If this cold trend can continue, we have until mid-March for a big dog storm. We can even eke out flizzards in April. Though the snow cover may not hang around for a week. Great to have had a few snow events so early with winter only half over.

I think it was partly due to the idea of snow on snow which is even more rare than a MECS. A lot of arctic cold is being wasted on clear dry days and we're marching towards sun angles and marginal temps every passing day. Still hard to believe we're still in Jan though. Lots of winter left.

Like I said, I'd be happy with 2. Or just 1. I just like watching it fall. The cold temps keeping it around for a few days is a bonus.

I'd be happy with 2-4" to coat the existing browning snow we have. Should be enough to make the kids happy as Monday would certainly be another snow day. At this point, I just want snow TV.

Didn't I read someone say that strong cyclones tend to move more N than forecast due to the earth's rotation or something like that? Some people mention land interaction, hugging the coast, etc. (re: like hurricanes). It may have not been in this forum.

Waiting for those glorious words from a met, "I don't believe the models have a good handle on this."

You got chips left? How many chips do you have?

Watch it comes when we lose all this cold air and we'll be dealing with sun angles and marginal temps.

Prince George's is closed until Friday.

Our neighborhood has not been plowed. Whole 5" + sleet is still covering the road. Went out last night to the grocery store to restock for potential snow this weekend and even with tire chains, it was difficult to get out.

This cold air is taking its sweet time. Back up to 29. I guess we need darkness to drop the temps.

Temps finally on the way back down. Got up to 30 here. Now 28.

I hope so. At 29F right now. lol It's like someone took out a hair drier. lol

Temps may rise above freezing at this rate. Forecast says 26. Already at 27 and rising.

Quick question. Just thinking when is the best time to restock on food. If people hear the hint of another snow storm, the stores may have a small window of restocking before being ravaged again. Thinking that Tuesday may be the optimal time. Worst case, I do have tire chains if roads aren't that good yet.
