87storms

Easterly flow could keep things moist. Might get slick later for the colder burbs.

I use Merlin as well…and plantnet for discovering weird plants.

Parking lot stickage in progress on the parts less traveled. Just went outside for a bit…very wet snow. Probably about 1/4 - 1/2” so far I’m guessing.

It’s a great setup, just lacking moisture mmmph.

On the northern edge of a beautiful band. Mulch, grass, and car stickage in progress. If I didn’t have a meeting at 230 and 3 I would go out and explore.

La Niña is frugal

Radar looks pitiful up this way. I know a MoCo special radar when I see it.

That area is gonna win this round imo

That’s surprising. It feels very much like a dense, “snow” type of cold here in Frederick.

That area and also the 270 split are low key storm magnets.

Cold enough to snow, but I live in Frederick. Congrats central MoCo (aka one of the most underrated places in the region for snow).

I don’t want to steal snow from Reagan and Dulles. I’m actually rooting for them to score for the snowfall contest.

I’m fully expecting that Frederick gets no snow from the initial precip and the later round comes in as sleet/rain.

Are the trails that crowded around your area? It gets busier here, but nothing too crazy imo with the exception of the more touristy spots like Billy Goat, MD Heights, etc.

Def got my hoops and biking fix yesterday. My legs were on E today lol. I do however have a Pilsner that I'm about to partake in.

If you look at satellite, you’ll see the most perfect example of the Catoctin cloud factory. Hardly any other clouds around except along/over the Catoctin’s. Still a fair amount of sun today (cloud factory is waning), though kind of a sneaky chilly compared to yesterday. Not looking forward to tomorrow’s temps, if I’m being brutally honest. https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES/sector_band.php?sat=G19&sector=ne&band=GEOCOLOR&length=12&dim=undefined

Must be showing yesterday’s weather

The Wizards and Terps are as difficult as an Alberta Clipper.

Hopefully it’s wrong, mostly because our chance of actually getting a snowstorm beyond mid March is probably lower than the Terps making the ncaa tourney.

That would be really stupid.

This weather is on a different level.

Overrunning with a high pressure sliding off the coast seems like a snow/mix to rain setup. That’s more fun in December than early March. Maybe Richmond can pad its airport totals with the initial stuff.

Emotionally, it’s absolutely a C- tops. I mean, our flagship storm was several hours of snow followed by mixed precip, and the last storm was an absolute joke here. Objectively, cold matters in the grading system and we had an anomalous stretch. I saw ppl playing ice hockey on a frozen pond in Baker Park and it was frozen for weeks. The biggest issue this winter was a lack of precip…an issue that’s been prevalent the last few years up this way. That said, I drove thru Gambrill today and they still have a couple inches up there at 1200’+, but that’s also a Frederick microclimate.

And now you all know why I kvetch about the lack of snow (admittedly more than I should and not in the banter thread often enough). This winter gets no higher than a B- imby. Glad the snow mounds are on their way out and spring is on its way in.

I’m hyped.
