North Balti Zen

Yup! just such a great way to break the snow lid. Hoping winter storms remember where we are now…

Chili! It’s slow cooking now - gonna do some corn muffins with it when ready later. pancakes for breakfast. It’s such a good Sunday.

Snow sleet mix in Fallston now. Gonna grab this measurement as we transition to sleet part of the festivities - 6” i, for one, welcome the sleet overlords to this part of the storm. Sleet and 14 degrees is a first for me in terms of weather experience.

Re: 10-year drought folks - speaking for Baltimore area north drought crew - we have for the most part!

It’s ripping here at the moment- really want to maximize this last push before the flip. Would love to get to 7 inches. One more to go.

What a great storm to start the pattern- we usually have to let a few of these miss before we get hit in favorable windows…

The sledding has to be epic. Just ideal conditions. same for people that have their cross country skis.

Gonna need you to make a stand - five miles to your north give or take - hold the line

HOLD HOLD!!!!! six inches at 9:15 am measurement here at the farm in Fallston. Still ripping snow. Give me another hour…

Fair. I just think it was WAY too aggressive in pushing the sleet line way north early and cutting down on snow totals pre-flip. I am at six inches in Fallston and it is still pouring snow.

Hoping we pour sleet when it does flip - let’s make this an epic event.

All snow in Fallston still but flake had definitely increased in last few minutes. Battle likely about to begin here.

I didn’t doubt it on thermals but it was fucking out to lunch on qpf and that’s kinda important too.. GFS gonna be way more accurate up my way in fallston in terms of totals.

Also, there is gonna be a NAM fight later about its runs but I am not gonna say it killed it when it was so off on the thump and initial slug of qpf…

Not for nothing , and I will leave this here in banter - but I am kinda fascinated by the next part of the storm - a bunch of sleet on top of this kind of base of snow with temps in the mid teens is a literal first for me in terms of weather experience. If it actually rains on top of that , well, bring it. this is an absolutely memorable storm.
