North Balti Zen

If we actually get enough flakes for legit snow TV status during the heart of the warm hades horror winter lull ("WHHWL") I am gonna go ahead and take that as a good sign for prosperity when thing break back our way starting around Feb. 8...

I left at 7:30 and...too late for that today. Almost a dead stop at the Hereford zone ramp and bumper to bumper whole way down. No accidents, just fog and volume and rain. 85 minutes.

No idea- it was immediately evident upon exiting the house in northern balt county that visibility blew. It got no better at any point on my thunderdome drive downtown.

Heck, given the notes on how awful this immediate pattern is - having had something to even keep an eye on for a few days has been a pleasant surprise.

Nah - we are saying the same thing - I think it's a sign of growth that people have been realistic at range - I think your discussion for days has been on point and appropriately framed (and solution and wxluvr). Plenty of people will still tune into today's 12z b/c it's not a zero chance. I genuinely think your guidance of the long range discussion this year when we have had discernable threats has been really excellent fwiw.

fwiw, I was pretty proud of the board for not biting on it in any respect in terms of anticipation etc. Small victory for people keeping their inner snow child in check...not that we won't keep an eye on the next set of runs of course...

The commute down 83 was a foggy hell. 15 mph on average bumper to bumper for 27 miles. snowpack still on my back hill that doesn’t get as much sun. I’m not a snowpack zealot but will have had snow on ground for 11 days straight assuming today is the last day for it - that’s pretty legit.

Any flakes falling on Monday during the two-week sadness lull up my way would be a bit of a win.

It has been that way this year - last year was the reverse - micro-climate stuff is genuinely fascinating to me.

19 this AM for the morning dog jaunt. Felt like it. Cold.

First Webb and now Heisy? Holy balls.

Quite the heel turn for him...

So, it was 7 this AM and that...kinda blew. I walked a mile and a half but...enough already. The sun and melt currently underway feels amazing. Snow was nice, nice week, but looking forward to giving the heating oil a break.

Low of 7 at my spot in Monkton.

Not sure if bone-headed - it was absolutely born out of desperation because their D cannot stop KC right now.

100% they should be, yes.

Bills D is absolutely gutted with injuries. Ravens might hang 100 on them if they are here next week.

Hiked a four mile loop at Oregon Ridge. COLD. Hard walking that far in the snow.

12/7/23: T (maybe a T on 12/6/23 too but I was not home to see it/verify it) 12.11.23: .8" 1/6/24: T (two hours of winter storm watch - yay! - rapidly converted to winter weather advisory - still ok... - then -- a little sleet and snow and a LOT of rain...sigh) 1/14/24 - T 1/15/24 (a little into the early AM on 1/16 too) - 4" 1/19/24 - 3" Season total - 7.8"

Eh, it is what it is. Bad luck (again). It was gorgeous out, I got to walk the dogs twice on the NCR trail with no one around in falling snow and they've been out to play four times and I got to watch my younger lab take long rolling baths in the fresh snow - so...not a bust - but still have not personally seen a 5 inch or greater snowfall since Jan. 2016 (moved for north balt city to monkton in Dec. 2021). It has been a weird run of bad snow luck for me personally for greater snowfalls. At least we didn't miss out almost entirely like happened up here in Jan. 2022 when the beltways over to Ji were getting 10 inches and we got half an inch...

yup. not exactly a bust but we've had almost none of what a bunch of the forum has experienced.

Three inches. Sun peaking out.

I will answer for psu- his area and adjacent areas have missed any big ones for several years now while the immediate south has cashed.

It’s been pretty disappointing again up this way. Pretty, but definitely missed almost all the good stuff again.

it is what it is. Been a gorgeous day but it is not piling up. Maybe next time. We remain overdue up this way to really maximize a legit event.
