  1. Yup, 31 with a few flurries. Not as terrible of a winter as I expected.
  2. This time last year it was lights out in the snow department. Today, we have snow. I love winter.
  3. Definitely helps to have good cold prior to a storm. We might scrape 4" in Reisterstown. It's pounding.
  4. Just filling in at the fire department today for their funeral.
  5. Based off what's happening to our SW, maybe we get a better front end thump?
  6. 14.2 in Reisterstown. New record low for my site (5 years of data).
  7. We all lol at projected ice totals, but we better hope they're wrong this time. We have cold air locked in ahead of the event and this is falling at night, with wind behind. A couple counties could get whacked pretty hard with decent power outages and trees into houses, especially once you get up towards Frederick.
  8. I could see LWX adding NW Montgomery/Howard/Baltimore and Carroll to the watch for the snow/icing potential. Would be a low end warning, but still doesn't seem too far fetched, IMO.
  9. The victory here is the 4" the 12z Euro has for DCA, which gets 99% of climo by mid January. Hey maybe we'll all win out...the storm will jog east by 50 miles and it stays all snow.
  10. Yup. My dad worked for a water department for almost 30 years and excessive salt application is a bad deal. We've made good strides with being more conservative with application and while necessary for maintaining roads during bad weather, there's always room for improvement. Saltwater contamination of watersheds is not some silly woke thing. It's nearly permanent and has significant economic and environmental issues.
  11. VDOT is using beet juice and salt alternatives this year. Not joking...much less salt application.
