Here is a summary of the forecast for next week's projected storm Sunday and Monday - doom and gloom "its going to rain" everyone is out but secretly watching and hoping. Tuesday: Positive run - everyone is hopeful and reinvested. Wednesday - Thursday - the positive run from Tuesday collapses everyone is back on the ledge. Friday morning - run moves favorable Friday afternoon - run looks significantly better everyone can't believe we are going to luck into something. "Mappy says enjoy your white rain weenies" Saturday - Temps are only marginal - the 6 inches predicted by the ICON is a bust and central MD gets a 1/2 inch of slop and Carrol, Hartford and Cecil gets 2 inches. :-) You're welcome!

Here you go

Ye of little faith!

I have a driveway that is 1/8 of a mile long straight and my snowblower is getting picked up tomorrow for service and a new carburetor (no joke). You can thank me now for the impending boom from this storm! Looks like I will be shoveling the equivalent of your neighborhood street by hand again! You can't make this stuff up!!!

Hahaha! Thank God it is basketball season!!! Football was terrible!

Thanks! I am all in!!

My prediction is as follows: BWI: 52 inches DCA: 31 inches IAD: 39 inches RIC: 12 inches Tiebreaker (SBY): 16 inches

Well, the GFS finally has some color on it!!!

It's going to be funny when this thing over performs in the morning and all of you naysayers are scrambling! :-)

I am not giving up quite yet!

Too good not to share!

Yep - definitely snow coning down! https://chart.maryland.gov/video/video.php?feed=1800a05f00a100ab0050fa36c4235c0a

Stay tuned for future updates on this winter weather event, and the potential for Winter Weather Advisories to be issued later today.

Snow just starting in Severna Park - Temp 34.7 / Dew-point - 21.4

NWS is calling for 2-4inches (total storm precip) on their point and click for central Maryland.

What happened to Intellicast? They used to have the best radar maps around and it seems like someone flipped a switch in the last couple of days and turned that whole site to dog poop!!! WTF?

A little pre-storm snow porn from Shawn James / My Self Reliance. This is the guy that built his cabin, outhouse outdoor kitchen and now he is working on his sauna with only hand tools. He is in central Ontario and it has been a very snowy year for him so far. He puts up a new video every Friday and his channel is one of my favorites to watch while I drink my Saturday morning coffee! Good stuff and extremely relaxing!!!!

28.2 / 17 currently in Severna Park ***Just for reference the current bay water temp (mid-bay) at Thomas Point Lighthouse is 40.3***

Hoping this doesn't turn into another Miller K (as in strikeout)!

For what it is worth the current Bay water temp is 43.9 degrees at Thomas Point Lighthouse. It was 59.4 degrees on 11/01/18. That is only a 15.5 degree drop in over 2 months. By contrast last year it was 33.1 degrees at Thomas Point Light on 1/6/18 and Round Bay (the widest point of the Severn River had frozen all the way across by 1/4/18 and their were people walking on the ice by 1/7/18). That is a 10 degree swing! If we have any marginally cold storms the bay being 10 years warmer could have an impact. Come on cold weather!

.........and here we go

A little trend north - It is not done yet!

Moving in the right direction!
