    Bills D is absolutely gutted with injuries. Ravens might hang 100 on them if they are here next week. 

    If I was a Ravens fan, I’d be rooting for BUF 

  2. Anyone live along the Potomac, and can report if there's ice on / in it or not?   Was thinking about going up that way for Sunday drive later.  Always neat to see that.

    Driving back from DCL earlier, I saw ice on the Potomac crossing the American Legion Bridge and from the GW parkway.

  3. More importantly- who are you taking in today’s playoff games?  I’m thinking Lions 35 Bucs 17
    chiefs 24 Bills 21 

    Let’s go Lions and Bills. That’s the Super Bowl matchup I want to see. Hugz to Ravens fans though.

  4. Low of 6, currently 8. And still lightly snowing, an unreal storm/upslope event that just doesn’t want to stop. Really difficult to get an accurate measurement with the wind/drifting snow but with the additional snow yesterday/last night, I’d estimate 18-21”+ event total.

    Today is cold, don't get me wrong. But it's deep winter conditions up here with 7" snow depth, temps in the teens and blowing snow everywhere! 

    @nj2va Making me jealous. We were going to come out for this storm seeing the upslope totals, but then it trended to give 4-6 to my area and the forecast was 8-12 out your way. That plus the negative wind chills made it a bit much for the kids, and only suitable for sickos like us. 

    We might try Canaan area for one of those upslope snows. It's like a B grade LES experience which is still sick (especially when the radar shows nothing :lol:)

    Yeah, I honestly was going to stay home since I was feeling lazy to make the drive but made a last minute decision at 5:30p Thursday to hit the road.  Definitely glad I did.  It’s been snowing all day long here with temps in the single digits (currently 5.8 degrees).  

    You should definitely get out to Canaan for one of these…the ratios last night were easily 20-25:1.

    What an awesome snow event we had today...as I've already mentioned, I was content to accept my previously forecasted 1", but am over the moon to have just measured 3.2" IMBY. And after a brief lull and the sun peeking in weak-tea fashion through the clouds, the overcast has moved back in and we are snowing lightly AGAIN. One or two of those streamers are taking aim at us.

    Went out to shovel last hour, and in celebration I wore my sock-puppet-monkey pigtail hat...which I only break out for very special NoVA snowstorms in my old age...and...yeah, I took out that supplemental accessory on the right, filled with some liquid inspiration. What a great week of snow...  ;)

    Dude, great photos! Tell your wife this is going to be your holiday cards in 2024. 

    Cheers!

    Paging @jonjon @nj2va

    you guys have a lotta experience up in the mountains.  Tomorrow I could go ski up at whitegrass in Canaan valley, you think driving up there tomorrow morning in a 4wd crv with just regular tires (not snow tires) would be ok?

    Yeah, I think you’d be ok if you’re comfortable driving in snow. This stuff is so fluffy / high ratio that I think you’d be fine. If you’re nervous you could take the “long” way on interstate 68 then down 219 to Canaan vs going up through WV. I think MD does better with the roads than WV but should be ok. It’s gonna be COLD with blowing winds that will pose hazardous at times due to blowing snow.

    Enjoying the last weekend of deep winter up here before we relax the pattern.  Its been ramping up all day long, the last couple squalls being the best to watch.  When the wind eases up, its eerily quiet outside with all the snowcover

    This one is awesome that’s going on now. Silver dollar dendrites and ripping. Good time to get into the hot tub.
     

    18 chilly degrees.
