katabatic

I'm already rising, so my high was 16.9 around 3:30 (or so I thought), fell to around 15 a few hours ago and is now 17.5 and continues to slowly rise. You may not be far behind.

Cold hi of 16.9 today. Remained mostly cloudy but no flakes.

1.9 this morning - like some others, didn't move much overnight. Still a few flurries dancing about capping a great weekend of winter.

It's 2.8 here with well over a foot otg. If it were to clear out and go calm, I would end up well below zero.

Interesting convo @ su casa for sure. Kinda like mine...a husband from Ecuador who now works at Wisp...as a ski lift operator. I can't make this shit up. His then 76 year old Mom was here last November when I got a foot - she never saw falling snow until then. It was fabulous watching her be just like a little kid. Altho I just can't understand why he didn't want to go tubing today lol.

I just finished shoveling (again) and had 2 squalls move through this afternoon and each one dropped at least an inch. Didn't expect the intensity that they've shown today as there has been multiple instances of true 0 visibility. A really nice overperformer and it's very cold: 5.8 above outside now. In keeping with the winter spirit, I have a big batch of beef and veggie soup on the menu for tonight. I came *this* close to chasing the L. Ontario LES band this weekend and am glad I stayed put.

You're my early warning detection lol. I got under that band and had over an inch in about 20 minutes and the temp fell to 7. Days like this make all life's problems kinda melt away (no pun intended). Great pic.

It’s now 9.3 degrees. This was a tough measure, but am going with 13.1”. Light snow continues with now a definite wind chill to deal with. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

11.6" so far, temp 13.3. Snow is total fluff now and continues to accumulate rapidly. Very little wind. Nice event after the blizzard bust from earlier in the week.

Right at 4" so far. Temp has fallen less than a degree since the snow started around 3 PM. 26.4 currently with just pixie dust but upstream radar looks pretty good. Been a fun winter's day.

Snow has begun in SW Garrett County. Next stop: you!

At a minimum, maybe what this means is as we cook Christmas dinner and the oven is on, we won't have to run the A/C like I've had to do more than once in Richmond.

Ended up with 3.1" overnight. Certainly a beautiful, frosty morning (temp now is 19.8, which is the calendar day's low so far) but never did we really experience blizzard conditions. The highlight, of course, tho was the loud thunder during the "peak" last evening. If you want to enjoy really good conditions at the ski resorts, and they are currently excellent, better do it in the next week. Oy vey, don't like what's coming.

Things have finally picked up. In the past couple of minutes, two incredibly loud claps of thunder occurred. The only other time I've experienced this was during a LES event off of Erie a few years ago. It sounded just like something you'd hear during the summer. Very, very cool. Maybe about a half-inch so far.

So the winds have gone completely calm, there is no snow on the ground (or falling from the sky) and temperatures are above freezing with no visibility restrictions. This isn't the kind of blizzard I had in mind.
