I haven't measured yet but I've got probably 2" just by looking out there. The grass is gone, plows are pushing snow. I can hear the rumbling in the distance. I just noticed the flake size is increasing. Looks like a beatdown is about to hit the lowlands.
It's a classic snow fog look out there. It's a raging snowstorm already here in the AAC lowlands. The grass is pretty much gone, plows are down, and a north breeze is starting to move. I'd say I'm closing in on 2" already. LFG!
I'm hanging out. Come on over to jackpotville! I've got plenty!
It went from nothing to driveway white in 5 minutes. Let's get this party started! Good luck to everyone! LFG!
The little bit of melting from earlier has started to freeze back up and the sun gets lower and the thicker clouds are moving in. Temp at 32 and falling. LFG!!!!!
I've got blue sky to my north and south with a stream of high clouds coming from due west. My theory is where this stream of high clouds is, is where the max QPF will be. How's that for a weenie theory? It's also only 33 here.
Cold this morning. 20 here for the low. The snow on the ground probably helped cool it down. Looks like clouds will be arriving around noon. It should look pretty dark and cloudy by sunset. It should make for a wintery vibe on my afternoon hike. I'm thinking about going out to Sugarloaf mountain near Fredrick to watch the clouds stream in this afternoon.
Absolutely gorgeous deep winter morning here in the AA County lowlands. The sun is sparkling on the remaining snowcover and the land is frozen solid. Even the tidal wetlands are freezing and waiting on the champagne powder. The calm before the storm has settled over the hardwood forest.
26 out there with the sun coming through the snow covered, frozen forest. Deep winter arrived last night with an epic entrance. Now we New England for weeks.
Humbling experience. I went from 43 to below freezing in 5 minutes. Within 10 minutes of being 43 it was dumping and blowing powder and sticking everywhere. Than the lightning streaking across the sky every few minutes. Totally wild. I was on the Catoctins earlier today thinking I scored. Hell.. I saw the craziest shit right here at 160' elevation lol
The only thundersnow I remember like this was Nov 11th, 1983 during a freak snowstorm that struck when I was in 3rd grade. I remember getting stuck in school until midnight.
