  1. I'm estimating about 5" near Germantown, which correlates with reports from around me. Decent storm with grass fully covered and trees coated. I wish so many others in the area didn't get left out
  2. Eyeballing 4" in Germantown with a light snowshower adding to how pretty it looks with the trees coated.
  3. We had an 8" snow in Germantown on Dec. 5, 2003 with temps right at freezing, and when I got off the MARC in DC it was all rain. That same storm today would be rain in Germantown. Anywho, mod snow with 2" just NE of Germantown and 32 degrees
  4. Finally looks wintry out with roofs and grass coated and mod snow. Enjoying a smoked whiskey while watching
  5. Mom has heavy snow with huge cotton balls a few miles south of Dunkirk. Still just a light rain/snow mix in Germantown, hoping to win the IVT lottery later
  6. That reminds me of (I think) 2006 where we had off and on snizzle all day and were thinking bust, then rates picked up right at sunset and we got heavy, wet snow for several hours. Hoping for that tonight!
  7. After a lull got a few flakes again that started falling right when that goal went through. Stuck at 37
  8. Snow mixing in near Germantown despite light precip intensity. Good sign? Temp 37
  9. I drove to the Catoctins once in a marginal event where Germantown only had a slushy coating and I saw 6" and cotton ball sized flakes there. I only drove 33 miles. Can't wait to hear your obs Light rain, 37
  10. It looks more like the traditional better N&W of the Fall Line due to quicker changeover. Light rain and 37
  11. LOL if I have to chase to Calvert for this before even moving into the new house. Man, the S/E suburbs lately!
  12. I was in DC and rode the MARC home at the start of that -- it was snow despite upper 30s at the surface. No rain even in DC because the upper levels were so good. It seemed to snow for hours before even starting to stick though, and the first 3-4 inches that did stick were mashed potatoes
  13. This winter reminds me of 1977 when I was an elementary school kid. Long stretch of deep cold and ice-encrusted snow cover, but rather poor on the total snowfall amount.
  14. I have to call it disappointing with only about 10 inches of snow total despite so much cold. It could have been so much better if not for that damn warm nose on Jan 25. Now on seven straight winters of way below normal snow and 11 years since a big (12-inch plus) storm. Terrible.
  15. My nephew lives in Roseville, to the NE of Sacramento. One time he and his wife drove a couple hours to Tahoe to see 4-5 feet of snow on the ground, then drove home to 50s and sun. Man, CA makes me jealous
  16. Imagine being in a nice cabin in Tahoe this week. Dailylurker would hike in this Washington's Birthday Snow. High near 33. Calm wind becoming south around 5 mph in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 3 to 7 inches possible. Monday Night Snow. The snow could be heavy at times. Low around 16. Southwest wind around 10 mph, with gusts as high as 35 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 5 to 9 inches possible. Tuesday Snow. The snow could be heavy at times. High near 26. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 9 to 13 inches possible. Tuesday Night Snow. The snow could be heavy at times. Cloudy, with a low around 12. Wednesday Snow. The snow could be heavy at times. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 26.
  17. It's been a rough stretch. If we're done, I got about 10" total this winter and last winter and haven't hit average since 2019. Also have not seen a big (12-inch plus) snow since 2016. The longest gap before that was 6 years going back to 1979
  18. That was it for me. I know some get excited over long-lasting snowpack, but I am a snowfall bottom line guy. We got 2" qpf with temps in the teens and got 6.5" snow out of it. Meanwhile places like Pensacola, FL and Morehead City, NC got 10" and 16" clean snows the last two years
  19. I had no idea sunny and 40 could feel so warm! It's gonna take a long time for this ice/snowpack to melt
  20. You're in a good spot up there - South Mtn just to your east should help squeeze more out! Cloudy and 20 here
  21. Sorry! I'm thinking I'll get more thunderstorms in southern MD
  22. So right! We came soooo close if not for that pesky warm layer. We need a big dog 12-inch plus so bad! Here's the 12-plus inchers at my location: 1979, 1983, 1987, 1993 (not everywhere), 1996, 2000, 2003, 2006 (not everywhere), 2010, 2014, 2016. Average of once in 3.7 years and no gap longer than 6 years, and now we are sitting at a 10-year gap and counting. That all said, having a long-lasting snowpack in a Nina is a pretty big deal.
  23. I just cleared off our deck so the dog has some nice sun to sit in once we get to the 30s. Breaking up big bricks of ice and sliding them off the snow made me think of the beast of a snow fort kids could make with this stuff.
  24. Back in the 80s when I was a kid in Calvert, we had 6" of snow with a half inch ice glaze on top. We had a bright full moon with temps in the teens one night and it looked like a different planet with the shiny, silver landscape as far as you could see. We were taking 2-foot squares of ice and sliding them down a long hill. You could hear them sliding into the woods hundreds of feet away.
  25. Funny thing about that is even Pensacola got a better snow (10") last year than we have had in 10 years here
