  1. My outside gage is reporting 23 in Annandale. Damn I forget what the 2nd number is?
  2. Does the NWS have secret alien technology that we are not aware of. Asking for a friend.
  3. A winter wonderland. It's been a long time coming.
  4. Kinda disappointed. No Bus, no snow maps, no radio show.
  5. Do counting flakes count? Asking for a friend. Oh I counted one. Don’t remember the time sorry.
  6. Surprised there is no frost warning. Things are budding out all over northern VA.
  7. No, been in the same place for 36 years. The nearest "place" for me is Annandale.
  8. Thx for the link Mappy. 38.830509, -77.196152
  9. Car topper in Annandale. Tiny flakes of snow coming down at a moderate clip.
  10. Damn, they are even gerrymandering geological maps now.
  11. Nice surprise this morning. And we didn't have to track it for 2 weeks.
  12. What would you know about such things?
  13. This about sums up this winter for me. I'll probably put it in my sig.
  14. Nothing to report. In fact I’ve had nothing to report for the past 7 days. I guess this winter it’s time for DC and south to be the snow hole capital of MA. Nice pics from those who are enjoying the winter. Temp: 35.5.
  15. Haven't seen this view from my kitchen window is 2 years. Winter Wonderland for sure, but certainly not what was forecasted.

  17. I thought that the Snowmageddon event (both storms) would be the top of my list for a very long time. But I was still working and as a government contractor, I was considered essential and got permission to work from home for 4 days. The problem: the agency's aging servers could not keep up with the VM demands of everyone telecommuting and I lost a lot of work when everything crashed. Very stressful, and it took any joy out of enjoying the wondrous snowscape. But this storm for me is very different. I'm retired, and my calendar is clear for the next couple of days. While my neighbors are digging out thinking they will go to work Monday (and with no snowplow in sight), I'm chillin in a hot bathtub with a cup of my favorite coffee and listening to some quality jazz. Later, I'll venture out with my Canon to take some quality pictures. This storm had everything: a fun-filled 5 days of tracking with moments of high drama (fooking Euro); early start, and for some of us, moments of disappointment (DT, please!) with a 5 hour lull in DC followed by a stunning display of nature's fury. I sit with 2' and a 5 foot drift on my left side that's past the windowsills. It's just glorious, and I can savor the beauty for many, many days.
