Solid A here in the South River watershed. It was the best winter since 2014-15. It was cold when it counted. I started the season with a severe thundersnow storm that dropped an inch in less than 10 minutes. A few days later I jacked on the January 6th event with almost 10". That stayed on the ground for over 3 weeks. February featured a 6.5" snowstorm. Season 17.5" A

26 here. I thought it was susposed to warm up this weekend. It's been windy and miserable for the past two days. Hopefully today is better.

Crazy how there's no rain for the foreseeable future.

I noticed that too. It's been pouring here for a couple of hours. That back edge keeps pumping those yellows north.

I hiked South Mountain on the coldest day of the winter. I was alone and it was extremely quiet. It was only 0-5 degrees so I felt safe being up there alone. The wind is still ripping. Not much rain yet bet it's coming.

Hiking with rain gear. Just sprinkles so far. The wind is ripping in Crownsville. I've been hearing dead trees coming down. Kinda scary but it's not my first time.

He was hoping the drought until yesterday. There's a lot of soccer mom's that think we're all going to die lol

Budget cuts. I guess I'll just watch the sky and hope for rain lol

I've always ignored severe weather forecast. This area doesn't do severe very often, especially in March. What I'm usually interested in is rain and how much.

I'm expecting a brief gusty shower. These setups usually don't produce much. We need a real storm. You know.. where it rains and we get more than .20 from a 1-2" forecast.

I've been humbled by those short mountains. It is amazing how the effect the clouds. Even out my way we get wavy cloud leftovers.

As long as they keep it in here. Otherwise I'm out if it spreads outside of this thread.

Finally! Someone besides me that tracks all storms. Let's make a thread lol

I agree. I'm not a huge fan of destructive winds and hail but I do love a loud thundery summer night with lots of lightning and heavy rain. The gfs has some potential heavy rainers next week. Fingers crossed.

Once the thread goes to nonsense like this one has that means it's spring. These fokes will fade away over the next couple of weeks. The regulars that enjoy all weather will stick around and we'll complain about thunderstorms missing us until Nov lol

The trend of not being able to buy a raindrop continues. The next 10 days looks extremely boring. When's the last time we had a coastal storm? 2016?

I was living in Carroll County with the devil. We missed it lol

Honestly, I feel pretty lucky with these past two winters imby. Last winter I scored two events within a 10 day period of deep winter. This year was like last year but with a longer period of deep winter. This winter felt great and I really enjoyed the adventures I took during deep winter.

Except for the past 5 years winter never started lol

Hopefully everything looks terrible like it did this fall lol.

I'm getting that seed popping itch. Ive been doing a high production garden for many years. One of my favorite crops is tomatoes. For the past 3 years I've done heirloom verities. This year im going to rotate back to one verity, Better Boys. My favorite verity. I've grown probably 50 different strains of tomatoes over the past several years. Nothing beats a big, red, juicy tomato. They make a beautiful red sauce. When I throw together 10 different color tomatoes the sauce can be a brown color. I've also added the legal limit of cannabis plants. They take up a large area of garden space but we'll worth the harvest. All the old ladies on my street are making their own cookies. You think your neighbors are happy to see a bag of tomatoes. You should see their face when you give em-a- sack-uh-weed lol I also grown. Cucumbers Zucchini Potatoes Herbs Sunflowers

Next weeks cool down looks more like average temps for the first week of March. It's spring in the lowlands. I'll be preparing my potato crop next weekend. Winter ending isn't a bad thing. It's the beginning of a fresh new season.

Good thing it's not July. Drought city here we come.

I hope we do get rain. It's been super dry this winter. One of the reasons we held on to snowpack for so long is because we didn't get our usual rain the day after to wash it away. Ive had like 2" of moisture this year. Most of it fell as snow in January.

Was that the year it was 85-90 almost everyday for weeks? I remember it looked like mid Summer by April first that year. That was the worst winter. We didn't get a flake here. The coldest morning was like 28.
