Also the early Jan snow. Made more memorable by our power being out for 2-3 days. Major State highway closed 3 days after sudden heavy snowfall, major tree damage that took months to clear up. All in the swamps of Anne Arundel too.
I've experienced 6 decades of central Md winter storms, some very big, and I never predicted this year's snow would be in the top 20 like this.
I can't report event total precip because I can't get the rain gauge unfrozen from it's rack to bring it in by the fire to thaw out. And I can't use the old hair dryer heat gun on it because power's been out for 6 hours.
Not a big deal, but kinda felt like complaining.
Temp 11, DP - 3
(I think we'll struggle to get single digits here tonight)
Visibility in Annapolis has improved to 1/3 mile, in fog, mist, rain.
I'm placing my obs in the obs thread instead of the icy event thread because I don't think we've had one drop of ice here today. Miserable, cold, rain.
