Coming down real good here too. Radar does look good.

Snow just started moving in here. Very dark to my northwest and can still see bright skies to the southeast. Pretty cool.

No doubt were close to 5.

Last burst moving through now.

The kids just measured about 5.

Solid 3 inches and snowing heavily .

Flurries started between Westminster and Hampstead.

Jilly's?

I can't remember 1 single event where you dont do this.

I just cancelled my afternoon appointment figuring I'll get the call any minute from CCPS. I'm all in on this event. Ready for a 5 inch jackpot here in the valley and 6 inches on mount Hoffman literally right out my backdoor lol.

Starting to look real nice for us and a lot of others. Text output on GFS for Westminster is exactly .40 qpf. if we start ripping temps up near us will be colder than currently shown. I could see 29-30 easily if it's S+. Fingers crossed for an over performer.

Theilin is an outstanding receiver. That was a great catch.

Still warm at the surface but not awful. At least its something to keep interest and not 10 days away. in. Push the timing back 6 hours and cool the surface a bit then its doable. It certainly could beef up a bit. Probably a forum divider though.

I'm really impressed with KC and think they are clearly the 2nd best team in the AFC. They have played better on defense over the last 6 games although they were against some really bad offenses but that still lends to gaining confidence. We all know Andy Reid's record in big games so that has me feeling somewhat better about this potential match up.

I too think were going to play KC and I would normally agree with what you said but with Mahomes I'm not so sure. He looked really good in that snow game against Denver a few weeks ago. Their receivers had a lot of success and were able to run clean routes despite the heavy snow. Remember offensive players know where they want to run to. A snowy field is usually good for defenses because receivers have a hard time getting started into their routes but it sure seemed not to bother KC. I think I prefer windy and heavy rain with a sloppy field that causes some of his downfield passes to sail on him and makes it hard for their receivers to run clean deep routes.

Hilarious.

Without going into any details on any one specific winter here are a few. Some waited until March 33-34 36-37 55-56? not sure on this year 57-58 59-60 mostly in March 65-66 last week of January 78-79 82-83 1 big storm. 85-86 not great but a couple of late February storms were decent. 86-87 shutout until Jan. 22nd 92-93 98-99 not great but suburbs did ok in March 99-2000 shutout until the 3rd week of January then a great 12 day stretch. 2006-2007 2014-2015 a lot of those years did feature some snow in December so take this with a grain of salt. I'm sure there are others as well.

I don't recall any however it snowed very heavy for several hours. As a naive college sophomore I was hoping the calls for a change to rain would bust. The transition from heavy snow to heavy rain was in an instant and everything that fell was washed in a couple hours.

The 90 storm was between Christmas and new years that year. Not a good snow season at all but that storm was an unexpected surprise. The 92 storm really was a bomb.

Some rogue 12-16 inch event. Lol. That's a top 15 all time event for the southern half of the forum. As McEnroe once said "you cannot be serious". The 3 storms you mentioned were great examples. Here are some others. Dec. 1992 4 inches wiped away within a few hours as temps pushed into the 50's. Feb. 1993 suburbs get 3-6 gone the very next day as temps get into the 60's. Dec. 1990 5-8 gone within 2 days. PD1 20 inches gone within a few days. Countless other front end thumps washed away immediately after a change to rain. Probably 90 percent of march snowfalls are gone in 48 hours. We don't live in upstate New York like some here think. That is why when we get an epic stretch it's special but I digress.

Snow in early January has become a rare thing around here over the last 20 years. It would be nice to get a moderate event in the first days of the month for a change.

Just unbelievable how fast time goes by. What a winter. That year has definitely caused a lot of weenies to have a very unrealistic view of our regions climo.

Lol. I'm actually at the firehouse on glen ave. Took the kids to see the train display.

I'm in pikesville.

Interesting because the first 3 winters 59/60, 65/66 and 86/87 in the grouping saw the bulk of snow and cold come in an epic 2-3 week period. 59/60 came in march with a ridiculous sustained cold first 2 weeks for that time of the year. That's something I'm not opposed to at all. There's nothing like deep winter for a solid period. I would be willing to sacrifice the rest of winter for a memorable short stretch. I suspect 93/94 had more longevity because it was -epo driven much like 2013/2014 which was probably as close to wall to wall winter that we can achieve.
