Are we thinking this storm will be similar to the 1/2022 storm we had where it was pouring rain one minute and then dumping snow paste the next where we ended up with a foot of snow and a ton of downed trees in Calvert?  I understand the synoptics aren't the same here but the results could be similar?

I've been thinking of that one quite a bit also. Difference, from observational standpoint, is it was preceded by a warm (+6.7) month of December. No cold to the ground at all. This week has been warm, but in our area, ground is still quite cold. Waters still frozen or freshly thawed, (i.e. cold). That 2022 storm didn't have any of that advantage, but still clobbered us here in AACo. Power out, roads closed, trees down. 

I think that it won't take much cold air to turn this in to an impactful storm. Just a bit colder than modeled, and we're back in winter.

Plenty of heavy rainfall on the drive in to work. Roads runoff heavy. Wouldn't be surprised if the home station was approaching 1 inch.

Over .5" here and still mod/hvy rain. 37f and miserable. 

Just returned from dog walk.  Steady rain, 37f. Total crap weather.  Even the dog doesn't like it.

Temps 22-54 today, with sun. Significant range. Did some shoveling , but ice on the north side remains impenetrable even though meltwater ponded on top. Have been using old rubber mats and wood ash to keep walking paths safe. Not much longer I guess . 

Has become strangely windy in Annapolis.

Impressive

That Clarksville station seems to run strangely cold, (0 deg). I remember it was a -7 outlier on Jan 30 (when I attended a funeral in Clarksville)

0.3" snow pre-dawn . Temp fell from 30 to 20. DP 4. Breezy

Hey, if I ever win the Powerball I will purchase or build a mini hotel in the mountains (Deep Creek?) with like 10 hotel rooms, a kitchen, a game room, a bar,  and a conference room with screens where we can get together and track some storms! Cool? No? lol 

EDIT: I guess a cheaper option would be just to reserve some rooms at an existing hotel. lol 

One addition.....Come on; this is AmWx.

BGE power out here 8:30. We went through all that weather with no glitch,  then this pops out of nowhere. 

They estimate midnight restoration. 

Month total precip 3.41".....snowfall 9.0" (difficult measurement,  probably too conservative)

Highest temp 61, lowest 5.

Third straight January with above normal snowfall.

Someone told the kids on my street that you can't make a snowman with this snow. They said "hold my beer" and made 5 ...

5 again here

Low 5

Coldest of this winter for me

Low 6.5

Burning mostly red maple with occasional oak and poplar. 

Change to rain here c.17:45 at 30f. 

5.0" at 8:00, all snow

16f

Just drove home from Edgewater. Nothing but chill overcast so far.

18/4

low 17

Difficult scrape as expected.  Doors frozen shut and all the usual annoyance after rain-snow-refreeze event. 

Significant graupel fall here. Piling up sleet-style. Very few honest snow flakes mixing

Low of 19

Swamp refroze quickly.

Tide is way out.

I was just looking at my Facebook memories from last January. What a different a year makes lol. Last year it was winter. This year were stuck in November weather like our classic shitty winters lol

In spite of our significant January thaw, (I had 61f yesterday), the swamp is still frozen over. Tidewater is not, but some skim ice. It won't take much to get us back to winter; should the pattern fall that way. January 2025 was very wintery in our neighborhood, (significantly AN snowfall, well BN temp). Might be tough to do that 2 years in a row.

December total 1.95"...4.3" snowfall. Highest temp 58. Lowest 13

Snowiest Dec here since 2009, but 2017 was 4.2" so about the same.

Annual totals for 2025...

40.37" precip. (Bit BN)

22.5" snowfall (AN)

Highest temp 95, Lowest 4

Had a 10min sleet shower at noon. Touch more on & off since. 

34f

Merry Christmas to all....

(More like an Epiphany gag, but by January 6 we'll be too busy tracking a winter storm)
