My cheapy thermometers are at 6. Driving home from the beach yesterday along 404 and 50, all the rivers are completely frozen over including the Choptank in Denton and the Severn and South in Annapolis. The Narrows was mostly frozen and the Bay had a lot of ice on the western side, but the center and even along Sandy Point was still open. I heard The Plunge will only be a dip this year as they want participants to only go knee deep.

At the beach for an apparent snow chase bust.

But family back home saying -20 degrees this morning in Davis.

You need to sharpen your chase skills lol. 

I woke up this morning and started choking. I couldn't figure out what it was. I even felt a little buzz. That's when I looked outside and realized I was smoking cirrus like a cowboy. 

8 degrees and smoking cirrus. Congrats Nagshead.

I can't quite remember the year.... 2018 maybe.  Weekend trip to BW and Canaan.  Timed it perfectly with  an arctic front.  Arrived Friday afternoon, about 18" had just fallen and the temp was -1F with roaring winds.  Next day at the sled track was -1F again.  Light snow never stopped.   Probably picked up 2 - 3" of wind swept fluff.  Cleared off Saturday night and the winds died down and early Sunday morning the thermometer on the deck at the house we rented read -21F.  Coldest temp I've ever experienced, although without the wind it felt a lot warmer than the 2 previous days.  All that said, the Allegany Plateau is literally Heaven on earth.

 

4F for the low here this morning. Coldest low of the week.

Naw. Let it linger. We might go another decade without winter. Enjoy every day with snow.

Hard to enjoy the snow when it is underneath a think layer of ice. This shit is hard to walk on- I mean literally, I can walk on it if I don't fall on my ass lol.

I've done 32.5 miles on it since Monday. Not on flat ground either. Micro spikes and enjoy! Best week of local hiking in my life. 0 people out and gorgeous.

I walked across it this morning wheeling my recycling bin around for collection and my big ass didn't penetrate it at all.
