That sound fun. I never really considered a rain hike up there. That would be cool in a tropical remnant environment. Like a mountain tropical rainforest hike. Probably a way better chance at that than a blizzard these days lol
-
True. The maga drought isn't helping. The Shenandoah mountains have been a tinder box the past couple visits I've made out there. I wanted to climb Stoney Man in the snow this winter but that hasn't happened.
-
It's mind blowing honestly. You'd think just being higher elevation would mean at least some snow. What happened to high elevation snows on out mountains? That's been nonexistent forever.
-
Whats up with this? I've been watching the Shenandoah mountains for a snowing hiking trip for years. 4k plus mountains that never get snow. I've had more snow here alone the bay than Big Meadow at like 4500' elevation for the past 5 years.
-
Yeah. HGR to Frederick has been basically north Georgia for years. In the 90's that area was the Tug Hill of MD. I knew the lowlands wouldn't have winter this season because the past two winters had a short period of winter. My plan was to spend a lot of time this season hiking in the snow in the Catoctins. I've had more snow here near Annapolis then them this season.

I'm going back to Lacona. Life is to short for waiting on a 10 day unicorn. I've gotten interest from a couple others. I know a spot with 4 units in the same camp (sled camp) at 1400 elevation on the upslope Tug Hill. We could do a Mid Atlantic snow chase. Guaranteed snow.

That can you just kicked is going to hit JI in the face lol
-
It's been 2 weeks of model runs with a good pattern 10 days away. It rotates from horrible to great every other day. But nothing really changes lol
-
I don't. Wtf is he saying? Lol
-
All of our classic winters go like this lol. The lack of snow in the nw zones is actually getting kinda weird. I haven't even been able to snow hike in the Catoctins. The top of the Catoctins has done worse then my area for many years now.
-
Winter have ALWAYS sucked here. This is absolutely nothing new. I've been here my entire life. Last winter was a great winter. I had 3 weeks of winter last year. The year before I had 11 days of winter (below freezing with snowpack). It only happens every few years on average. This year probably won't have any period of winter since the past 2 did. I suggest people travel. I know.. it's not the same. I suggest renting a house and staying for a week or more. I did that and it was almost like snow at home.
-
As I watch our chances for snow go poof as usual I'm plotting another Tug Hill trip to Locona NY. I know Katabatic is down. Who else is coming to snow camp? I'm thinking over the next couple of week things are going to get wild again up there. This time I'm taking snowshoes.
-
Lol I'm sorry buddy! I never want to steal anyone's joy! You enjoy your little slop shower! Lol I'm just being a stuck up snow snob. It will wear off in a few more days lol
-
I'll never look at a snow squall the same way ever again. Just imagine the most intense squall you've ever seen. Add 2-3" per hour to that and make it last 7 hours and drop 40" of snow. That's a squall lol. That what I experienced last week. A shower of mix precip just moved through the lowlands.
-
Thankfully it's not the other way around lol
-
It's still there. It's just now more of a severe thunderstorm threat lol.
-
Lol yup. It's a massive cutter with rain to Hudson Bay now. Who knows what the next run will show.
-
The end of the gfs run looks a little different this run lol. Definitely moved away from the euro.
-
Hobby? Who would choose this as a hobby? This is a mental illness that most of us were born with lol
-
I remember a lot of lightning flashes. I got stuck in a fedex truck on the 495 beltway until 3am lol
-
Latest euro run reminds me of that commute disaster about 15 years ago. We got 5" of wet snow in a few hours. That's for the Thursday Friday thing.
-
What was that lol. Some weird runs overnight.
-
Great storm today. At least we can still get moisture. Radar looks impressive still.
-
Looks like the Euro is starting the cave to the gfs. LFG!
-
Radar looks great. It's nice to see actual moisture. Not the usual moisture starved last minute rug pull we're so use to.
