Charlie Brown ice skating snow out there now.

Oil tank is filled and while he was here restarting the furnace, the snow really started coming down. I'm so glad because he was a big guy and that hole would have taken a long time to dig. Moderate snow and 31.

I'm having an oil delivery right now and my deliveryman just said, "What a difference down here!" He's telling me how bad it is on route 30 and the northern end of 795. He's lucky I need oil or he'd be buried in my garden.

The yellow band is dissipating.

Yea, my radar is lying to me with these dark greens! If this was a thunderstorm, my neighbor's basement would be flooding and I'd be watering the grass.

Oh, hell yea!

I woke up to a coating, went to light styrofoam balls, then something else, now all light snow but slowly growing in intensity.

I need the radar to fill in quickly to cash in on some of heavy returns, but it's trying. Just a coating here, a mere 25 minute drive to Mappy Land.

I went out to Conowingo dam today. Saw several eagles, including this pair, but none of them were feeding in my vicinity.

Regardless of snow, hopefully the appointments aren’t for anything major.

I’ll drive you.

I find it a little funny how much we bash the gfs and then are hyper focused on every run 150+ hours out.

The forecast for the New England game now includes "snow likely."

I’ve “taught” a lot of really bright kids over the years, and I imagine @bncho would be one of the ones that when I was at the board struggling through a particularly tough math problem, I’d finally say, “Hey, bncho, give me a hint.”

Nada Niña.

Holy shit. I’d have really enjoyed having you in my class. Hopefully you would have tolerated me.

Are you really in 10th grade? That’s a classy post. You wrote what I was thinking.

Kuchera maps need to be divided by ten.

Couldn’t overcome that ugly second period.

They’ll be a different team in the third.

Washington CrAPS this period.

Dude. So sorry to hear. I've gone through some tough breakups but never with children. I can only imagine the extra weight of dealing with that on top of everything else. Hopefully, things will continue improving for you.

Is there a difference between what I’ve heard of, the snow goose, and a blue snow goose? Also, do snow geese still flock to the eastern shore in the winter? I remember seeing tons of them in the past. Finally, I also remember a time in the 70’a when the Canadian goose was not allowed to be hunted in Maryland because of low numbers. That seems crazy to even think about now.

I had an early appointment in Columbia and a midday one in Ellicott City, so dropped by Centennial Lake with my camera to see what might be around. As soon as I got out of the truck, this beauty was just sitting on a nearby post. I gave him some space and walked around him to get a better shot with the sun behind me. Also saw huge numbers of resting geese, cool ducks, and two different herons. And finally, just as I was getting back to my truck, this flew over. Not great photos because I was so surprised and not too smart, so I didn’t speed up the shutter. Pretty great winter day!
