The only downside at all to this winter was that it had the potential to be even greater. Some very minor tweaks and we could have had 2 feet on Feb 2nd, and another foot for the mid month storm. Would have been 60+ days of snowcover. This was a PHD level winter but it had the potential to be a nobel prize, once in a lifetime winter

To all the boxelder beetles that decided to come out and play when it hit 80 - RIP BOZOS GUESS YOU DIDNT PLAN ON THIRD WINTER

The dewpoints have been absolutely terrible today. Can't remember a muggy day like this with snowpiles still on the ground

I follow this stuff pretty closely. It's going to be bad for some time. Most of the oil wells in the middle east are shutting down because there's no place to put the oil. When wells are shut down it's difficult and expensive to start them up again. So basically 1/4 of the worlds oil supply is going to be missing for months. Gas will be getting very, very expensive.

I think my mistake was keeping the thermostat set on 68 for the couple of weeks in February before we moved in. It's an 1880's rowhome in Baltimore so insulation is probably not the best. Gotta load up on sweaters for next winter b/c no way am I ever setting it higher than 62 again lmao

I just got my first heating bill as a home-owner and now I don't know if I like snow anymore

With the exception of some imaginary snow that never came to be, this whole stretch starting last August has been glorious. Feels like it hasn't been hot in years and years now. Hope we can keep it up till May, do three months in the pen, then do it all again

Just wait until July. In April/May People notice it's warm out for the first time in awhile and think "lets go outside", then a good 50% of them get bored and go back to watching tv after about a few weeks. I see it every year.

My AC needs a new capacitor and I'm lazy so it'll probably take me a few weeks at least to fix. Would be perfect timing for a March/April full of backdoor cold-fronts

Not to deb but even aside from accumulations this isn't really a fun storm. Very sloppy snow, lots of puddles and mud everywhere. Not prime jebwalking conditions

I think the past few winters have really helped me appreciate how much variety we have in terms of snow-events and gradients here. It's probably the best thing about Maryland winters that you can live in a place that averages 10" a year and there's still going to be some storm where you jack over someone with a 50" climo. This event is a northeast gradient, earlier this year was South-east, climo obviously favors North-west/South-west but we have it all

Trammel Starks Pier 32 is mandatory for sn++

This is a zero sum game. Someone elses snow is snow that isn't yours. Tale as old as time. 32 degrees right now in Columbia

All the haters killed its self confidence

They kind of do just given how delicate the set up is. There's some kind of bifurcation point here and we're riding the boundary line of that
