RGEM wants nothing to do with this. Shame it's not on board.

I hope this system misses us.  Our infrastructure cannot handle another beat down  like last night's.

Get this within the NAM’s wheelhouse at hour 3, and this place will explode.

If anyone wants to come out, @MillvilleWx and I are going to do the local chase thing...and I got room in my truck for others. Heading to Keyser's Ridge and probably on to Davis and a few spots in between. Waterfalls are completely frozen and you could build a house on Deep Creek the ice is so solid. Great pics if nothing else. Should be an intense few hours during the peak of this thing as well.

I'm excited to see what the Bittinger and Frostburg mesonet stations report this weekend. Bittinger hit a new network record low of -15° with this last cold wave. Maybe we break it?

Yes. Keep it juicing. 1” at minimum would be nice. Get the brown snow pack a new white coat

I was surprised that I got down to -16.8 last weekend...usually Bittinger does a little better than I do. Tell folks you need to do some serious QA for the mesonet sites and come out with us
