I may pull the trigger on a room in Ocean City this weekend. Hoping I can get out there after work before it gets messy.

Someone in OC may need to add snowshoes next to the flipflops in their beachwear store.

Sandra Bullock couldn't afford a Patagonia? 

I have an unboxed electric cordless snowblower I'm waiting to try out. Hopefully this new threat at the end of the month will give me that chance.

Yeah we just did one to Deep Creek and made a trip out of it Saturday-Wednesday. It was one for the books, almost 20" and true blizzard whiteout conditions at times. Awesome event. 

What's cold without snow? To sit and watch it snow in front of a fireplace with hot chocolate and going out to do a jebwalk or sledding, skiing, etc. Then coming back in and warming up by the fire again. Can't beat it. Cold and dry or cold and wet is a rather boring way to experience winter. Last weekend was my first chase ever. And my wife who loves the Sun and warm weather was gracious enough to entertain my snow pursuits. lol

Time for a roadtrip to Salisbury to try and catch a flurry or two 

Snow chasin for us is a good way to rack up hotel points. . I'd chase this one but I'm on call.

The NW shift. It’s happening!  Lol. I’m drinking. Don’t listen to me, but watch happy hour pull us all back in. That cold front was slow as hell to get here. Means it doesn’t have enough push. So my thoughts—it stays closer than modeled and we can pull out victory in the jaws of defeat. Yep. Full on wishcasting! LFG!! 

You're not lyin. I was surprised to wake up to 40 degree temp and moderate to heavy rain. Thought we would have flipped before 7am. 

Was able to make it to Harrisonburg, VA yesterday to stay overnight. Yesterday at around 3pm it was 14 degrees and the snow was almost whiteout conditions at times. We made it to Harrisonburg, VA at about 4pm. Lots of cars on the side of the road. We stopped off to get some groceries for the hotel. There was a good 3-4 inches on the roads in town. I forgot to bring my ruler to measure the snow at the end. But I'd say anywhere from 6 to 8 inches. I was hoping for a foot. But we started getting pingers at the end. 

The pic is from the jeep on I-81 at 3:30pm about 13 miles north of Harrisonburg, VA.

It's not bad for a college town.  Some good places to eat.  Enjoy the view.  Are you doing Hotel Madison?

Nah. Marriott. I just want to watch the snow and go out and have dinner or something. Real quick. Not trying to make it a vacation. It's only an hour and a half away.

Booked a room in Harrisonburg, VA. Should be mildly more exciting than Adelphi, MD. lol If it busts out there, Harrisonburg is sooooo romantic.

Just cracked open a 2014 DFH Raison D'Extra. Gonna sip on this HG bad boy slowly and let it warm up. Oh yeah.

Gonna drink some peanut butter whisky to soothe my snow starved soul. I am thinking about going to Harrisonburg, VA for the storm.

More snow in DC than Leesburg - works for me

I'll take another 6" in mid-January. Certainly is better than the last few years! 

Look at the sharp cutoff on satellite.

16.8 for the low for my back yard.

My 2nd 8"+ snowfall in 3 weeks. 

12/18 in Vermont and today at home. Solid.

I'll be in Stowe this weekend to redeem the 60 degree Christmas torch I experienced in VT in 2020. I figure Stowe is a little higher and should see some snow this weekend. But I got a nice surprise at home before I go. So sweet. 

8" here in Adelphi. 

Man that back edge on radar looks like a huge snowplow pushing the snow east. That edge is super straight.

I just ordered an electric cordless snowblower. It will get here Tuesday. Watch it won't snow the rest of the winter so I won't get to use it. lol

Crazy how winters abruptly ended in the lowlands within the past decade. I was hoping moving up onto Parrs Ridge would help. So far just as snowless as Annopoils lol. 

If this keeps up, Mt. Washington will be battling rain/snow lines during winter. lol

Came up to the Khalahari Resort hoping for a white Christmas and some family fun. Got a nice surprise. Woke up to a snow-covered ground! This is a lot better than last year's torch rain in Vermont for Christmas. 

Consolation Prize: Family trip to the Pocono Mountains. We have a white Christmas Eve! About an inch or two on the ground. However, Christmas Day the forecast calls for 47 and rain. At 1900 ft. Can't win. 

Last year we went to Vermont hoping for a white Christmas. It was 60s and rain. I guess I'll take 40s and slush.  Next year, we'll be in Florida for Christmas. We alternate hot/cold/
