Bone headed doing a fake punt there

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

If I was a Ravens fan, I’d be rooting for BUF 

100% they should be, yes.

This looks like the “old” KC. BUF can’t stop their offense. 

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"

If you got 3 after nws bumped you to the 5-8 zone this morning I’d call it a bust. 

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...

Not quite 3”, been a pixie dust snow for hours now 

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've been getting hit hard this entire event. I'd estimate I'm up around 5 new. Probably 8 on the ground. It's been really impressive out here east of DC. Sorry, PSU. This is ours lol

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.

Actually I'm getting nervous about that... I was kinda holding out hope this next round might be decent up here but its starting to look like the next band wants to set up right where the last one did.  

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

N. Carroll into Baltimore down through Harford towards me definitely got screwed. I’m not surprised about mby but shocked about your area.

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. 

2.5” - gonna need help to make my dream of my first verified winter storm warning since 2016

Altho demerits to my younger lab for trying to make off with my snow ruler..

My labs will NOT let me work. I am sitting outside on my deck in the falling snow watching them explore. Frankly, this rules.

Rates just picked up for me - might be productive for a bit...

It really is a snow globe outside.

For those of us near Baltimore and especially north, this past week might be our best stretch of winter since 2016.

EASILY the best since then. Not even close. 

Two inches now at my spot in Monkton. Would REALLY like to get to the 6" mark with this event. Go, snow, go!

snow globe out there yall

pure bliss

I moved out here, amidst trees and rolling hills, and suspected that it might be fookin' gorgeous in a legit daytime rates snowfall.

After two years I can finally report...

...CONFIRMED.

Holy balls is it gorgeous out.
