3/12 Event: Winters Last Hurrah at Least East of Mountains
BlizzardNole replied to Weather Will's topic in Mid Atlantic
Mod snow in Germantown and eyeballing about 1.5" Getting some good gusts here and there -
3/12 Event: Winters Last Hurrah at Least East of Mountains

Back to moderate snow in Germantown with about a half inch and starting to stick on streets. The unexpected part is almost no wind -

Down to 32 now but sleet mixed back in after all snow for a half hour. Wasn't expecting that! Solid dusting on grass -

Already changing over to snow near Germantown. My bar is I just want to see a period of heavy snow which I have not seen this winter. -

Near Germantown went from rain and 40 a half hour ago to sleet and 37 now -

This is looking exciting and could be like a miniature version of the 2011 "Hoffman Storm" with rain changing to wind-blown heavy snow. Should be fun. Oh and how about sunny and 60s from Tuesday onward next week? Gimme some of that! -

Ha! Try being a 70s weenie and running home from school to flip on the ol' Bearcat weather radio. Then you have to wait through the darn river stages being read off before you get your updated forecast -

Congrats! After living through Calvert winters, you deserve it (I grew up in Owings) -
Gaithersburg jumped from 43 to 58 between 4 am and 5 am

Still chilly out but looking forward to 60s this afternoon to do some garden clean-up. Gorgeous temps tomorrow and Monday, but I'd give up 10 degrees each day for less wind! Gimme a huge SE ridge for the second half of March

2022 Mid-Atlantic Garden, Lawn, and Other Green Stuff Thread
BlizzardNole replied to mattie g's topic in Mid Atlantic
Got my tropical milkweeds started yesterday. You'd think "weeds" would be easy but the darn things are hard to germinate so I put three seeds in each cell. I grow these for the Monarchs but the hummingbirds absolutely love them. Speaking of herbs -- I'm going to add parsley, rue and maybe fennel for more swallowtails.- 137 replies

Just had a brief snow shower with gusts of over 40. Those squalls heading for the Trenton, NJ area must be intense based on radar!
-
Wow this wind is roaring! PAX at 70 degrees at 6 am while Cumberland 37. Falling quickly thru low 50s here. A house two streets over has one of those motion detector lights over the garage door as bright as the dang sun, and it keeps coming on from wind. I feel for the two houses directly across the street from that darn thing!
-
Yes please! Can't wait to get the garden going soon.
-
I can see how those squalls have been heavy where they hit flush -- we caught the west edge of a teeny snow shower and the sky stayed partly blue, but it was a better snow rate than during yesterday's inch. Only snowed a couple minutes but it whitened sidewalks/streets.

2022 Mid-Atlantic Garden, Lawn, and Other Green Stuff Thread
BlizzardNole replied to mattie g's topic in Mid Atlantic
Ordered some tropical milkweed seeds and I overwintered two cherished lantanas inside. I was really happy with the new sterile Bloomify lantanas last year that got 20" tall by 30" wide by September. Hummingbirds and butterflies love them! This winter was dreary and the third straight without a big snow. I'm done and hoping for massive torch for late Feb into March. Bring on spring!- 137 replies

I can't believe how bad my area (near Germantown) got blown out by my family's area in northern and central Calvert. Man they got 12-15 on Jan 3 and another good one last weekend. If we don't get another chance this will be three straight winters without a significant snow.
-
Yeah I've seen that -- something like 50s to -2 in a short period. Denver once had a deal where an arctic airmass to the east had a "bathtub effect" where it was banking up and down against the Rockies, and Denver oscillated between near zero to 40s in minutes, several times in one day.

About a half inch in Germantown. Hope we get another chance because I haven't had a 6" snow since 2019. Visiting Calvert tomorrow and it looks like they got 4-5 on snowfall reports map -

Such nice looking flakes for 37 degrees -- the conditions upstairs must be great. Trying hard not to look at forecasts for the coast -

If that map verified Calvert County would have triple the snowfall to date compared to places like Frederick -
Late January and February Medium/Long Range Discussion
BlizzardNole replied to WinterWxLuvr's topic in Mid Atlantic
Enjoy! We went to Puerto Rico Jan. 8-15 and it was a thrill to take off at 18 degrees and land at 83. Then we got back in time to enjoy the 3" on the 16th before it switched. Man I wish that one had a better track!- 4,130 replies

I read about that somewhere and remember a quote like "...36 inches deep on a level." To have a snow depth of 36" the snowfall amounts by today's measuring must have been in the 45" range!
