  1. I remember paying 10 cents for 10 cards. And the place I bought them had penny candy. For a penny. God, I'm old lol.
  2. You won't die. My driveway is 200' long and I have shoveled it for 15 years. Lots of pretty big storms in that time. During the last snow in December my 12-year old helped. But for most of that time I did it solo. I will be 58 years old in March and am seriously considering a snow blower purchase at some point before the next Nino.
  3. Cold too, with mid-to-upper 20's falling to the low-to-mid 20's as the storm progresses.
  4. I think I may have seen only 5 big snowstorms (10"+) in the past 50 years in a Nina. A couple of them probably didn't reach that criteria in the metro areas, like Jan 1971 and Dec 1973 ? Other than that, its just Jan 1996, Jan 2000 and Feb 2006 as best I can recall. The models at various times in the past week have offered up 3 different storms that size. I will remain skeptical until I see a similar solution under 72 hours.
  5. 12/16- 8.7” 01/20- 0.1" 01/25- 0.4" total - 9.2"
  6. I'm not planning to plant these in the ground. Once they grow, I will move them into planters and pots that I can take outside when the weather warms up. Until then they can provide some fragrance indoors.
  7. Freezing drizzle at 31°. Rural roads are covered in a thin layer of ice . Storm total of 0.20” of liquid, drier than most of the driest models.
  8. Echoes keep redeveloping on radar keeping the light snow going here. Up to half an inch. Really pretty January night.
  9. Looks like it’s still trying to work out how our 60 hour snowfall happens.
  10. Lost 2 degrees in the last hour. Now 29 with steady fine flakes falling and coating everything. Getting slick already with fzra still to come? 0.4"
  11. Steady wet snow since 6:15 but tapering off now. Pavement covered, especially in areas that don’t get the best sun. 0.3” 31.4 degrees
  12. Good to see you posting Dave. Visited my Mom in Cumberland recently. The old Moose lodge just to the left of that image is now a marijuana dispensary and the old Kelly Springfield tire plant over that hill on the left is a growing facility, lol.
  13. Left Winchester at 5 o’clock in a light rain. 20 minutes north in Martinsburg started running into a rain/sleet mix. Now home 15 minutes north of Martinsburg and it’s a light snow/sleet mix. Trash can lids covered. 32°
  14. Did the same thing yesterday with basil, cilantro, parsley, garlic chives and oregano.
  15. QPF on both the 3k and 12k NAM was cut in half from 12Z to 18Z up here on the northern edge.
  16. Seems like that slow movement works to our advantage. Gives time for the low in the Atlantic to get the hell out of the way.
  17. 30/28 with fog lifting a bit in the past hour. Its been above freezing here for about an hour since Friday evening.
  18. QPF here is higher on the 3k NAM than it is on the 12k. That's a promising sign for my yard.
  19. Not a friend, but two woodpeckers have been terrorizing our neighborhood this week. Here’s one of them:
  20. High of 32, coldest day of 2021. Wind chills 10-20° all day.
  21. Sunny and 26/3. Wind chill of 10.
  22. Lol if GFS is correct we are above seasonal climo with all of February and March to go.
  23. 2019-20 winter (DJF) at DCA had 26 days with a negative daily temperature departure, two of those -10. But there were 65 above normal days including 26 with at least a +10.
