  1. 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!
  2. 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...
  3. 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
  4. 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
  5. Winds kicking back up for some more roof effect snow squalls, 24 degrees. Got to take this in and maybe a walk later before the big warmup starts
  6. Occasional gusts and 25 degrees. Looking forward to football and watching roof effect squalls out the windows
  7. 20 degrees and getting breezy. We're in a neighborhood with small yards, so lots of roofs for snow to blow off of making it look like a squall at times. Very wintry day!
  8. 12/11/23: 1.5 12/14: 0.2 1/15-16: 4.5 1/19: 6.3 Total: 12.5
  9. If you have some good binoculars, focus on something a few hundred feet away and you get that effect you see in stadiums where it looks like its snowing much, much heavier than it actually is. Just stare at that for a while
  10. Wow talk about perfect timing, congrats! Pretty neat to be trudging around in snow today knowing you'll be sitting under coconut palms tomorrow Snow picking up a bit in Germantown with about 4" new (based on nearby reports)
  11. OT but when I walked up 1st Street to Union Station in DC on Wednesday, I saw icicles more than 2 feet long hanging from an overpass above the street. Yikes when those melt and give way Light snow and 28 in Germantown
  12. Seems like they "close" easier now, like Tuesday, but we just telework when closed
  13. Daytime light snow with 1-2 inches on top of snow on the ground sounds like a beautiful winter day!
  14. We would take our late month warm-up like champs and get ready for February. This sub needed this week so badly
  15. That's what my fed gov office does -- we don't close any more, everyone teleworks today. Even if we had a blizzard again with several days "closed" we still work. Good tradeoff with the WFH flexibility we get Got a touch of frz drizzle coming down now
  16. Measured 4" near Germantown. Glad I left the deck lights up
  17. In our area of central MD we got a good 8-10 inch storm in January 2019, which is my last significant snow before this (missed 2022). North Balti's area must have missed out on that too. Hope they really get nailed this time Eyeballing 3.5 and mod snow
  18. That was a nice one! 2019 was the last time I had a significant (5" plus) snow. That's a long stretch. Lt snow and about 1.25" here
  19. Ha! That's my office building over there. We once had a Gonzaga grad who had a window office on that end that could see his old school's team at practice
  20. Very light snow started back up which doesn't show on radar; 25 degrees
  21. That's a nice snow there! It should stay on the ground with tonight's added. Snow on snow! Got about 1/3 of an inch of powder in Germantown
  22. Winding down now with a nice dusting on all but streets. On to Tuesday! Hoping for a nice forum-wide event
  23. Nice dusting in Germantown. We're going to Calvert in a little while so I checked temps and saw mid 40s in DC and S and E. Are those right?
