At its core, this board does one thing: bring people together united by our love of weather who otherwise wouldn't know each other existed. You are a sterling (no pun intended) example of an awesome human being who happens to love weather. I had an amazing time staying up until 2 am talking about weather and appreciate your patience as I asked forty million questions about my passion, lake effect snow. I am no met scientist and know my lane here and appreciate the fact you let me take a drive in yours. That intercept up at Keysers Ridge is on my short list of all time weather experiences. Heck, Justin Berk loved it and reposted a pic of us getting crushed! The mark of a good time is answering a single question: would you do it again? Hell yeah, times a thousand. My door is wide open for you any time, any day.

Based on several highly unscientific measurements/observations, I'm going to call it at 7". That could be wildly inaccurate but it's impossible to measure. Temps have leveled off around 2 with winds in the 25 mph range. The squall intercept last night with @MillvilleWx at Keysers Ridge was just frickin' epic and as I told @NorthArlington101 it was truly a high-end Great Lakes-esque experience. The difference is it lasted 20 minutes here and the Great Lakes would've lasted for 2 days lol. I'm still trying to organize some victims, er volunteers, for tubing tonight at Canaan. Any takers?

My Dad lives in Midlothian and he reported a very surprised 3.5".

Beautiful scene at Swallow Falls. @Millvillewx was in his element.

Hell yeah! I absolutely LIVE FOR THIS! I must say tho my offer to go tubing at Canaan Saturday night hasn't had many takers, unfortunately. I've promised the hubby a puppy if he'd go but given he's been outside 10 hours a day for weeks on end at Wisp, even the promise of a lil muffin isn't moving the needle. If anyone is around, lemme know and I'll pay for the ticket lol.

I like the way you think! Pretty sure we'll at least try to get to Davis tomorrow afternoon. Don't have a death wish, so we'll see but there is nothing like a solo drive on 90 getting to Thomas in the snow from Oakland. I think that ~13 mile stretch might be my favorite drive around here. Had a nice visit to Stumptown a few weeks ago and if we're in the hood, we'll stop by again.

Temp this morning here was -5.6 so a hint of things to come. Just got upgraded to a Warning with 6-8" and up to 60 mph winds. Still not completely sold on that kind of accumulation with Huron mostly and Erie especially closed for business. While this is nothing historic of course, it's still going to be a pretty solid ~24 hours out here in the Boonies.

Cracked freezing today for the first time in 13 days altho not by much (hi was 34). I must say it feels like it's about 60 out lol. Amazing how the body adjusts to temps.

I was surprised that I got down to -16.8 last weekend...usually Bittinger does a little better than I do. Tell folks you need to do some serious QA for the mesonet sites and come out with us

If anyone wants to come out, @MillvilleWx and I are going to do the local chase thing...and I got room in my truck for others. Heading to Keyser's Ridge and probably on to Davis and a few spots in between. Waterfalls are completely frozen and you could build a house on Deep Creek the ice is so solid. Great pics if nothing else. Should be an intense few hours during the peak of this thing as well.

What goods there are, are down in your 'hood. My WWA was canceled although I have what I would describe as a heavy dusting (less than 1/2") with very light snow continuing. I'd love it if you got a couple inches!

Heck yeah! I'd love to meet up. I'll PM you my digits.

Hi in the mid teens. Beautiful scene today at Swallow Falls (Garrett County MD)

If anyone has an interest in coming out to the mountains next weekend, looks like we're going to get a solid upslope event. Conditions at the resorts are absolutely ideal as I'm sure you can imagine and stand to get even better after this week. Heading out soon to get some pics of the frozen waterfalls (another below zero night last night) at Swallow Falls and then on to Blackwater Falls.

Made it down to -16.8 before the sun was fully up.
