  1. 1% beet juice and sodium chloride in water. Sodium chloride has been documented to overwhelm local qater treatment and aquifers.
  2. It really doesn't pay to make a storm specific thread before D3, otherwise you're making a wishcasting thread that 9/10 times turns into 35 and rain. Part of the blame lies with @stormtracker for prematurely starting the thread, but it was @Bob Chill who openly tossed the Euro yesterday. He is the one who deserves pitchforks and torches.
  3. Planted collards and beets under a vold frame two weeks ago and things are sprouting up a bit fast. Garlic also coming along too.
  4. We do this all the time..preemptively opening a storm thread and it ruins everything.
  5. Might want to wait another 24 hrs...don't need to jinx this.
  6. 12 GEFS is a marked improvement for anyone north of I-66.
  7. 63/55 with sun coming out in Reisterstown. Daffodils, snow drops and crocuses coming up. What a shit winter, the desparation in the LR thread is real.
  8. If it's there at D5 or less than we're talking. Beyond that we've been burned too many times.
  9. Yes. Less than 25% of the events are acceptable and the all but one of the minority that's good is only for the elite forum members in jackpotville.
  10. 12" - 16" of pancake batter followed by 2" to 3" of ZR then a 3 day deep freeze. The icing on the cake would be the event popping up under 12-24 hours.
  11. You can't forecast an ice storm until about 12 to 18 hours out.
  12. When I left the FD around 4:30 31 was fine. We had some weird freezing fog until around 1am and it just slicked everything up.
  13. 97 and 75 and Middleburg Rd in Carroll County have been clusters since last night.
  14. Its legit. Running calls on the western end of the county and its thick. Almost annointed a deer on Springdale Rd.
  15. Legit back end thump in western Carroll County. @mappy might creep towards low end warning event as this pushes through.
  16. @mappy will like this back end...it's solid.
  17. Legit snow in New Windsor. Even Route 31 and 75 are covered.
  18. 1/26/11 and 1/20/16 1/26/11 was an event that busted cold and juiced at the last minute. It was one of the biggest winter power outage events from Richmond to Philadelphia and forever changed how the Federal government looked at telework. Since then OPM and many other public and private agencies have invested heavily in reoutfitting their staff for telework. 1/20/16 was about a half inch of powder falling right at sunset that flash froze. This was the same day the last Blizzard Watch was ever issued by LWX WFO for the 2016 "blizzard" and DOT crews were home resting and planning for the weekend. It reaffirmed for many the reason why early, staggered release was needed because a lot of jurisdictions wanted their staff in all day in anticipation of losing the coming Friday and parts of the next work week.
