Running Springs, CA knows how to do car-toppers

Obligatory deck pic Winter '23

Today was gorgeous! Some wild temp differences -- OC MD hit 67 at 8 am then fell all day with the sea breeze and was in 40s by late afternoon. At one point it was 47 right near the west end of the Bay Bridge and 77 like 10 miles west of there.

I was supposed to be near 60 now and it's just 44. Might be one of those times where cool and clouds hold on then it finally gets warm at 4 or 5 pm. We'll see

Found this while cleaning out the garage. Should I keep it, you know, just in case?

I went to Steamboat in Feb 1996 back when I used to ski -- I had the epic winter here then went there and saw what 5-6 feet of snow on the ground looks like. Oh and we had an 8" snow here a couple days before I went and another 8" snow a few days after I got back. What. A. Winter.

Got about 0.4 in Germantown. My niece's kiddos down in Calvert made a 6-inch tall snowman LOL #winter2023

DCA is going to end up about 53/38 for Jan with the lowest temp for the month of 29! What makes this so bad is the last three winters snowfall totals were 0.6, 5.4 and 13.2. HORRIBLE When talking about where to live for retirement I never wanted the Carolinas because I hated the idea of months of bare trees and dreary, windy, rainy coat-wearing weather, but with no snow most years. We have that HERE now! I'd rather be in a very warm place and travel once a winter for snow. [Sorry for bantering]

Ah, spring. Just watch us finally get blocking and big coastal low in mid-April with low 40s and rain

Yeah beware the snowblower curse! I got one after hurting my back in the big 2010 storms and it hardly snowed for 3 years. Got rid of it and 2014-2016 happened

Makes you wonder if what it would be like if that ridge was say 2,500

Nice pic and beautiful yard! Is that a hummingbird feeder you still have up?

I remember that! I was running errands around MontCo the day before with a short-sleeve shirt on as it was sunny and in the 60s. When I heard winter storm warning on the radio I laughed thinking no way its snows the next day. We got 6-7" in Germantown and it was beautiful how it stuck to the trees.

Ji said in the other thread that this is during his work trip to FL so it's locked in

You know it's dry when you walk the trash can out at 7 degrees and your breath hardly makes any mist! Funny thing is we might be firing up the grill next weekend

It's funny seeing Bangor, ME in the 50s right now

Wow you are hard core! It looks like you are on that show Life Below Zero Already down to 16 in Germantown

Got some brief flurries in Germantown

1.31 total; looks like some lollies over 2 right around the DC area. Oh what a winter storm this could have been!

Mod rain and 35 with over 0.6 now. It's just mid-November so it's fine but if it does this in January we riot
