    7F right now and seems like it's mostly flipped over to sleet. Hard to tell, very windy. I was out snowblowing around the cabin and it seems like maybe 10-12" of snow? Very hard to tell because there's a ton of drifting up here and almost nowhere that's good to measure on. We're gonna eat breakfast and then go 4WD'ing in the snow!

    I've got two oil lamps burning right now. I swear I have gallon jugs of shabbos lamp oil all over the place.

    First flakes on top of Meadow Mountain! Actually picking up in a little intensity. 5F.

    I was gonna take it down this trip up here but I think I'll wait til the end of February. Goes well with the snow.

    Still nothing here. Down to 5F. Breeze has picked up though. We are eating some venison hunted onsite and Benson is on his best behavior hoping for something.

    Well I pulled off the coup and convinced/tricked my wife into staying at the cabin tonight for the storm. 6F right now, just did a walk at dusk with the pup and we are just waiting for the storm. Still expecting 12-18" I guess. I hope it starts snowing soon.

    My cover might be blown. Wife: what time are we leaving Sunday, when does the snow start? Me: oh I'm not sure when it starts, I assume we'll just leave mid morning on Sunday (hee hee) Wife: you've been monitoring this storm nonstop all week, don't tell me you don't know when it's gonna start snowing Me: Ehhhh, uhhhh, depends on the warm nose and 850 temps and other stuff we won't know for sure til Sunday morning. Virga! Wife:....

    Topped out at 30F today at Deep Creek, dropped like a stone and now I'm down to 6F. I have no idea how high the wind gusts are but they have to be 40mph here on top of the mountain. It's been all day. I have a few flakes blowing around but otherwise partly cloudy.

    Out at DCL right now, WSW for 12-18" just came out. 45mph winds too.

    Just wondering, what happens after 72hrs?
  12. IronTy
    GFS seems to hold.

    Detroit rarely ever gets lake effect snow. Study up, man.

    Wow looks like my parents end up with more snow than DC from this system...and they live in Detroit.

    I'm gonna make sure we got to the cigar shop after we drive to the cheese/wine store in Oakland...to stock up just in case....

    I was surprised, we have about 8" on the ground up here. Didn't think it would be that deep. Add another foot or two on Sunday and it'll be legit snowshoe conditions.

    I'm thinking I just sort of play dumb on the start time of the snow, hinting to Sunday afternoon. Then be "totally caught off guard" when the storm comes in early and is dumping by daybreak on Sunday morning. Ah geez, too late to risk driving home...

    I just arrived at the cabin out near DCL. It's very windy and 24F here at 3k ft. How we looking for snow totals out here for this? I'm trying to hatch a plan so I can convince my wife not to make us drive home early Sunday morning. How bout if I manage to get us to sleep on Sunday morning til like 9am, will the snow then be too heavy so I can convince her it's too dangerous to drive back to Calvert?
  19. IronTy
    No it doesn't?
  20. IronTy
    Reel it in baby!!

    Flips to sleet around 00Z monday.
  22. IronTy
    That's a loooooong precip shield at 18Z Sunday. Still all snow .

    "Hate that for ya"

    Secretly I'm hoping to get trapped out there so I can experience 2ft of snow but my wife wants to get back for work Monday. I may disconnect the car battery and just not understand why it won't start. But maybe we leave at like 3am depending when the snow is going to start. I'm used to driving in snow, it's not a big deal, I would hope to get past 270 before much traffic got on the roads. We'll see how things look come Saturday.

    Got a solid 9hrs of sleep last night. Woke up, ingested some coffee and am ready to track again. Model trends this morning look good. I'm leaving for DCL this evening with plans to drive back down from there to Calvert early Sunday morning. I have a colonoscopy scheduled for Tuesday morning but that may end up getting canceled.
