    So are we gonna have an epic winter with big snows or is it gonna be cold, dry and windy? That's the question.

    Baltimore got almost 3ft of snow from the 2016 blizzard where SoMD got just over a foot. You had to know there'd be payback for that.
  3. 15F and it looks kike about 2" of snow in Garrett. 32F here in Calvert. My sister in Charlotte, SC sent us a video of a show shower yesterday afternoon so yeah it was snowing there.
  4. Me? Maybe. My wife and dog? No.
  5. Game cam reports more snow at DCL with a high of 33F now 29F, at least at 3k ft.
  6. Looks like upslope snow right now near DCL.

    That dude just posted a map of basically every possible storm track we could get so he's got his bases covered. Surprised he didn't throw the SER in there as a possibility just to cover the failure mode. ETA - I was looking at his maps and couldn't figure out where Baltimore is, can anybody help?

    I got a good feeling for this December. Lube up your snow shovels, gonna need them. I'm even seeing a white Christmas on the table. Of course I'll be up at the cabin for Christmas with the wood stove on blast.

    I started and stopped reading the article with this sentence. I'm sold. Some of Washington, D.C.’s most memorable winters have come with the QBO in its easterly phase. The multi-blizzard winter of 2009-2010 (56.1") was an easterly QBO winter, as was 2002-2003 (29.0")...
  10. I like WxBell maps the best and their map interface is easy and works good on mobile. Plus JB is actually entertaining to listen to on his daily videos even if he does see a winter storm behind every blade of grass.
  11. JB has been lamenting the euro mid range warmth bias forever now. Always talks about how it's unable to see cold in the mid-longer range.
  12. The Dec-09 storm was tops at my house in Calvert. Had 29". The February storm was second but it didn't produce as well as the December storm did around here.
  13. BWI: 27.3” DCA: 12.1” IAD: 21.3” RIC: 8.5” SBY: 17.0”
  14. Would be cool if we could get a repeat of those thunder snow squalls that we saw last year.

    There are so many random three letter indecis you can follow in climate that I'm convinced that any single one of them can show you any outcome when you fix that one and adjust the remaining ones. It's worse than the DoD.
  16. Heavy rain, cool and windy out right now. Feels like a proper fall storm for once.
  17. We lease our land at the cabin to some neighboring hunters every year - it pays the property taxes and they give us about 50lbs of venison at the end of each season as well. They're always wondering why we don't hunt out there. I tell them if I wanted to hunt I'd just do it from our home in Calvert. I could easily take ten deer just shooting from my kitchen window if it were allowed. They're everywhere.
  18. First flakes, I mean sprinkles, here. ETA - just looked at the game cam at the cabin and it's 39F there.
  19. Apparently I was asleep at the wheel - I was not expecting the winds to be so intense today. Pretty raw out there.
  20. I ran the wood stove all weekend. Two weeks ago I looked at the latest electricity prices and decided I needed to order more firewood for the winter.
  21. It's been so long since we had a cold winter that even an average winter feels like an ice age.
  22. I can't even imagine how intense this board is gonna get when the day finally comes...
  23. My Mandevilla vine is covered in flowers now. Might bring it inside by the end of the week though.
