Northwest Columbia near Howard: 1.5 on my table at 7pm after whatever compaction occurred.  2.25 on elevated surfaces like my grill.  Fun little storm.  @nw baltimore wx HoCo has the trucks out salting but the plows are up.  My little electric snow blower about froze solid on the melt filled slush on the side walk.

So you’re saying there’s a chance in the morning???

Best snow event of the decade! And a really nice treat to tide us over through the upcoming shutout period.

No complaints at all, especially when we were expecting a no-go until after Jan 20th anyway. 

@psuhoffman has been quiet (unless I missed it)......need to know how that inverted trough paid off for you in Jackpotville. Any takers for 6"?

Been out having fun. Ended with 5.2”.

Temp is plummeting.  22° after a high of 33.  
Just returned from a drive around the area and in the densest patches of fog the truck thermometer rapidly fell as low as 15° and then shot back up as soon as we found clearing.  Rural roads are snow-covered and icy.
 

Beautiful night for a walk too, with brilliant starlight above the ground fog and a bright moon.

My daughter Nora got to play in the snow for the first time. She loved it. Then took my son to the school at the bottom of the mountain to go sledding.  I was saying we are overdue for a year without a warning level event here, been since 2002. This won’t be the year. Ended up with 5.2”. 

Down to 27 now.  Roads are very icy up here.

1.6” here in Clarksburg. Snow was slow to stick even though the hi temp was 39°F (late morning) and the temp was at 35°F at (rain) onset. Even when air temps dropped to freezing, the warm ground ate trillions of sacrificial flakes. 

The finale at the end was rippin’ fun.

I don’t want to take away from the fun, but this event really underscored the UHI that is DC once more. We had enough heavy snow, that in a rural field would have amounted to 2-3 inches, but was quickly vanquished by the concrete and steel.

It’s sad. I really appreciate everyone’s pictures. It was fun nonetheless.

How so?  Weenies looks at the snowfall clown maps like that is what is going to be on the ground. That just says what is going to fall based on a 10:1 ratio, not what is actually on the ground.

Glad I left the lights up for an extra week! Time to take them down between the washout this coming weekend. Snow stuck to all the trees making it very pretty outside. 2", Just enough snow to sled and make a snowman.

You should save those images for a Christmas card/postcard! Pretty pics (and your house looks like a literal gingerbread house in that top pic!)

These pics are now gracing my laptop! I am blasting some killer EDM tracks at 225 decibels as I look at that snow!

YOU REALLY NEED TO AMPLIFY THE SPEAKERS TO EIGHTEEN WHEN YOU PLAY THIS TRACK IN THE PRESENCE OF SNOW!
