Itstrainingtime Posted October 10, 2023 Author Share Posted October 10, 2023 Saw a mention of this in the MA thread and instantly remembered...44 years ago today, I measured 1" of snow on this morning. Game #1 of the World Series in Baltimore was postponed on this night because of snow and cold. I was 14 at the time and didn't fully realize then how incredible it was to have measurable snow this early. Edit: the date that I measured 1" of snow was actually the morning of the 9th. Game #1 was played on the 10th after being rescheduled. Double edit: Never doubt my stats - the snow fell the morning of the 10th. I confused myself. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itstrainingtime Posted October 10, 2023 Author Share Posted October 10, 2023 Also interesting to read (and this type of information wasn't available to me in 1979) that some areas NW of Baltimore actually picked up 2-3" of snow on this date. Incredible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was very elevation dependent. If you/anyone is familiar with the UMBC campus, there is a loop around the campus with the west side the first hill of any elevation on the piedmont, with east being the coastal plain. This wx d*ck cut classes to go up to the top of loop to watch it snow and accumulate some vs go to class at the bottom of the hill and watch wet snow and rain fall. But there is a song written about me, so I've got that going for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not alone - I was a freshman in high school in Millersville (PA) and was sitting in math class when the teacher came out of nowhere and slapped his hand down on my desk. Scared the living shit out of me. He said "Michael, stop staring out the window...haven't you seen snow before?" Jerk move by him. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar situation, but the teacher said I'd never make money staring out a window. Little did he know I'd be a truck driver and that I indeed would make my money staring out a window...lol 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone made such a big deal (rightfully so) over the snowfall we had on 10/29/2011 - so what is more impressive? And this isn't a question just for you, but to all - Is 5-6" of snow that falls on 10/29 more impressive, or 1" of snow that falls on 10/10? For me, hard choice. I'm going to say 1" on 10/10 only because I'm pretty confident that I will never see snow on the ground again here during the 2nd week of October. Not that I'd expect 5"+ on 10/29, either.

Jns2183 Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Mowing for the foreseeable future:That lowered rain by an inch since this morning. With this drying trend we will probably go from 2" to less than 1/2"by game time just as this year as been. It's so rare to go from 1/2" to 2"+ in 2 days, yet the opposite happens 10xSent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 Highs both today and tomorrow should be within a couple degrees of normal in the mid to upper 60's. Sunny skies for the next 3 days to close out the work week. Bout of course the weekend means rain chances. Greatest probability of rain will be Saturday into Saturday night with less chances on Sunday. Chilly on both days with highs only in the mid-50's. Records for today: High 87 (1904) / Low 23 (1929) / Rain 2.62" (2002) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm expecting Nov/Dec torch(s) as "normal" (uses rather loosely) NINO climo suggests that may be the case, but so far, autumn has been real nice. Just need to find a way to get the storms ot of the way midweek, and not on weekends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
