  1. 32f and steady rain. 0.35" so far. Bit of ice on car but that's all I've seen. Absolute garbage weather eta: now that it's daylight, I see that trees and most elevated has some minor glaze. Mailbox was glazed. Also, I noticed AACo school busses seem to be rolling on schedule.
  2. January total 0.88 (0.63 of which fell on last day). 11.9" snow Highest temp 58, lowest 4
  3. After last year, Dec 2024 must be at least F+. (Unless last year can be F-. But I didn't now there was a minus possible on F. Maybe I just don't know how to fail well, even after all those years following the Redskins)
  4. Update to the ice on bay discussion: https://www.chesapeakebaymagazine.com/cd-canal-under-ice-restrictions-as-upper-bay-potomac-hit-90-ice-cover/ Interesting quote I never knew: "Under Port Condition Two, “only steel hull vessels with 1,500 minimum shaft horsepower and a main engine cooling system design that prevents blockage from ice” may transit the area, " That's a significant sized (and priced) vessel. The map : My low this morning 21f.
  5. 12 low Patches of ground showing through the snowpack now.
  6. I think that means average as of Jan 22...if that's what you're getting at. I declare that that big blue snow streak along the Gulf Coast has broken the map. I guess LA to be at over 800% of average (or more). They've run out of colors. Historic, IMHO
  7. Not overdone for our little section of tidewater, (the South ) 100% fast ice here. But I am interested to hear about the larger rivers, especially if someone has traversed the 301 bridge maybe. Nice map.
  8. A drunkard doesn't care how foolish he looks. (Eh, many of us have been there). But the next day, he regrets it; and might even apologize to his friends. Public schools, OTOH, don't care and will apparently never care. Temp up to 8 on the drive in.
  9. 11 low so far. About 13 when I awoke, but had sudden drop an hour later. Might hit 9 or so.
  10. Low of 11 here. Lowest DP was 2, so didn't feel it was likely to get below 0 even if cloud conditions improved.
  11. 1/3/25 - 0.7" Brief thundersnow 1/6/25 - 9.7" All snow 1/11/25 - 1.2" 1/19/25 - 0.3" Rain all day changed to snow for last bit Season Total - 11.9"
  12. Nice of you to block out that Nittany thing for the photo. Still just overcast in Annapolis.
  13. 11.7 and still falling when I left home. Might make 11f for the low. Drove across the wide South River on Riva Rd bridge and it was frozen bank-to-bank. Looked like fairly thin ice, but seemed to go to the Route 2 bridge at least. ETA: Tidal ice must be thicker than I thought, according to CG and DNR: https://www.chesapeakebaymagazine.com/captain-of-the-port-sets-winter-port-condition-one-as-ice-builds-up-in-bay-tributaries/
  14. Apparently some Northern Virginians have moved to east TX...(the notice is from the Independent School District. Commentary from my daughter) Comical that they had to turn off comments, presumably from smart-ass students. The adjoining District closed.
  15. Our snowiest months have been similar (tho slightly colder): Jan 1996 and Feb 2003 each only one night in single digits. Feb 2010 none (BWI). (Well; they only have 7 inches of snow, so may be jumping to conclusions.)
  16. My coldest day here...hi 30 from low of 17; and somewhere along the way DP was 6. Full sun too
  17. This morning the flowing side of the swamp (downstream of the dam) was iced over. This is a new level of winter for us. (Swamp plus tidal South River have been well frozen for some time now.) My low was 18f overnight then warmed a bit by dawn.
  18. Down to 21f. May drop little more
  19. 1/3/25 - 0.7" Brief thundersnow 1/6/25 - 9.7" All snow 1/11/25 - 1.2" Season Total - 11.6"
  20. DCA (7.2) was actually in the ballpark this time. But we all know that if DCA is 7.2 and IAD is 5.1, somebody's lying somewhere.
  21. 1" overnight makes my event total 9.7" in central AACo
