Re: our hood, I'm having FOMO about recording 9" lol. I think you are the 10.1" spotter, right? And the Abingdon spotter is now at 10.8". I only measured twice, did you measure more often? also my sleet measurement was for shit, it was a mess.

I waited till today to shovel and it's not unmanageable, just a bit slow. Just dug out the car and some of the driveway, which thankfully is flat and not super long. Going back out in a bit. Sun was a help with the car once the snow pack on it was loosened up. I've been going at it kind of primitively...cleaned around the car by stomping on the pack with a foot and either kicking the chunks away or lifting and tossing away by hand (thick waterproof gloves ftw). No shovel involved lol. When not stomping the glacier I'm using a hammer to break the crust. Once underneath it's soft and not difficult to shovel. Feels pretty good out there my god I love snow!!! Bring me more!

I measured 6.5" snow after the flip, around 10 am. Measured the sleet portion around 4 pm, inconsistent 2" - 2.5". Another ~quarter inch fell after that. I feel safe saying mby recd 9", it might be low. Nearest spotters so far are Abingdon (10") and T. August btw 9-10" I think.

Sweet

Welll I measured 6.5" like 30 minutes after the flip started this morning 10-ish. Not very confident about the measurement I just took of what fell after that on cleared area. It has to be at least 2-2.5" imo, but it's unruly stuff.

Just realized it's gonna be "giant sheets of ice and snow flying off car tops at speed" season. Been a while!

Don't miss hitting play on this y'all.

Thinking about baking some banana bread or muffins with dark chocolate chips. Real food is currently an unknown.

It's loud! Haven't given a river ob here for a while, unsurprisingly it is frozen over, with a blanket of white on top

Just measured 6.5" while being lashed with sleet. Keeping an eye out for @T. Augustmeasurements over on the other side of APG.

First pings.

Over the 5" mark here, will measure after flip. All snow, beautiful, cold, quiet...

First flakes here on the upper western shore! NE of Baltimore in Harford Co

I really can't with the NAM rn. But hasn't high risk suffered enough today?

Excited like kids (if not actual kids) waiting for the snow...

Here's the site to explore! https://mesonet.umd.edu/index.html

Take every cutting board in the kitchen. Tell them it's for science.

Thanks, will share with my dad . Kinda wish I was hanging with him in Columbia, keeping him company (first winter without my mom). But he does have a sn...snleet removal service, and I took him a huge bucket of sand. I am also happy to see a decent winter storm here in Harford.

Reached?? Armchair psychology is second only to weather tracking here haha. I'm still hoping for a 6" floor as I have been for days (yes, including sleet). I am in the Baltimore-North snow drought hole with Maestro, Towson, Rick, BaltoSquid etc and I wanted a bigger, snowier storm and get anyone who is bummed BUT I refuse to spend the storm all cranky. Not reading hundreds of cranky posts either, it will be ignore time and get off the forum time. Here's to frozen precip, health, happiness, and hopefully some laughs as it plays out!

Hi 41, currently 33. Wind came in like a switch flipped on.

Suddenly craving a NM style breakfast burrito. Green chile.

I'm not-working ready on Monday ...to support the mission, of course

Spend too much time looking at model maps and start to see them projected on the inside of my eyelids during those times.

Lmao. They'll be all set for the generator and ALSO for tormenting their neighbors with non-stop, snow-peacefulness-destroying, obsessive snow blowing. (something I have to prepare a zen mindset about ugh)
