  1. 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
  2. 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
  3. Occasional gusts and 25 degrees. Looking forward to football and watching roof effect squalls out the windows
  4. 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!
  5. 12/11/23: 1.5 12/14: 0.2 1/15-16: 4.5 1/19: 6.3 Total: 12.5
  6. 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
  7. 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)
  8. 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
  9. Seems like they "close" easier now, like Tuesday, but we just telework when closed
  10. Daytime light snow with 1-2 inches on top of snow on the ground sounds like a beautiful winter day!
  11. We would take our late month warm-up like champs and get ready for February. This sub needed this week so badly
  12. 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
  13. Measured 4" near Germantown. Glad I left the deck lights up
  14. 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
  15. 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
  16. 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
  17. Very light snow started back up which doesn't show on radar; 25 degrees
  18. 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
  19. Winding down now with a nice dusting on all but streets. On to Tuesday! Hoping for a nice forum-wide event
  20. 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?
  21. OT; I work with a guy that grew up just N of Buffalo. He told me once he drove to the southtowns and went from dry ground to over a foot and heavy snow in just a few miles. Did his errand and went back home to partly sunny and dry ground. That's bats!
  22. I left southern MD to be in the N&W burbs 30 years ago and it's paid off a number of times. Now nearing retirement we want a big yard (like yours) and my wife has been floating the idea of Calvert where much of my family is. Uh yikes? But snow is rare even here now so it might not really matter
  23. I haven't been paying attention and didn't know the deep south has WSWs up. Memphis is looking at up to 6 inches of cold smoke with temps in the teens and low 20s. Damn
  24. Darn no blizzard game now -- guess we settle for "Ice Bowl II" at Kansas City tonight. They found a window Monday afternoon where the snow stops then it snows again from later that night until......FRIDAY
