The fringing was epic in my backyard. From over an inch at yours to what I received—— 0.04” not 30 miles farther northwest. Back to watering.

I’m grateful, on this winter morning and every morning, for all of our brave military serving and protecting us and for those who gave their lives to defend our freedom.

That would most likely be the gag reflex. Don't be exposed. Be safe. Avert your eyes from these painful purveyors of punnery. Feel better Mrs. J.

Thanks for doing this! If it's not too late, here are my two locations on the Eastern Shore..... 1) 39.15 N 76.12 W 2) 38.25 N 76.05 W Upper and lower shore, Kent and Dorchester.

Excellent descriptor.Those are the most maddening of all, so elusive of the hand. Anyone ever been attacked by one of those huge skeeters with a body around an inch long and equipped with a massive dagger? It sounds like a hornet when it homes in on one’s intoxicating bloodscent......visual heat sensors their guide.... Both kinds land, strike with lightning speed and escape before you can swear. This wet and pretty mild winter promises plenty of insects.

Truly, it has been mud season non-stop here on the Eastern Shore since this past June...

We have had some wet years but right now it’s immensely saturated. Been finding ticks on the barn cats all winter. Mud season returns next week !

The disappointment is palpable since the models largely missed the deal............The quoted statement somewhat rings true, the forum is often a hostile place to comments if you're not a street-credded member. And banter anytime (only for the mafia though or you get lit up) even when in storm mode................ BUT, being taken seriously is earned, which is why I'm not a regular poster.....( On topic, It's a sleetfest right now in Chestertown, roads are terrible. 3 people live here, I'm the only poster I know of rom this northish part of the sticks) Not north enough! So, smartass that I am, I'll go back to chuckling at the meltdowns and the butthurt, reading but not posting. This site is a place to learn from others, and I see posters who were once vilified now being accepted as valid contributors. Why? because they are making valid contributions (unlike this post) The more knowledgeable definitely prefer it that way from most of us .............there are people who have apparently have a lot of time to spend on writing comments, which is what makes it fun. Well, depending on who it is, some folks are just in their own world. If it wasn't fun, why would anyone be involved in this madness-inducing hobby? Have fun and be safe! %)

I remember some terrible ice storms from 1994. Ice on that magnitude is yet another awe-inspiring force. Listening to trees and branches snapping and crashing to the ground in the dark is unsettling at best. Have 2 wood stoves and generator but as a woodland dweller I’ll take a big pass on significant zr.

Mighty depressing forecast even for February for sure. No one sane roots for ice storms.

As the crow flies im maybe 25-30 northwest of you. Southwestern Kent County. looking outside there appears to be @ 3 +/- inches. Sleet was mixing last night @ 1030 But that northern tier modeling was pretty accurate apparently. I’ll take this as a win anytime. Still, overall, what a struggle this region continues to have.

I think what constitutes, or not, intelligent discussion is subjective to each viewer. Are some people just annoying as a matter of opinion? Certainly! Anyone who comes here with an open mind can learn a great deal from many knowledgeable people who share without rancor or judgment. Thanks for enlightening us as to your subjectively superior insight, and for counselling these hapless, voluntarily miserable, unwashed weenies with an excellent rhetorical self-check.. Well done..............

My snow is definitely stale and more an ice slab. Last night's Delmarva bonus band formed just south and east of my home. Salisbury/Seaford/milford/lewes had some nice action. No worries, it will all be gone and then perhaps we eventually get refreshed. Or wet.

.2 in my yard 6 miles southwest of Chestertown Total for last winter and this one is now a mind-boggling .6 Hovering near freezing, but not for long......was nice while it lasted..

January showers bring February flowers any more I can hardly recall what it is like to have a one-inch accumulating snow here on the shore it hasn’t done so imby in two years so missing the rainsnowslurry is just par for the course sigh

I had measurable frost twice in the past week. ;)........sigh.

I've measured .4 inches of frost the past 2 mornings. That's the Delmarva version of snow these past several years. There was, however, some very cool low-level, fairly dense freezing fog today, in addition.

Riding the positive vibe train and the trend toward the second half of January despite a drought for meaningful snow on the upper Eastern Shore that has reached an astounding scale even by our failure standards. Looking better that we might eventually break out! But............. I and a few other posters live where snow is usually an occasional novelty rather than long in duration and depth. Mud, on the other hand? I live in the heart of muck central. Pretty much who doesn't these days. Slant-sticked 3-4 inches in parts of mby this morning......

But, but but........... if there's no cold air, how will the rain stay mainly on the plain? Lol HNY to all. Except Ji.

34. I would actually love to see the dry slot rather than 1-2 inches of cold rain; the state of my yard is, and pretty much has been for several months, a quagmire. Elevation here in southwestern Kent County MD is 16.69 feet and the Chesapeake Bay water doesn't help it snow, ever. I'll hopefully see more tomorrow than the .3 of slush that I recorded all last winter. lol Good luck all!

THIS is completely revealing! Such fun! No coexisting with people you don’t agree with. All of those who disagree with her are morons? Who knew? No wonder we weren’t deemed grown up enough to be allowed to discuss corona.

Rural passerby here ( which on this forum apparently, I have learned, in my case equates to ignorant redneck), browsing through this thread and seeing that political trolling/emotion is on the upswing, as frustration rises. It's a political forum, that's for sure, albeit a whole lot more civil than the actual political forum. There's alot of value in this thread, and that is why I read it. Last week, though, I learned here that golfers think social distancing is a joke and put people at risk by their inconsiderate flagrant violations. This week I see increasing evidence that moderation of this sensitive topic is also frustrating, and leads toward authoritative judging and labelling people. I, for example, in response to occasionally voicing my opinion, have been periodically labelled a knuckledragging Neanderthal who adds nothing of value. Perhaps that is true regarding some of the things I've posted. I can be an antagonistic troll. Then I read some of the more valued posters' observations, personal insults and judgmentality and... well, I have difficulty finding much value in a lot of that either. Makes me glad to be a backward country bumpkin who is so uninformed in the eyes of others about the "unprecedented" covid-19 event. Wish I could always make intelligent statements that add value, but in this type setup opinion and philosophy are bound to create some conflict in the discussion. It's a microcosm of today's American landscape. I've read these threads for years and I don't see the referenced poster "acting like an asshole all the time." I can't think of any time when I ever saw anyone referred to in this way in any weather-related conversation. But in this thread disagreement (and lack of proper credentials from the forum mavens will get you lit up. I see this happen with Phin, simply because he posts opinions that may not play well in the forum readership on this topic. Or Showme, who took a powder after getting hammered. Carry on, the discussion is still good, even the arguing, as long as it stays away from the scorched-earth aura of the political forum. I can't imagine anyone thinks this thread isn't political. Oh damn, I didn't add a thing of value (again). Everyone be well, things will come around if we just go back to living soon without the government regulating almost every aspect of life, killing the economy and not allowing large segments of our workforce to be working. That is unprecedented, a serious viral outbreak is not.

Maybe it's something to do with living in a rural area, I definitely would be less comfortable in dense populations, and not solely due to the illness. I certainly respect the need for continuing stay-at-home while there are many new cases. I see it being taken seriously in rural towns. people are wearing masks and being respectful of each other. I agree, however, with numerous posters that wearing a mask does nothing to suppress transmission. For me, the mask is a requirement which enhances public fear, by association, when it obviously won't keep us from catching it. I am appreciative of this site and learn alot here. I only commented because of the seeming animosity to certain views, and though it is nothing personal it gets a little tedious over time. I am grateful for my health today, and wish the same for all of you.

This is exactly my point, thank you for helping confirm. My opinion as a rural passerby may differ, which I respect, but I see that makes me holier than someone, somehow. All I was doing was seeking some discussion, fear and loathing gets boring. I don't think I am vastly different from all the other anonymous experts here, in terms of everyone has to come to their own understandings?

Happy Sunday morning to you all, here’s my (unsolicited and likely unwelcome) offering as I peruse this thread, which I think has been really great overall. I appreciate the house “trolls” who act as judgmental thought police for anyone’s opinion which differs from the mind-numbing state and media-promoted narrative of fear, or who expresses disagreement with indefinite continuance of states’ strangulation of the economic fortunes of millions. It’s very instructive for the many who are paying close attention to the same events. It highlights and is illustrative of the current Grand Canyon divide which exists in our country. Thus it is a good vehicle for learning and discussion. Carry on and have a good day. Respectfully submitted from the “ perimeter”of trolling....cause it takes one to know one.
