    Despite a forecast for rising temperatures overnight, DCL bottomed out around -7 and strung together a fourth consecutive night of subzero temperatures. The zero reading in Leesburg this morning was the coldest of the series here.

    Cabin at Deep Creek bottomed out at -12.8 this morning. This is the lowest observation there since 2022. The below zero readings for three consecutive nights is unprecedented for me during my time at this property going back to 2021. Impressive cold!

    Light snow and calm wind at Deep Creek. 18.2 / 9.3

    The wind keeping the lake churned up last weekend was pretty much the only thing keeping it from freezing over. I assume it will be solid and snow covered at some point this weekend. Every time I check my cameras, it’s snowing.

    20/14 at Deep Creek. DP ticking up steadily and the temp will follow, although it’s colder than I expected it to be this evening. Going to miss this airmass, the past 3-4 days have been glorious up here. Rare stretch of decent cold without much wind.

    7/4 at DCL. Crystal clear skies and calm winds. Feels like we have a little further to fall. Lake is just primed to ice over, too bad it’s warming up after tonight.

    This storm is on track to meet/exceed the January 19 storm impact at DCL. Consistent SN+ for at least the past 90 minutes not anywhere near as squally as I might have expected it to be.

    26/24 at DCL, steady moderate and occasional SN+. Classic winter day here, not extreme but attention holding.

    33.2 / 29.5 and snowing on the cameras at DCL. Heading out at zero dark thirty tomorrow, hopefully we keep power through the event so I can work from something bigger than an iPhone.

    1.26” at DCL with another round incoming. Will silence “the lake is drying up” on FB crowd for at least a day maybe.

    Most of the highlands you can walk across the rivers and streams and in some cases, not even get your feet wet. It's difficult to fully appreciate unless you've been out there.

    100 / 76 on the Leesburg PWS 81 / 68 at DCL A near 20*F differential in the mid afternoon is pretty atypical for the warm seasons, not as uncommon in winter

    1.67" yesterday at DCL, 2.87" for the month. Considerably less at home in Leesburg. Lawn was last mowed on June 11.

    They tend to reverse pretty quickly, as I expect this one too as well as the hot pattern of the past month appears to be transitioning and we get closer to the heart of tropical season.

    1.20" month to date at DCL, .74" in the past 48 hours. Deep Creek Lake is approximately 12" lower compared to this time last year, with most all of that deficit materializing during the "flash drought" period.

    Perhaps the highlands can give the Potomac a drink tonight after all…

    If the tropics start cooking as expected, no way we don’t get in on that eventually. May not save July but hard to see any drought seriously persisting beyond a few more weeks.

    We managed several hours overnight at DCL in the 40's. I bottomed out at 46*F, but by the time I was out for my morning run it had rebounded well into the 50's. Still refreshing to sleep with the windows open and AC off.

    What a difference a day makes! It’s hot and humid at DCL. Getting the outflow from that cell now and watching the more ominous line behind it in WVA.
  20. RIC_WX
    A quick.35”, a little more than last night and not at grilling time today. We’ll take it.

    About to get real at Deep Creek
  22. RIC_WX
    We like extremes right? Visiting Tuesday night and Wednesday. Not looking forward to flying across that boundary though…

    Taking my son to WISP tomorrow and telling him to expect his last turns of the year. Shame the high expectations for this season didn’t entirely pan out.
  24. RIC_WX
    All things considered, we’ve actually done pretty well this year given how warm it’s been. We’ve basically scored every single time it got cold. Only problem is it hasn’t been cold much. It’s rotten compared to our expectations but unless March-April is wall to wall torch we should be within striking distance of climo, or at least a respectable season.
