I had to take my mom to an appointment and there are major 3-lane roads in Bowie that are still a single lane, and there’s no way to move the piles on the other two lanes without a front loader.

I did a full moon cemetery walk last night. I only took my gloves off a couple of times because it was so blustery and cold.

I’m happy with the possibility of a couple of minor refreshers this week, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see something more substantial pop up as we get closer to when the current pattern starts to relax.

Science: Road salt doesn’t work well below 15 degrees. NWS: Tonight’s low will be 3. Tomorrow’s high will be 12. DOT: We should put down more salt. On topic, I’d gladly take a 2” powder coating on Wednesday.

I thought that 1979 leading up to PD1 was colder, but I guess not. Also thought 1977 was in the mix too.

I thought I was getting used to the cold and then someone turned the wind on.

You did this backwards! You should have asked if you could telework and you go there! Glad she’s okay.

6z kind of nam’d us for Wednesday.

It was about 26 years ago that I was watching the intellicast weenie radar and I got on the phone screaming to a friend, “It’s turning the corner and coming north!” I’m not ashamed to admit that I’m reliving that now while sitting at a bar looking at the weenie radar.

Just a reminder that there’s a winter photo thread. Might be nice to be able to look back for one thread when it’s 103 with 70% humidity in July.

My cheapy thermometers are at 6. Driving home from the beach yesterday along 404 and 50, all the rivers are completely frozen over including the Choptank in Denton and the Severn and South in Annapolis. The Narrows was mostly frozen and the Bay had a lot of ice on the western side, but the center and even along Sandy Point was still open. I heard The Plunge will only be a dip this year as they want participants to only go knee deep.

Yea, this might be kind of funny.

Every time I see this I think of Wacky Packages from the 70’s.
