    Southern MD / Lower Eastern Shore weather discussion

    in Mid Atlantic

    Posted

    Well today it becomes official. I move into my new home in South Hanover, PA. A part of me will always remain in Southern Maryland (born and raised) and will always pull for the southern part of the sub region. 
    I’ll still be stopping in to say hello from time to time or whenever it looks like y’all are gonna get something juicy.

    I was talking with someone much older than me who's lived in Calvert County a long time, and she said there was a really bad ice storm in 2001 for Southern MD. Anyone who lived here at the time know if this is true? I'm not sure if she has the right year, but she said she's NOT confusing it with the 1994 one. I was living in Glen Burnie at the time and that winter was a dud up there.

    (tagging @Wxdavis5784 since I think you were living around here at the time?)

    I sure was. I grew up in Charlotte Hall right at the northern tip of St. Mary’s County.
    Nothing sticks out, we’ve had a plethora of ice storms over the years and some were worse than others. NOTHING COMPARES TO 94. Everything in comparison to me is Busch League.

    I actually have videos of the January 94 ice storm- my brother and I are attempting to sled, and my parents are sliding all over the place trying to walk in the yard. No one can get up the hill to slide, we just jump on the sled and slide across the flat areas of the yard. :lol: It’s pouring freezing rain in another video with everything encased in ice.

    I don’t have video, but the memories are embedded in my mind. I remember my mother and I practically ice skating on the driveway!

    I was growing up in Glen Burnie for the '94 ice storms- I know there were several, but the big one for us was the January one followed by the "Big Chill of '94" which made it impossible to clear the ice or even leave the house. I was off school for almost two weeks.

    The big one in Southern MD and the Eastern shore was in February, which was even worse from what I read (it actually got a federal disaster declaration).

    Correct! I remember you could have ice skated on my driveway. We were taking metal sleds down my neighbors driveway!

    My panic room sacrifice seems to be delivering the goods... to St. Mary’s at least. Borderline WSW overnight last night and now ice storm warning. :lol:

    Thank you for your sacrifice. 

    It has been a while since we have had a decent ice storm... I remember the storms in 94', we were out of school for two straight weeks... Some of my friends didn't have power for almost the same amount of time!

    It just seems like the model chaos is way worse than any other year I’ve watched (and I’ve been watching for about 12 years now). Too many solutions and waves and events- it’s going over my head. I’ll just measure whatever I get and send it in the spotter reports. :lol:

    Exactly. Reading the storm thread increases my anxiety. And if I have to hear about f***ing Winchester anymore I’m going to go insane.

    Like I said above, for every system the Euro seems to be too far south this year. I wouldn't worry much about it, the northern tier people always fret over being fringed and then the rug pull comes for us with less than 12 hours to go.

    Reading the main thread is what I would imagine having schizophrenia is like...

    nam is pretty good esp in the short range. the fact that it and the euro have generally turned the backside into very little is a flag for sure. not sure I'm too worried about tomorrow tho... see what the gfs says I suppose.   

    I believe you said something similar last night on Twitter. I concur.
