    i'm sort of kidding, but it's literally been in the 60s for several days in a row leading into this. i suppose trees and such could ice, but there's some factors against impacts here. we'll see. i'd rather it just snow lol.

    when will it be ok to break out a nothing burger gif for this storm?

    yea, winter is supposed to be 3 months here lol. i don't need anymore than that. otherwise, it gets to a point of what exactly am i rooting for? there's too much to like about spring. ideally, i'd like 1 more snowstorm, but at this point i'd rather it be book-ended by mild weather.

    the temperatures the last few days have been truly majestic. we left 2 months on the table where we could have snowed (november and feb), so we had our chances. it's time to get this party moving to spring. not to say i won't accept another snowfall...i will...but spring is starting to vibe.

    yea, i expected more, but the last 2 winters were a joke in bethesda (where i used to live), so i was ok with this. i kinda feel like we might get one more storm...we'll see.

    it's gotten breezy here as well, though it's certainly more tolerable when it's a southerly component.

    I’m putting this winter as a B-, saved in Frederick by two decent storms. This is a relative grade compared to the last 2 winters. It’s my first time living up here and I’m just glad it actually snowed. Realistically, it’s probably a C+. One more warning level snowfall and it’s a solid B.

    satellite and water vapor show the roll clouds real well. pretty cool actually.

    looks like hagerstown is first in line for that band. i was contemplating a bike ride or even a hike, but both might be a little sketch in this weather.

    i'm game. just saw the radar...i might be on the southern fringe, but looks interesting for the northern tier.
  12. 87storms
    i'm under the frederick blue. decent gusts just rolled through here already, whipping things around for a bit.

    Let's cut the bs...is it gonna snow or not? Math is fun, though. Was recently trying to figure out why we drop a zero when doing long division of fractions. Not sure it was ever really taught in school, or I was just not paying attention (possibly dreaming of making the nba). Hint: cross multiplying. Re how it relates to the weather. Trig is a good start...probably some asymptotic functions thrown in as well to remind us of downsloping, low level warm air intrusion, and dry slots.

    maybe in dc. gonna be more challenging up here in the valleys/ridges of frederick. it hasn't been all that warm the last 4 months, so while it's been a typical la nina winter, it's mostly due to it being dry. we'll need to see how much the se ridge flexes in the coming weeks.

    yesterday's temps were awesome. looking forward to march madness soon and then cherry blossom updates. it can snow again if it wants, but i'm starting to turn the page on winter.
  16. 87storms
    another burst of wind is cranking here right now. the 4-5am shower was legit, too. woke up to rain blasting my windows.
  17. 87storms
    The radar is reminiscent of early fall with precip having an easier time along the m/d line. Have had some soakers here since late afternoon…more towards Hagerstown. The milder temps were welcome today.
  18. 87storms
    My desire to play hoops or bike in 80 degree weather followed by an early evening severe thunderstorm is growing.
  19. 87storms
    I’m craving a snowstorm…but I’m also craving warmer weather. The best part of this time of year is that it can offer both.
  20. 87storms
    march 2014 was prolific for snow around here from start to finish. march 5, 2015 had a legitimate snowstorm...don't recall anything else substantial (looking through old pics and see a freezing rain event to start the month).

    I haven’t been out yet, but gotta think about 1-2” here. I did look out the window a couple times overnight and the flake size was significant under the yellows. Roads are wet, as expected, but it looks cool on cars/grass/trees.
  22. 87storms
    lwx mentioned in one of their previous disco's that the downsloping effects (cold area filtering in from the nw) in these types of scenarios is one of the reasons why temps are often times lagging too far behind the precip. that said, there are times when it does work, so who knows.

    Had a raccoon lead the way on a trail today for about 5 mins until it finally exited stage right once another biker showed up. That was a first.
  24. 87storms
    I aggressively approve of the nam output.
  25. 87storms
    2m temps don’t equal ground temps. I have very low expectations of accumulation on roads, etc, after a week of late March weather, but I suppose there might be some slick sidewalks if it comes down moderately. Maybe I’m thinking I still live in Bethesda, but we shall see. I’m certainly rooting for it.
