My name is <redacted> and I am a snowaholic experiencing withdrawl... Took the family up to Deep Creek this weekend during winter for the first time... what an experience. Got up there Thurs night and there was well over a foot on the ground. Stayed at a nice little cabin with a fireplace. It was in the teens all weekend. Friday the fam and I experienced Wisp and went tubing for the first time. Sat morning we woke up, went to a little bakery for breakfast and I sat there drinking my coffee while it poured snow with temps around 19. Driving home I got to experience first hand how magical Deep Creek/the Allegheny Front is... It snowed heavily all the way up 219 with temps in the upper teens... It was snowing heavily with temps in the teens as I drove down 68 towards Frostburg... I crested Big Savage Mountain and it began to taper off noticeably... I started to see the sun shine through the clouds... the road turned from snowy to wet... as I descended through Frostburg, the snow ended completely, the sun came out and the temp spiked to the mid-upper 20s. From Cumberland to all the way home it was sunny with wet, salty roads... with temps increasing the whole way from 19 to 36... I thought this trip would satisfy my snow needs for a little while... especially right after our little storm on Monday... It didn't. I can't wait to go back up there as soon as possible.

Up at Deep Creek for the weekend... Around 12-15" on the ground in most places. Currently SN- and 18 at 2600ft. My first time up here in winter. Spent the day playing in the snow and tubingat Wisp with the wife and kids. Absolutely spectacular up here right now. Sent from my SM-S911U using Tapatalk

This stuff is pure pixie dust... its like its snowing glitter. Everything caved immediately

Thats next weekend... one thing at a time

SN- in Glen Burnie... 31/11

Do you think the bay will have that much of an impact on totals given how cold its been? I noticed today driving around that most of the creeks are nearly frozen over

I find the mosaic to be highly useful in snow events... to mitigate radar "holes" https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/?parms=subregional-Virginias-comp_radar-24-1-100-1&checked=map&colorbar=undefined

The Wisp cams are the best for seeing whats going on up there... I'm shocked they still have the snowmakers on https://www.wispresort.com/mountain-report-cams/

Perhaps its been discussed already but what are the odds of some thundersnow with some of this?

This is that part of the hunt where you don't even know what to do with yourself... lol... sometimes it all just comes together nicely. We have a fantastic SNF game coming up, all schools have already closed tomorrow... kids are excited... AND, maybe something already on the horizon for next weekend. Personally I also have the added excitement that I'm taking the fam up to Wisp on Thurs for some tubing fun... if next weekend comes to fruition and we get to come home to a blizzard... sheesh, what a week.

Can confirm... lived on it for 8 years during my teen years at ~800ft in Mt. Airy... living there actually created the love of snow and elevation I have to this day...

Yes - a storm like this with zero p-type worries, models locked in and getting better up to game time is what this forum is built on...

This might need to be a thing for this thread... sexy snow truck pics... my Tundra TRD 4x4 loves playing in the snow
