Cool, thanks for the info.

For those of you familiar with the area, is Wisp/Deep Creek typically open with snow around New Years?

Good. It’s too hot today.

I’m sure there were other reasons but the strongly -NAO helped.

We stop at rest stops or places like Sheetz as necessary. We put on our masks and go and then leave. I understand that there is some risk involved but what can you do? There isn’t much choice. Again, if one of us were high risk the story would be different.

We took our trip to OBX a few weeks ago and are still planning to go to Smoky Mountains in August, but we stay in our own house and don’t really have much indoor interaction with other people other than picking up take out from a restaurant. If one of us was high risk, we would think differently.

Nice storm moving through.

Not a surprise, but Arlington County sent out an email today saying the “most likely” scenario is that we will be having remote learning in the fall. The “least likely” scenario is a return to normal operations. In between in terms of likelihood is some combination of in person and remote learning.

Was this it? Check out this trail on AllTrails. https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/maryland/seneca-ridge-to-seneca-greenway-trail-loop?p=-1

Thanks for this. I’ll check it out. Can you access the creek for fishing?

Anybody have any suggestions for places within an hour of DC to walk/hike that aren’t overrun?

I’m surprised there hasn’t been more people commenting on Hogan et. al saying that there won’t be a full return to school until Phase 3, which is tentatively estimated to be January 2021. Maybe I’m misinterpreting it. https://www.eyeonannapolis.net/2020/05/governor-hogans-update-on-covid-19-response-go-boating-and-golfing/ EDIT: After reading the article a little closer, I see that Maryland hasn’t tied the phases to any particular date. The tentative date of January 2021 for Phase 3 was based on a chart that was provided to the state by a professor as part of a presentation.

Lol, the photo is a little blurry and I thought it was the elusive 220 Minute IPA.

I think these numbers are going to stand. Very unlikely we get any further measurable snow this season.

Thanks so much for writing this up!

Lol. .1” twice - unreal. At least we got that beat.

Seems like EPS took that beastly Pacific ridge that was tormenting us and gradually shifted it over us.

Just about.

12z GFS looks good .... if you live in Maine.

6z GEFS not supportive of the Day 9–10 event. Maybe 1 or 2 members have a hit of some sort, the rest have nothing or rain. It ain’t pretty right now for snow chances.

No more mega block on 0z GFS and weaker 50-50 and the Day 9-10 thing is now a rainy cutter.

Changes to the Day 10 event on GFS. Looks like a 50/50 and -NAO.

Great job today @psuhoffman.

Not enough cold air and the track looks slightly too close to the coast? PSU mentioned in earlier posts that the ridging in Canada cuts us off from cross polar flow of fresh cold air. So we have to rely on whatever cold air has gotten trapped under the block, which may be stale by the time the storm arrives.

GEFS also likes the Day 9-11 timeframe. Mixture of acceptable hits and rain storms showing up.
