  1. Low of 15 here also where it stayed most of the night. Teens all the way to the Carolina coast!
  2. 15 degrees with gusty winds and a frozen landscape. Our 12 pound doodle was not happy going out to do her business! Some relatives arriving back to DCA this evening after a week in Key West -- hope they are prepared LOL
  3. I just scraped the driveway and damn that stuff is dense! Oh what could have been with good temps and powder
  4. Subsidence kills! OT but in that Jan 25, 2000 storm I was stuck between two huge bands for hours and ended up with 7" while places to my west and east had 15-plus
  5. Brutal gradient in MontCo. I have about 2" just NE of Germantown while there's a 4.8" report from only about 3 miles from me between Clarksburg and Damascus
  6. Wow 1.3"! I'm just down the road near the interx of Ridge Road and 355 (Milestone) and have just a coating. I'd like to see what the high spots in Damascus are doing
  7. Moderate snow with about a quarter inch on grass and starting to stick on less salty parts of the streets, 34 degrees (a little NE of Germantown)
  8. I tried to find a pic of my late 70s Bearcat weather radio - it was off white with an orange on/off button. That's all I had, along with local news and 936-1212 LOL I'm getting more hopeful for the snow with latest models. Let's keep the good trends going and fill that gap in the western part of our forum!
  9. With afternoon temps well into the 40s you're probably looking at just wet roads on the drive home. Roads might be dicey after midnight though!
  10. This run fits our new climo with the favored S&E suburbs. My Calvert folks got like 2.5 times as much snow as me last winter and I expect that to continue.
  11. Thanks for bringing that memory up; Now I have start drinking early! I drove up from Orlando for that game and got a bad sunburn along with the crushing loss Starting to get hopeful for Saturday night!
  12. Enjoy! That's the way if you live in this area -- go north or south if you want snow
  13. I was in northern Calvert for the absurd 1994 ice storms. We had three inches of solid glaze ice and the damage was terrible. Whole trees collapsed and some people had no elec or water for days. My parents' tree line took years to look normal again
  14. I've been in MontCo for 32 years and have family in southern MD. I think the winter climo has changed where being in the "northern and western suburbs" is no longer an advantage. Marginal, mixed events are further north and we miss the southern sliders/coastal scrapers, leaving a snowfall minima in the center of our region.
  15. Welp, we got snow on Dec. 5 in 2002 and 2009 and those winters turned out pretty good And look at some of the winters ending in a 6: 1966, 1996, 2016...
  16. It's been wild lately. I got about 10" total last winter in Germantown while relatives in Calvert got like 20-25; I think you all got even less than me? Southern MD also got a real big one a couple years ago that we missed. It seems like a new climo where rain/snow line is way NW of where it used to be, and then you miss the southern sliders and coastal scrapers.
  17. Parents' place in northern Calvert County
  18. Snowing and 27 in Germantown, about 1/3" on the ground. Haven't other winters with first snows on Dec. 5 turned out pretty good?
  19. You relegated the half-n-half to a bottom shelf -- yeah you're doing it right! 33 and dropping; hoping for some Dec. 5 magic
  20. Nice map! Virginia living right: UVA in ACC championship and chance for playoffs, VT has shiny new coach, and SNOW
  21. Parts of the area also got snow on 12/5/2003. That was back when N&W suburbs meant something. I had like 8" in Germantown and rode the MARC to DC for work and it was wet ground there
  22. MoCo-HoCo band! It's missing the 5 inch lolli over Mt. PSU though
  23. Me too. An inch of snow out of this set-up this early in the season and I am thrilled
  24. I was also 12 living in northern Calvert County! Best storm of them all for me and I was in Germantown for 1996, 2010 and 2016. Calvert was hardest hit with well over 30 inches and howling winds. At times we could not see the woods 50 feet behind the house. We had drifts off the roof that linked with the ground, and cars were just lumps.
  25. That big Ohio State - Michigan showdown came so close to being a full-on snow game. Game is at noon and heavy snow moves in there by evening and goes all night.
