From 2 pm AFD Another punch, or perhaps just extension, to the gusty winds occurs heading into early evening as the potent trough axis moves overhead. Guidance was consistent with minimal drop off in winds, especially on the hilltops and ridges. Thus, all wind headlines are in effect until 10 PM. In particular, downslope-favored areas just east of the Alleghenies could see some very high winds given the wind aloft and profiles in BUFKIT; it would not shock me if one or two wind gusts to hurricane force were noted somewhere between US-219 and US-220 this evening. Given the number of power outages in some areas and the very cold temps tonight, this additional wind could prove high impact. Winds will diminish the second half of the night as high pressure quickly approaches from the west by daybreak.

Don't forget the ongoing meta analysis of the emotional rollercoastering. Also the trolling to mock and/or incite the emotional rollercoastering. And ofc the extra-meta posts like this one

.45 here. Two hours later:

Another ice pic, from yesterday. Sun breaking through abundant clouds/virga made for an eerie light.

Did the Norrisville slantsticker get blowback? lol...it's 6.2" in the PNS from yesterday evening

Low temp 18. 16 at the mesonet station a few miles inland.

That does it. Pitchforks.

Asking a normie neighbor. That's dedication.

Crushed it, congrats!

I had a tough time too, going with 3" for now while watching reports. Looks great out there. My eyes are happy! A pasty, wet, stick-to-every-twig snow. Glad for the cold temps coming. Thought I heard thunder rumblings in the early a.m. half asleep.

Drizzle 36

I never focus on having the most and that wasn't complaining. Same here. I was all set to be thrilled for 3"

The HRRRRR says yeah, true

Just pulled the snow shovel out, and you know what that means, that means nothing because jinxes aren't real. Glad this has evolved into much wider event! It was agonizing tracking a narrow band. It's fun seeing mby be in or near the jackpot. In honesty, and this is not a meteorological opinion, usually the highest totals will wind up at least a bit NW of here, even when we are favored, will not be surprised at all. Let's roll!!!

Risking more banter, I too am old enough to have OBSESSIVELY called 936-1212

Here's some frozen water for ya. Shot from yesterday morning.

The area I live is sometimes like a geography puzzle in this sub - neither the lowlands NOR the northern tier Periodic annoying reminder that highlands/lowlands in our region is an east/west thing, not a north/south thing. I can't help myself. Carry on. Best of luck to all even remotely in the game. MBY still looks decent so I'm super excited for a possible 3+ incher. The stakes are this low..but the frustration in here is understandably high...so if it is a good event imby I will be off the forum to best enjoy it.

This was my first thought but then it seemed unfair to insult it right out of the gate maybe too close to "goofus"

Rerfed Rerfus'd eh

Middle finger for Frederick Co, but of joy

Beat me to hauling out this phrase, lol. The northern snow drought is not just Baltimore N/W as we often discuss (better climo=more disappointment probs) but it has also been bleak Balt NE for 95 corridor northern peeps. I prefer big snows that hit the biggest area possible but if this modest tiny miracle happens here, we are due.

Gorgeous shots, every one. Well done. I love cemeteries in snow. Also the hints of red/orange/warmth that come through in snow pics/winter scenery IRL, like in these pics the cut firewood, berries, etc...the color palette is just, chef's kiss.

River ice gone. Geese taking a swim. Hopefully more fun with ice to come this winter.

This prob isn't the weekend but one of these days I have GOT to do this, or a WV spot. I can never seem to get it together and/or manage schedule wise and I live vicariously on here. Have done beach snow but not for a long time and no mountain snow. Goals.

Yeah, life in the lowlands
