    Gimme that for the first half of February. Seasonal but with one good track storm with a clean snow. I'd be ready for spring then
  2. BlizzardNole
    Your area got nailed last February too, congrats! How rare are 12-inch snowfalls in back-to-back years there? We've gone 10 years now without one in the DC/Balt region.

    How disruptive would 8-12" be in that area? I can't imagine they have many plows? Our daughter is in Morehead City. Sorry of the off-topic SE forum folks! Hope you get a good storm.

    Man, Norfolk area snow lovers living the good life! They got that 12" storm last Feb and about 17" for the winter which blew away central MD's paltry total last year. Now they're looking at another 8-12" storm. Last weekend's storm here with 6.5 snow then some sleet was the most since 2019, but I wish we could get a 8-12 all snow here.

    This reminds me of the winter of '77 in MD where we got a moderate snow of around 6" with a crust of ice followed by weeks of frigid and dry. The glacier lasted for weeks and January was an incredible -12 departure at DCA, but it lacked in the total snow department.

    Can't believe the Challenger tragedy was 40 years ago today. I remember it so clearly - I was at Florida State and everyone was just stunned silent walking around campus and some crying.

    Two years ago today at DCA

    I measured 6.5 snow and 3.5 sleet which aligns perfectly with official reports of 10.8 from Clarksburg and 9.2 from Germantown on either side of my spot.

    My sister in California, MD says freezing rain there now and a glaze already developing. Nearby temps are 26 at St. Mary's Airport and 28 at Pax River. Not good with lots of precip to go!

    Just think, since sleet has a 3:1 ratio, multiply by 4 if it was powder snow. Dang!
  11. BlizzardNole
    Yes! It put a pile in front of the garage which my snowblower really choked on. Glad I moved it or we'd have had a big ice speed bump at the entrance of our garage for two weeks LOL

    So far 1.5 sleet (snow was 6.5); depth 7.5 so not compacting too much. Moderate sleet and 19 degrees

    So glad the Baltimore region finally got a big storm after 10 years! I know it's a Nina, but here's to a good old fashioned GulfMex baby coming up the coast as the cold pattern relaxes. Sleet dust (thanks to BobChill for the new p-type term ) and 18 degrees

    From NWS obs -- Elkins poking up into that warm nose? Compare to Hot Springs, wow. Oakland looks blizzardy OAKLAND* SNOW 5 1 85 SE28G41 29.89F VSB 1/4 WCI -18 HOT SPRINGS* SNOW 8 5 86 E18 29.88F VSB 1/2 WCI -11 ELKINS FRZ RAIN 31 25 78 SE14G22

    It turned to sleet right as I finished clearing my driveway of 6.5" of snow at 9 am, so I'll be able to get a good sleet measurement. Currently 19 with dry sleet
  16. BlizzardNole
    My wants: First 6" snow since 2019 -- CHECK! 6.5" and sleet now. I hope the 10-year drought folks reach 6" Heavy daytime snow -- CHECK! Glad the flip held off so I could have that
  17. BlizzardNole
    That's gotta be some fast sledding! Hope you hold onto sleet as long as possible. Just flipped to all sleet in Germantown
  18. BlizzardNole
    I hope it's that after the flip and not freezing rain! My p&c holds off freezing rain until this evening Mod snow, about 4" and 14 degrees (Germantown)
  19. BlizzardNole
    18 degrees in Germantown with moon and stars visible through thin clouds. We will see if we break the seven-year streak of no 6-plus inch snows here.
  20. BlizzardNole
    I'm going to be watching closely for the flip to ice so I can leave a little snow on the driveway under the ice so I can scrape it off later. If ice glaze gets on bare driveway with the temps coming up, forget it!

    We are moving from a house with natural gas heat and cheap Potomac Ed electric to one with heat pump only and higher SMECO rates. Winter bills will be ugly! We're doing a pre-final walk-through today - we'll get to see how that heat pump handles 10 F
  22. BlizzardNole
    I'm amazed by how cold it looks for days and days after this event! Imagine if something pops up in medium range next week like a strong clipper. Or if we get one of those deals where a big system forms as the cold pattern starts to relax.
  23. BlizzardNole
    I get ya. I am in read-only mode over there and do my blabbing here

    In 1994 we had a devastating ice storm with 2 inches of solid ice. At times, we had moderate rain and 18 degrees! It was due to the cold layer being shallow enough for the rain to reach the ground as liquid despite such low surface temps. I this upcoming storm, hopefully the cold layer is thick enough to freeze the raindrops into sleet!

    Highs in the low to mid 80s in south FL the next few days! So different from the typical cold blast in the east where south FL is in the 50s. Anyone that booked a trip to FL this weekend got their money's worth
