Looks doable if it’s a “low forming to the south along a stalled out front with cad building in” type of a situation.
-
wow, i wouldn't have expected that. i had enough time keeping my balance on the scramble when it was sunny and dry lol. and yea, i could see some of the lowland parts being slick. fun trail, though. you have to think while you're on it...reminds me of mountain biking in that regard.
-
I thought about doing billy goat recently but probably would do B or C. I don't know about those rocks/cliff on A when it's slick lol (i'm assuming that section is closed). great spot, though. blockhouse point is sneaky good, too. tried that one over the summer. it's not technical, but it hits the c and o which adds some flavor to it.
-
Yea I just meant a low that doesn’t develop too late. I know we can score with stalled out fronts but those Jan 2011 type events are tough here. Too early to tell either way, but it does look like a dynamic system.
-
If temps start out in the 50s it might be a lot asking for a changeover to accumulating snow, assuming the front is gonna plow through as advertised. Well need a low to develop along the front. Idk if that’s really our setup but would still be cool to end as snow showers or a period of snow.

Pingers making an entrance. Expected
-
The size of the flakes falling here right now is absurd. Literally 1-2” in diameter
-
Highly acceptable mid December event. Still snow here but I know what’s incoming. Plenty of season left. Gotta enjoy this for now
-
Roads are a mess in cabin John area and one of my bball courts is now snow covered so I’ll be entering retirement for a few days. Still coming down here and don’t hear any sleet yet.
-
been a while. i rock the waterproof merrill's.
-
i doubt it's all sleet. this is gonna be a piling of a storm for the nw burbs. for mby i'm expecting at least some pingers in that next batch.
-
looks like its still holding steady for now just south of dc.
-
still snow here. probably will need to venture out soon. got half treads left on my jeep (100k miles now)...might be a good opportunity to shake off the rust before the inevitable changeover.
-
yea this has all the classic cad traits. just hoping it was underdone here again. it does happen, though more difficult without arctic air.
-
been light snow in bethesda. no issues sticking. it's a snowy type of cold out there.
-
still not ideal for the cities, but it's not going to take much of a shift east and better cad to keep at least the close in burbs snowy.
-
we need tomorrow's air mass and yesterday's system (which would have been a classic warning level event here). the latest nam has the upper level energy moving too far north. if i was in the higher elevations near the mason dixon line i'd feel real good about this storm. around here, i'm just hoping we get a couple hours of snow to start (bonus points for daytime snow).
-
the system reminds me of some of those 90s nor'easters that would drop an easy 2-4/3-5", close schools and then change to a mix/rain.
-
it's an interesting storm regardless of the outcome. that's why i'm not getting too high or low with this, esp in mid-dec without an arctic airmass.
-
yea, looked a little better at the beginning for the cities. it's a good thing we still have a day of modeling because all it's gonna take is a minor shift east.
-
rgem looks like a hold. maybe even slightly better than 12z.
-
i went through the same thing last year and ended up with the c940 (14"). so far, so good. i went with that because i liked the keyboard and soundbar. if i have any complaint it's that i'd prefer it to be a 16:10 aspect ratio instead of 16:9. it's also kinda awkward when it's folded, but i almost never use it for that. tent mode is nice, too. fyi, macbook air isn't a 2 in 1 and it's one of the reasons i didn't go with it. i wanted the versatility.
-
cooler waters lol. i think we're just dealing with a mid-dec coastal versus january. emotions aside, the solution is pretty reasonable. on the plus side, it's not going to take much to shift the r/s line southeast.
-
pingers in bethesda. kinda suprised by that, but i'm under a legitimate band, so might just be temporary.
-
18 or 0z will be the nam'ing for the northern md to blue ridge crew.
