It's good to be retired. Now I will know what's going on all day IMBY during winter events.

5:45 am: 34 and Overcast 6:00 am: lite rain began 6:15am: 33.8 sleet w/a bit of rain mixed in.

Briefly went outside and it didn't feel all that cold. In fact, temp was still up at 36.9 at 9pm and still 36.4 at 10pm. It looks like cold air drainage is finally kicking in tho, with lower DP reports. Having skies clear out last night could have helped us somewhat. I would've liked to have started today with lower temps than what they were. Regardless, if I get 1"-2" tomorrow morning then I'll claim victory. If there is any real snow remaining OTG tomorrow night, I'd also claim another victory.

Another facet to this potentially juicy storm and snow/ice aside ..... if QPFs verify, it should push BWI into first place for annual rainfall.

1.14" IMBY for this event as of 11:45am 11/5/18, with R- still falling.

I know Unisys Weather reformatted their site a few months ago. Assuming Unisys is still producing this map, does anyone have the updated link to the 3-hour surface pressure changes map? Thanx in advance.

While driving around Columbia near Routes 175 and 108 this morning, I briefly got a glimpse of a Maryland license plate approximately abbreviated as "SNOHOLE" -- or something to that effect. Seems like something that would have belonged to someone local from this board. Anyone ?

Temp range today IMBY was 99.4 for the high and 73.8 for the low -- that's a pretty warm morning low even for Columbia. Temp now is just below 91 -- may be time for a Jebwalk.
