North Balti Zen

A cool as hell thing for me anyway - there is an eagle who clearly has a nest quite close by the farm - seeing him/her several times a week now - just a stunner living in this proximity to an eagle - hopefully will never get used to seeing it in flight. Stunning.

Can we name the thread something else…

(The lambs are still screaming )

What seems to never miss on the short term modeling and forecasts are high winds. Definitely confirmed for today. Yeesh - my 22-story office bldg is shaking from the gusts - very noticeble up on 20th floor anyway...

I feel like "winter is canceled" posts based on one day 15 run of an op followed by days of models showing winter is not canceled should yield a one-month ban for those making such posts...

Was 12 when I left the house in Fallston at 8 am.

Light snow on my drive home through Jacksonville toward Fallston 

All obs this year for me are from Fallston, MD -

11/30 - T

12/2 - A little frz rain to start - trees and car glazed - but 35 and rain for most of event

12/5 - T (dusting from a few hours of flurries as dry cold death air ate any chance of anything else north of BWI
 

12/14 - 4” 

Running season total - 4”

Just got back and measured in a few spots protected from the wind and sun and would put it at 4” at my spot in Fallston.

@Interstate how did it do our way? Probably gonna use you for measurement for me up the road -

just looked out the window where I am in south Orange, NJ and it is coming down hard up here - it’s a few degrees colder than back home and that clearly helped up this way. 

Up in NYC since last night for holiday lights and a show with Beth and the kids and haven’t been following the models today - but the WWA up here just upped to 3” - 5” up to 6”  for this area.

To be fair. Most Decembers none of us see a flake lol. I think we're spoiled with this pattern and we forgot how shitty December usually is. 

Um, no? Most of us know, but watching areas well to the south cash in several times while T - .2" are what we have seen in the northern areas as the reality kinda blows.

I don't know why up here we would be "spoiled with this pattern". This pattern has been rather shite for many of us. Cold, dry, windy.  

Winds notable overnight and some flurries in Fallston this AM .

The Os signed Alonso??!!

That's a big boy grown-up-team signing in free agency.

12/6 - .3”  surprise overnight light snow into early AM - covered all surfaces and whitened the fields 

Season total -  .3”

Roads were actually kinda slick when I went to drop my girlfriend‘s son off for an early 5k.

Similar obs to my new neighbor - holy crap it’s gorgeous up in Fallston - kinda legit light snow overnight that is lingering this AM - ground is mostly white - I’m gonna log this as accumulating snow in the seasonal obs.

The steady flurries are coating the surfaces in Fallston / it’s pretty. At least not fully shut out. Official dusting. 

Just graduated to steady flurries in Fallston. 

Five flurries in Fallston.

Good lord. I must have hit a double gummy when I tossed my guesses in a few weeks back...
