  1. 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")...
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. BWI: 27.3” DCA: 12.1” IAD: 21.3” RIC: 8.5” SBY: 17.0”
  9. 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.
  11. Heavy rain, cool and windy out right now. Feels like a proper fall storm for once.
  12. 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.
  13. First flakes, I mean sprinkles, here. ETA - just looked at the game cam at the cabin and it's 39F there.
  14. Apparently I was asleep at the wheel - I was not expecting the winds to be so intense today. Pretty raw out there.
  15. 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.
  16. It's been so long since we had a cold winter that even an average winter feels like an ice age.
  17. I can't even imagine how intense this board is gonna get when the day finally comes...
  18. My Mandevilla vine is covered in flowers now. Might bring it inside by the end of the week though.
  19. 40F right now at home in Calvert. Game cam sent me a pic at 7am showing 33F at the cabin which is the coldest I've seen so far there too.
  20. Not even then nowadays. Late May is when spring starts now.
  21. In Calvert I'm at about 100ft and the cabin is just over 3k ft.
  22. My game cam up at the cabin sent a pic at 1pm and the ambient temp there was 43F. Brrrr! 20F colder than down here in Calvert right now.
  23. What's the kuchera? In before the "what went wrong" thread request
