    I wonder if there should be a NW/SE division for Frederick and Carroll Counties? (Sorry if there already are). There will be a big difference between say Urbana and Thurmont

    I forgot about that Jan. 2022 storm! It nailed Calvert where some of my family lives, whereas here in Germantown my last big snow was 2019. I'm hoping for luck with Saturday's system. In 1978 (in central PG County) we had a system predicted to be brief period of snow then all rain. We got a surprise three hour thump that gave us 5-6 inches, then drizzle

    My gosh look at that gradient over just the 23 miles between Damascus at the top of Mont Co and Silver Spring!

    Saw a few flakes on my walk just now. Hoppy New Years everyone! (Not a typo - got some Torpedo IPA chilling in the fridge )

    Ah 1979! I was in northern Calvert and it's my best ever - even beating all my MontCo events (1996, 2003, 2010 and 2016). It was like a hurricane of snow with easily 30 inches with 6-foot drifts. There was a period where we could not see the woods 50 feet behind the house and got 6" in one hour. Wind gusts 60-plus. I was there for 1983 - dry slot got us. Missed 1987 in FL. 1993 was a gut punch with 6" then driving rain

    THIS! I was a snow weenie in the late 70s/80s and all I had was TV weather folks and my Bearcat weather radio LOL. I can't say enough how much I appreciate the mets and forecasting experts on this board Whatever happens happens next weekend but I am confident that we will get a couple good events out of this winter

    2.2 near Germantown and having it fall over all those hours makes it a perfect soaker

    Just noticed that the Miami Hurricanes are in Yankee Stadium for their bowl game against Rutgers on Dec. 28 -- can we get the coldest possible arctic airmass for that day please? Snow would be fantastic

    I know we all wish this was snow but I am pretty happy for the rainfall amounts from that last storm and now this one looking like a good 2-3" or more to put another dent in these departures. I feel like even without ideal set-ups, getting regular storms like this we are going to hit on one or two of them for some good snow

    More important that any indices or teleconnections. We're good!

    2018/19 was a nice winter with close to 30" total for me. Sign me up!

    I was wondering about that too with much smaller amounts nearby, but maybe a lucky heavy burst? It's just curious though right on the water. Some good measurements in southern MD though, for example a couple inches in LaPlata (hi diatae!) Got 1.5 in Germantown which triples last winter's total MoCo schools delayed so my wife's preschool is closed. That's a gift since she's dealing with a bad cold and does not get paid on sick days

    Yeah just a light rain event, never had more than brief moderate rain although the thunder this morning was nice. Rainfall east of the bay looks impressive

    A number of years ago I drove to South Mountain Park in a similar setup and went from wet ground to 5" of snow and big cottonball flakes coming down. It was just 33 miles from my house. I was struck by how little snow was OTG close by near Frederick in the snow shadow Rain and 56

    Thunder in Germantown! It's a treat for us because thunderstorms are so rare here in summer due to rain shadow -- I might get two or three over a whole season if I'm lucky
  16. BlizzardNole
    We had a nice snow shower at 10:20 am yesterday near Germantown. For a few seconds it was moderate snow
  17. BlizzardNole
    Some light flurries near Germantown

    SNOW GAME! Iowa State at Kansas State, 8 PM tonight (Fox). This should be fun to check out: Today: Snow, mainly after 11am. The snow could be heavy at times. High near 30. Total daytime snow accumulation of 3 to 5 inches possible. Tonight: Snow, mainly before midnight. Low around 18. New snow accumulation of 2 to 4 inches possible.

    What a shock going from near 80 yesterday to low 40s now. Glad we're getting some rain though
  20. BlizzardNole
    I'd love that! I enjoy the occasional winter storm but do not like the six months of depressing bare trees and dreariness at all Sunny and still 80 at 5 pm
  21. BlizzardNole
    37 here and frost on some roofs but not on grass. It's funny seeing temps in the low to mid 50s in Garrett County as the heat wave starts to roll in
  22. BlizzardNole
    Yeah that better not happen this winter! Just over 0.5 here

    Drippy droppy day as we get ready to get the crockpot going, the beers chilled and an all-day football marathon I found a monarch chrysalis on hanging from our fence and it's hatching this morning. With periods of rain and highs only in the 50s, it's going to be a guest for a few days!

    I believe that's right -- October 10, 1979. I was in middle school in Calvert County and everyone was stunned seeing 2-3" of snow on the ground and still-green trees. Can't believe it's been 44 years!

    Cloudy and 69 as our mini heat wave comes to an end. We got a surprise light shower last night. Yesterday evening my wife asks should we cover the deck chairs and I'm like nah. Oops
