And please don't let it be a 70 degree January day like the 2 other times we lost to the Colts in 2006 and Tennessee in 2019.

Nice player, strong physical guard. To bad the Terps lost Hakim Hart to Villanova. I think he's the difference between this year and last so far. He wasn't a great player but he has great length and was versatile with experience

Maybe you're thinking 2014. 2015 as all backloaded didn't get going until the arctic front and heavy squall around Valentine's day.

It's really frustrating. This type of system is supposed to be an easy 3-6 inches with temps between 30-32 and we just can't get there on any marginal event.

Reminds of storm in December 97. Almost to the exact day. It did snow all day moderately but just could never manage to accumulate well. I lived in Owings Mills/Reisterstown then and maybe totaled 2 inches after many hours of moderate snow. Probably did better out our way but overall a waste of a good storm. Slightly colder would've produced 4-6.

It's ok! Maestro was already out.

Wait a minute. You must not have heard. It's a "thread the needle" type deal. You would be crazy to think it could snow twice in December almost within a week. December is the new September.

I remember that December 2020 small event. That was by far the biggest difference for a marginal event. Then we had that nice storm a couple days later. Last night was a good start and was close to being a really good storm. If we were able to get into some decent rates earlier and the precip didn't move out quite as fast this would've been a 5-6 inch snow. The flip was right on time and we got colder than modeled at its height.

Here as well. Even on my south facing front lawn.

12/11/23: 3.0

Looks like 3 for the books. I fell asleep with over 2 on the ground and it snowing heavily at 3:30 a.m. going by the other posters in the area and the one spotter report 3 seems to be the consensus.

Heavy snow. Working on 2 inches. 31.

Moderate/Heavy snow. Everything covered except pavements but they're starting to cave. 32.

About an 1/8 of a mile from PSU. The same place I've been for the last 16 Years I've been posting.

Mixing!

Arctic is not required to get a quick burst of snow with this system. When systems like this work out its usually snowing on the tail end with 33-34 temps

Yes, I remember that one well. Just a dusting in Reisterstown. Philly got 4. Also March 2005 although that one had legit arctic cold behind the front. This area got a solid 4-6. These events arent witnessed annually but they do occur a little more often than most think and they do produce with the caveat that our area is much more favorable.

It was definitely a Saturday.

I was think the same thing. Coincidentally there was a similar event to November 1995 just 8 months earlier in March of 1995. Strong front where the cold air rushed in just in time to catch up with the heavy precip. Heavy rain quickly changed to heavy snow for about 2 hours before it shut off. I was out that evening and when I arrived at my destination around 6-6:30 it was torrential rains and temps well into the 50's if not higher. When I walked out side 3-4 hours later it was snowing lightly with temps 32-34. 2-3 inches was on the car and ground. Roads were bad too and that was in lower Pikesville near the city line. This event is never brought up or remembered. Really unique to have 2 very unusual events in the same year especially since they occurred in early Spring and Fall respectively. Both events were well forecasted for heavy rain and rapidly falling temps behind the fronts with exception of no mention of a chance for a change to accumulating snow which came as surprise to everyone.

Complete whiff here. Not even a single flake that I can recall just cloudy and very cold. I think Reisterstown was the cut off. Maybe an inch or 2 down there.

Nice snow shower going on at the moment.

I'm not sure what you mean. 2003 was not a wet snow. Even when it changed to sleet it was still very cold. Temps did warm into Monday morning and it all ended as a final burst of snow. It did warm after the storm and another small feature caused light snow overnight Monday into Tuesday and that was heavier wetter snow.
