Wow you're in summer form already? We're actually really wet here. We do fine in synoptic rain; it's the summer t-storms we mostly miss due to orographics

A beautiful day but no walks for me for a while as I just had surgery for a torn achilles. I love gardening too but that's not looking good! Partly sunny and 58. I know it's been said a lot but we so better not get a perfect block and a gulf/east coast low in April for low 40s and rain for two days

Presidents' Day Storm of 1979 -- Most Memorable Snowstorm Ever
BlizzardNole replied to RodneyS's topic in Mid Atlantic
Yes much lesser amounts out west with just a few inches Hagerstown to Winchester. It was like a monster version of Jan 2000 with the heaviest amounts by the Bay. -
Presidents' Day Storm of 1979 -- Most Memorable Snowstorm Ever
BlizzardNole replied to RodneyS's topic in Mid Atlantic
I experienced 1996, 2010 and 2016 in upper MontCo, and PD 1979 surpasses them all! I was 12 and in northern Calvert which was the jackpot of the region with 30-plus inch amounts, reports of 6" in one hour, and 8 foot drifts. My mom and a friend staying with us went out at the height of the storm at around 5 am to the street about 100 feet away. They almost got lost coming back to the house and said it was snowing sideways so intensely, it was tough to breathe. I got up around 6 am and the first thing I noticed was the deck banisters cleared off and asked why'd you clear those. Mom says oh that's the wind....go look outside. I just stood there in awe of a white hurricane with winds that must have been gusting over 60 and snow filling the air completely. After the sun came up you could see how wild it was -- there are woods about 70 feet behind the house and you could not see them at all. It was just a steady roar and whiteout. After it was over there was an unbroken drift from the roof to the ground on one side. Cars were nothing but lumps. It hit the low 40s the next two days and mid-50s three days later and the ground when it all melted was like the mud season they have up in VT. You could not walk on the grass!- 35 replies

What Went Wrong in Winter 23-24/Base State/Will It Ever Snow Again??
BlizzardNole replied to WxUSAF's topic in Mid Atlantic
Wow nice info! Congrats on finding a nice place. I guess Wintergreen, Massanutten or even Snowshoe are within reasonable reach for a snow fix? -
What Went Wrong in Winter 23-24/Base State/Will It Ever Snow Again??
BlizzardNole replied to WxUSAF's topic in Mid Atlantic
We are nearing retirement and want a big yard after living in a packed development for decades. My wife is pushing for lower southern MD where my parents and sibs are and where property is cheaper. 10 or 15 years ago that would have scared the heck outta me having grown up in Calvert. Now though? Nah, what's the difference living SE of the "new Richmond" compared to NW. -

Late Feb/March Medium/Long Range Discussion
BlizzardNole replied to WinterWxLuvr's topic in Mid Atlantic
We are so due for a classic Gulf and up the coast with temps in the 20s throughout and I was convinced we'd get one at some point this winter with the nino. The clock is starting to run out -

Thanks for posting that radar loop. What a crazy band! There are places near/just S of Allentown with over a foot and with places 10-20 miles away on either side with amounts like we got -
The Weekend Rule? Saturday 2/17 - The Icon Storm
BlizzardNole replied to DDweatherman's topic in Mid Atlantic
I drove to near Reading, PA yesterday to get our new puppy and there were spots along the turnpike east of Harrisburg that had 5-6" old snow on the ground. Man! Eyeballing about 2" near Germantown. Trees are beautiful -

That was me! I'm 57. It's so nice to have a whole community to talk weather with on here. All I had was weather on the news and my Bearcat weather radio I'm hoping this one surprises a la 3/9/99 -

Sun's out and the half inch of wet snow has melted into little slush balls. With the green grass it looks like we've had a hailstorm -

Snow ending with a good half inch coating on grass and roofs. It's more than I expected a couple days ago so I'll take it! -

Jan/Early Feb Medium/Long Range Discussion Part 3
BlizzardNole replied to WinterWxLuvr's topic in Mid Atlantic
We sure are overdue! Epic dumps (some did not hit the whole region): 1979, 1983, 1987, 1993, 1996, 2000, 2003, 2010 (2), 2016 -- every 4th to 5th winter on average with the longest stretches being 7 and 6 years. Now we are at 8 years... -
Went for a long walk, whew hot! We're gonna grill up some burgers later with some ice cold beers. Can't believe I was running my snow blower 7 days ago Poor Philly stuck in the 40s

Still struggling to get out of the 20s I just dug out the downspouts and splashguards so the big melt doesn't back up. One house behind us has huge icicles on one stretch of gutter. They must have a clog in that one
