While it was mostly snow TV for me in Arlington, with some ‘accumulation’ on mulch/etc, definitely a memorable storm given Sandy previously + the snow totals for the NW suburbs, exurbs, and mountains.
That was the first year I started tracking storms on models and I remember thinking “geesh, what’s so hard about this...we keep getting perfect storm setups”.
Ahhh - then reality set up in subsequent winters...
Anyone get their thanksgiving turkeys from Shonuf Farm in Fulton, MD? They get good reviews and we’re looking to get a farm fresh turkey this year.

Yep, that’s fair. I haven’t noticed it as much this year since I’m still working from home - so I’m not up as early to commute. But when I was, it sucked.
Yes, their tentative opening date this year is Nov 22(ish), weather dependent. The number of trails open around NYE/Christmas is dependent on how much natural snow falls in December/if conditions support man-made snow too. We spend New Years at Deep Creek each year and spend a few days skiing. I think it was two (or three) years ago where we had about 12-15” of fresh snowfall during that time so it was great conditions. Last year was warm (relatively) and not the best conditions but it was still open.
They’re some of the best in the business. They’ll figure it out. It’ll make the forecast discussion more interesting since there will be way more mentions of snow throughout winter.
Yeah, 33 has been the coldest low so far. Forecast is upper 20s to low 30s in the county tonight.
multiple frosts but first widespread freeze tonight (freeze warning for Cumberland/west).
Nice! NWS Pitt is not nearly as good as LWX. Garrett County is also trying to get Baltimore stations added as an option out here since it’s all Pittsburgh tv stations.
It’s no surprise why school enrollment in public schools (at least around here in NoVA) is down this year. School leaders have failed students and parents IMO.
