Paleocene

Wow, what a miserable day out there! Looking forward to some sunshine tomorrow.

I'll give it a C for MBY. Cold and relatively snowy January prevented it from being a D or F. But man, would have been nice to have real snow in February...

Not bad for next week.

Big cell out near Dulles, anyone in it? Not much action here in silver spring so far since a downpour around 2pm

Hope that pattern sticks. Gonna be on Cape Hatteras the 9th - 16th, hoping for 65-75 and sunny!

It does not look like March out there. Love it!

Getting clapped by wind and snow in silver spring. Fun little end to winter here. Roads not caving but everything else is

Even a bit of ice on trees and cars inside the beltway in silver spring this evening. Light mist falling. 32

Drove to visit a sibling and family north of Ithaca NY today, and got caught in the squall warning! It was sick. Photo taken by my partner in the passenger seat as we crawled on NY route 392, at about 20 mph. We got off of I-81 south of Cortland because the squall was visible to the NW horizon. It looked like a summer thunderstorm - gray/black clouds - as we advanced in patchy partly cloudy sunlight. Did not want to be on the interstate with the trucks as that squall blew through. The snow was super powdery and got really caked on the tires, it got slippery quick in my lame all-season tires which are only 3k miles old lol. The vehicle in front of us was a NY state plow, which we blindly lucked into following. It was dumping salt and scraping the accumulation out of the way. The squall dropped about an inch of snow, impossible to tell because of the wind. At some points it was almost blinding, visibility probably a max of 20-25 yards.

Damn wind woke me up early.

Moisture will not be the problem, hopefully lol.

Indeed, it's not over til it's over, even inside the beltway. Took this near Hyattsville on 3/21/18 according to google photos. About 3" OTG

Lots of snowdrops blooming in my neighborhood over the past week. Daffodil shoots up in the sunnier spots. Crocuses coming soon :-D

Juicy!

"high end scenario of several inches" what we do best

Goofy pops a weak low off GA at 09z sunday

Close but no cigar. I had a friend over there at the time though, I'm referencing back roads which I drove through to get over there!

We're reminiscing? I have spent all of my life in the Mid-Atlantic, how boring. Grew up in Harrisburg PA, born in the late 80s. So, here's my ranking. 1) January 1996. We had school closed for an entire week, the plow piles on our road were absolute insanity for a kid. I remember climbing up plow piles in residential driveways that were double my height. It was astonishing! 2) PDII 2003. We got annihilated by the deform and total accumulation, huge drifts, wind, blowing sand. I remember very heavy rates in the afternoon of that storm. My brother and I jumped off an 8' retaining wall into snow piles in our neighbor's driveway, and I think that is probably the moment when I hit my head funny and became obsessed with snow. 3) The early feb 2010 stretch. I was in college in south central PA at the time in the perfect window to get 20" from the first and nearly 20" from the second. Absolutely unforgettable drifts on back roads, drifts above the roofs of cars, impassable streets everywhere, mountains on car roofs, people shoveling snow off of roofs, it was like we lived in Norway or something. Gets ranked lower because I was older and it wasn't as influential as the first two in terms of my snow obsession, but this is probably when I started to really track snow. 4) March 1993. I was younger for this one, but I remember building snow caves in our driveway from the accumulations/plowed snow. 5) 1994 ice/glacier stretch - I can remember sliding on top of what seemed like inches of pure ice above the snow. It was unbelievable. 6) Jan 2016 - great seeing the metro area get buried. We're due for another big one :-). Maybe not this year, but next!

Continuing the "leaving the metro area" good vibes, I'm visiting family in upstate NY over prez day weekend. Hope you all get buried.

ALEET it got suddenly quite foggy in Silver Spring in the last hour or so

Yep, seen this film before in the UHI
