    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.
  6. katabatic
    More or less normal.

    It's a bit deceptive outside now at least imby in southwest Garrett County. Temp is 44 with the sun shining - hardly what you would expect for a blizzard warning (begins in 45 minutes). In fact, the last blizzard warning I had last winter, the day ended up being sunny for 90% of it with next to no snow and very moderate winds. But today, I've had multiple gusts exceed 50 MPH and if/when the snow begins, it'll be tough going. So...bring it!

    Ehhh just draw a second line on your Covid test and c'mon out.

    View from my hubbys “office” today at the top of Wisp. Let’s see what it looks like tomorrow.

    Looks like tomorrow and especially tomorrow night out here on the Allegheny Front will be interesting. We've just been upgraded to a Blizzard Warning.

    My Dad lives in Midlo (I used to...Midlo class of '95) and you've now had more snow than I have in the Appalachian snowbelt.

    I can see why the snow is having trouble finding its way north. My DP at 7 AM was 21. Now, it's a whopping 2. Talk about a beat down.
  13. katabatic
    Temp is 33 and steady (if light) snow. Not amounting to much given the marginal temps, but it sure beats 38 and rain. Maybe some of this energy makes it over the hills?

    It's a winter day! Love seeing your reports. My Dad in Midlothian measured just shy of 3". And while nothing imby other than a few flurries dancing about, it's been a perfect day for Wisp's opening. Temps holding in the mid 20s. Love it.

    Wisp is looking good for opening day tomorrow. Employees there are all working OT to get ready. Temp in the low 20s means the guns will be going all night. My hubby is a lift operator and has created several playlists of awesome music to play on his portable Bose speaker at his station - kinda become a thing there to add to the party atmosphere. Fun times coming!

    You're in a good spot - I seriously hope you overperform. My Dad (Midlothian outside of Richmond) is too. I doubt I'll see much more than conversation flakes, but boy it's been cold here. Parts of Broadford Lake (poor man's Deep Creek near my house) are starting to ice over even. Hi of 26 yesterday and currently sitting at 23 with a thick overcast.

    Ended up with 2.4". Temp now 25 with snizzle and a stiff breeze. Went out to dinner and yeah, winter is here. Wisp opens Friday and the hubby and his team are excited for a great start to the season.

    *this* close in your yard, dangit. Kinda like what others have mentioned tho, it's nice to see this having some precip and not just a shredded out virga mess. Temps here have leveled off at around 30.6 for the last hour or so. Huge dendrites now accumulating rapidly - probably 3/4 inch in the last half hour. What's nice is not a breath of wind.
  19. katabatic
    @EskimoJoe from my front porch. About an inch so far but that was on either side of about 45 minutes of ZR.
  20. katabatic
    Maybe some hope for our northern/western friends? Flipped back to snow here in southwest Garrett County. Temp slowly rising tho to 30.7.
  21. katabatic
    Snow didn't last very long. Maybe 1/2 inch before the flip to ZR. Temp 30 on the nose.
  22. katabatic
    Steady snow with good size flakes. Temp went from 30.6 to 27.9….solid coating thus far.
  23. katabatic
    Same story out in Garrett County. Was 26.1 about an hour and a half ago, now it's 27.5. It'll be interesting to see if we can hang on to the snow.
  24. katabatic
    10.8 this morning. Coldest so far this year by 6 degrees.
  25. katabatic
    I’m really hoping my reports will be needed this winter!
