Nice! Its too bad Wisp threw in the towel. Would have been nice to carve up the front side for a couple more days. At least mid season was rockin'.

snowing big time out in deep creek. probably an inch on the ground already.

Nice! I started to work out for the first time ever last fall. Turned 45 and felt old and slow for the first time in my life. Reduced the crap I was eating too. Went from 170->155 and can actually see some muscles now. I don't go to a gym though, just bought a set of weights and alternate between arms/abs/biking(legs). My motivation is to hopefully prolong my years here and spend more quality time with the family. Also thinking it might be another 40 years until we see a BECS so I need to last till at least 85.

Its snowing in Deep Creek right now, hopefully the moisture makes it over the mountains.

White rain out in Deep Creek, grassy areas have a coating but driveway is just wet. Ellicott City has been mostly rain, a couple of wet snowflakes at times. Of course my philly house camera went down last night so I'm not gonna be able to see the goodness happening up there until I can make it up to shovel.

37 and rain in Deep Creek. Snowpack is taking a hit. Good thing I didn't plan on skiing today.

Currently sunny out, when does my snow start?

That might be a fair price, depending on size. Someone in my neighborhood with a medium size driveway had a crew come in to clear it after everything had frozen into concrete. Took 5 guys with landscape shovels over 45mins. No clue how much she paid but assuming at least $30/hr per person. Landscape companies are raking it in. Saw a convoy of trucks loaded with snow, with a bobcat on a trailer. Some of these townhouse communities have no where to put it all.

HoCo is the same way. If they are waiting for sidewalks to be clear, we won't have school until Spring. At this point just open up and whoever can make, makes it. Can't believe some of the wealthiest counties in the country can't figure out virtual school for situations like this. I understand giving kids a day or two of a "snow" day to have fun, but there needs to be a better plan for these extended breaks. Its like they didn't learn anything from covid.

I did my last clean up around 6pm yesterday, it was still sleeting and ended up with about 1/2" of crud this morning. Metal flat blade shovels popped it up real nice. I have some neighbors that haven't touched their drives. They are HOSED.

Is there a roof overhang nearby? I noticed a lot extra sleet around my house under the gutters and a foot or so out. All the sleet from the roof was sliding down and piling up. I measured 6" of snow when I woke up before the sleet started. Who knows how much sleet, maybe another 5-6"?

So I cleared my drive this morning, now it has a couple inches of sleet. I think I'll let it be until tomorrow morning. I feel like if I do another clearing before dark I'm gonna get some bad glazing overnight.

I have a 4' pile of sleet on the ground under where two parts of my roof intersect. Its like a sleetvalanch coming down that corner.

Yea its basically a driving rain storm but you don't get wet. Not sure I've ever seen sleet this hard.

Was supposed to be skiing this weekend with the kids having a 3 day weekend, but the single digit temps killed that plan. Might try just myself later in the week but temps are frigid through next weekend. Dumping sleet in Ellicott City right now. Measured 6" prior to the flip.
