the "details".

heavy white rain in Towson

Towson, MD Baltimore County B+ slightly below average snow overall, but cold made the frozen precip stick around for a long time! The big January event gave 8 inches of snow plus 4 inches of sleet. It become rock solid and simply did not melt for a month. Schools closed for a week. Plus several other smaller snow events. We just missed out on the northeast blizzard. If we had got a full hit, it would have been an "A" grade. Essence of the winter was long duration cold, which is not common here.

actually, I'm pretty sure I hear sleet out there, but there's no way I'm getting out of my recliner to check. Cat is settled on my lap! But it is definitely sounding like sleet mixing in.

heavy, heavy snow in Towson! Roads are caving! Go GFS!!

I once heard from a poster that it only rains in Georgetown

GFS was extremely persistent on a deep low close the coast for many runs. Other models were like "yea, right" In the end the appears to have been a meeting in the middle that mostly sucked for DCA and BWI peeps. I think GFS just had too much emphasis in the lowing bombing in a perfect position for DCA and BWI areas, but in the end the bomb must have been just a bit too north and east for our latitude to fully maximize. I am sure that many other factors played into it as well, but we really needed the strong fetch from the coastal to get the big stuff and we simply did not get that. Maybe some backside love tonight but I doubt much,

The snow mix has started just to your north. It should not be long for you. I think 2-4 is reasonable. I am also concerned about being stuck in subsidence zone. Most models had that look for Baltimore area.

Are we still getting our blizzard?

big ole flakes mixing in her in Towson. But will it stay? What's happening up 83? I am looking for a snow drive but not sure what directions I should go? West? North? East? Help!!

I've been telling myself the same thing! Even though I am looking forward to spring gardening weather, I still get that awful feeling when I am in the midst of a snow bust. Years of being a weather weenie school teacher messes with your emotions when it comes to snow. lol.
