I think @Chris78nailed it for our area, but I might go C- rather than D+ As a fan of cold weather, 4 consecutive mornings below zero is rare. And a -4.5 departure for the coldest month of the year was enjoyable for me.

For O’s fans, highly recommend this new book about Earl Weaver, “The Last Manager.” Here’s a passage about Jim Palmer’s early experience with Earl: In June 1967, the Orioles sent Palmer to Rochester to rehab. During his first game Weaver walked to the mound and told him to challenge Johnny Bench with the bases loaded. “Throw the ball over the middle of the plate. This guy’s nothing,” Weaver said. Bench blasted a grand slam. “I learned a lot from Earl Weaver,” Palmer said. “The first thing I learned was that he didn’t know a thing about pitching.” https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1668030926?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_image

Looking like the #2 seed in the Big Ten tournament if Michigan State takes care of business tomorrow.

Report today says Grayson is experiencing pain in the back of the elbow, which is different than the tricep they mentioned yesterday. Supposedly not related to the ligament but we’ll see. And Andrew Kittredge who was signed to shore up the bullpen in front of Felix Bautista is having knee surgery and will miss “multiple months.”

The injury bug is rolling through the Orioles camp. Gunnar Henderson is a question mark to be ready for Opening Day. And now Grayson Rodriguez has a sore arm: triceps tendonitis.

37° with some flurries blowing around. Had a wind gust a few minutes ago of 49 mph.

0.45” earlier. Barometer down to 29.22” and still falling.

Now I know how the Bears felt after they ran into Jayden Daniels.

Agreed. I thought he went out of his way to not gloat. Would share photos after the storm, but never updated much during the event.

Not thrilled about the early 6:30 start. But looking forward to a good one if I can get to a TV by then.

1.26” of liquid and 3.4” of snow here for February. I’ve picked up about 8” of liquid since the end of August.

Some light snow falling here now. Small flakes.

Partly cloudy and 14/8. Hoping for a snow shower this morning.

Best snow cover I ever saw was in my yard in Cumberland, MD in Jan-Feb 1978. 57 consecutive days of at least 10” on the ground. What amazing winters those were in the late 70’s.

That explains why we didn’t get the WWA. We don’t have that problem here because our horses and wagons don’t slide on snowy roads.

No advisory here. Lack of societal impact lol. Per the HWO: This was issued for areas between the Blue Ridge and Interstate 95 due to enhanced societal impact during the morning rush hour.

Day 12-13 GFS with a southern slider that drops accumulating snow from New Orleans across the NW corner of Florida and up to the Tidewater of Virginia.

Sun just came out here after 15 minutes of flurries.

Just saw a few small flurries blowing around. 18/1

Too early for me to grade the winter here with March still looming. But to date it’s been another lackluster season. I have about an inch more of snow than last year. About 60% of climo. I have enjoyed the consistent cold weather, but paying the electric bill has taken some of the fun out of that. Some onion snow would certainly be welcome before March Madness and the start of baseball season.

Some pretty intense snow squalls blowing through here this morning. I-81 is shut down due to jack-knifed tractor trailers blocking the southbound lanes. Martinsburg airport recorded a 56 mph wind gust earlier this morning, after a 62 mph gust in the afternoon yesterday.

Maryland put on a shooting clinic tonight, getting their 20th win of the season. Shot 58% from the field, 46% from 3. Outscored Iowa in the second half 54-24.

Slow bleed

Wow under 2” here. Still time to get to 0.
