  1. I’ve had my RadarScope set to Pittsburgh radar since going to Wisp this past weekend. I was wondering why the hell the returns were so paltry despite the reports coming in.
  2. Yup. Been head down with work this afternoon and finally looked up again. Coming down nicely now in Burke. Dropped quickly to 32/28.
  3. Had more flakes a bit ago, but it looks like the back edge is here.
  4. Just looked outside for the first time in about 20 minutes and I see flakes here in Burke. 36/28
  5. 49 and pouring rain here in Deep Creek. Had plenty of freezing rain earlier today, but the warm air flooded in with the precip. Decent day yesterday though!
  6. My front yard faces northeast and we've got plenty of snowcover, as well. Definitely took a hit the last couple days, but still holding strong. At this point I want it all gone, but it's neat to see how stubborn it's been.
  7. Took the dog for a walk earlier and was amazed at just how much snow is on north-facing and shaded lawns (a few inches, easy). There's even a car at the entrance to our neighborhood that still has 3-4" on top!
  8. I hear ya. I'm not worried about the base, and a couple mild days won't bother me, but I just don't want a torch and rain while we're there!
  9. Earliest daffodils in my neighborhood (almost full sun all day) and some forsythias should be popping here soon enough...
  10. My 13-home cul-de-sac has looked snow-covered for the last 10 days from the layers of salt coating it!
  11. It better not f'ing torch next Thursday-Sunday. I'm not in the mood for spring conditions at Wisp!
  12. What I find wild is that there's still plenty of snow on rooftops here. Of course, those in direct sun are bare, but any roof that doesn't get a reasonable amount of direct sunlight still has a couple inches of snow on it. Agree on the lack of really soppy melt. It's just a slow contraction of the snowpack with some damp areas around it.
  13. Eagles fan here (if not like the fan I was as a kid)...a HECS, no doubt. I'd say that a 30" storm without dripping for at least three days afterwards would do it. The anticipation and excitement of model runs as the day gets nearer and the elation while the dendrites are ripping just can't be beat! And then there's days of fun with family and neighbors and years of reminiscing. Yeah...I'd take that.
  14. As long as we have some cold for the few days prior when we're at Wisp, I'll take a Birds Super Bowl as icing on the cake.
  15. It hasn't busted high on the high temps for me...at all.
  16. I'll be happy and sad in equal measure to see this snow go.
  17. Upcoming storm names: Frodo Gandalf Hama Imrahil Can't think of any LOTR 'J' names...
  18. Ours went from 33 to 30, as well. Nearby PWSs sitting between 27-28. Might creep up just a bit with some sunshine, but I wouldn't expect any extraordinary spikes.
  19. It's great if snowpack gets refreshed, but if not then it just gets ugly. Yellow and brown snow, twigs, leaves, salt and dirt spray from the roads, etc. - it's just not pretty! It's been an amazing stretch of snowcover and just a general winter feel for MBY, but I'm about ready to wash it clean and see if we can pad the stats in a few weeks.
