Haven’t measured recently, but I had 7.75 as of 3:00. Expecting I’m about done because I see being stuck in subsidence between the Montgomery County band and the one south of us. Great storm though.

I love when we get those feathery-looking radar returns that build from Charlottesville and push north. We usually do well with that <knock on wood>.

Dendrites kicking in Burke once again. These fatties accumulate so fast. Absolutely love ULL action!

This band dropped about an inch in an hour in Burke.

Thermal mass of snow is really low. When you’ve got 6 gallons or so of boiling liquid to cool, the snow doesn’t stand a chance.

@nw baltimore wx Supposed to brew today - first time in ages. Only thing stopping me is figuring out if I’m going to use the hose-to-coil chiller to cool the wort. That’s the only thing g that sucks about this storm.

Haven’t measured since a little after 7 am, but I had 5.75” as of then and have definitely gotten up to 6” total since. I’m in Burke, by the way.

Snowing lightly in Burke with similarly light returns. Looking juicy to our south and southwest.

Glad it’s meeting your expectations.

First flakes in Burke.

Seriously man...lighten up.

I'm pretty impressed. I always go with BWI and RIC on or around the same dates, and didn't think we'd get enough of a cool down to get BWI there just yet. Hopefully Richmond can hold off for a couple more weeks. DCA...forget it.

I know...and you confirmed that the thread is dumb.

That’s why this thread is dumb.

Beautiful garden, psu. I’m definitely jealous that you have so much sun-drenched land to lay out a really useful space. I’ll be laying out my space much differently than it is now, and I’ll likely be putting up a cage structure to help keep the pests out. This year has been worse than ever with squirrels and chipmunks doing a number on plenty of my plants. I’ve got a ton of trees around, which will make it a little difficult to clean up in the fall, but I’ll make it work.

It's a little surprising that it's been that dry in the last month, but in no way do I think we should be thinking too hard about any long-term effects. If we're still parched come July or so, then I think we can start talking about issues. I need to get the dethatching rake out to pick up the holly leaves that came down this winter. The dryness and cold did a number on the holly in my front yard - it lost at least 1/3 of the leaves by the time the windstorm finished. Those leaves choke the life out of a lawn since they don't break down easily. Once I get those up, I'll probably get to mowing for the first time this year.

Doesn’t matter. Just normal variation.

Stormy should run that lap backwards now.

Oh noes! Severe drought!

DROUGHT!!1!!!1
