  1. No way! I've got a goofy pile of cut-offs and miscellaneous that's getting beetles, and I want it gone before Spring, but I'm slightly fearful that we'll run out of Winter before I run out of wood. Mostly holly and red maple from storm damage. The tidal South River froze over again this morning. Looks thin, but is bank-to-bank. Impressive for March. Low of 20f both yesterday and today.
  2. Feb total 2.82" rain/melt...6.3" of snow Highest temp 66, lowest 15
  3. Low 16f overnight but climbed to 21 by dawn eta: Drive to work in bright sunshine, South River still way out to sea. A few clouds on the horizon.
  4. Tide way out on the South River this morning. Mud flats look freeze dried. Temp 25. DP 4
  5. 1/3/25 - 0.7" Brief thundersnow 1/6/25 - 9.7" All snow 1/11/25 - 1.2" 1/19/25 - 0.3" Rain all day changed to snow for last bit 2/11-12 - 6.2" Season Total - 18.1"
  6. Ah! I think you're right. It was Kornheiser. I knew it couldn't be Dave Barry, (of South FL) who preceded them both; (in syndication). (I edited my post)
  7. Feb '83 perhaps. In the early going he was influencing other TV mets to stay low. I think WaPo humor columnist Gene Weingarten Tony Kornheiser named him "Lyin Ryan" and it stuck, referencing it on several occasions. I always bought those weather almanacs he wrote, and they were pretty good. Don't wanna say anything bad though; he worked hard. We tease because we love. (Edited)
  8. Measured 2.5" at 19:45 29f/27dp Mod-hvy snow. Walked dog...all of us covered in 1 minute. Very pretty.
  9. Just walked. Mailboxes etc fully glazed, road wet. Truck parked in driveway glazed completely. Car which i drove this noon just wet, in same driveway. 31f frz dzl Yucky.
  10. 32f and steady rain. 0.35" so far. Bit of ice on car but that's all I've seen. Absolute garbage weather eta: now that it's daylight, I see that trees and most elevated has some minor glaze. Mailbox was glazed. Also, I noticed AACo school busses seem to be rolling on schedule.
  11. January total 0.88 (0.63 of which fell on last day). 11.9" snow Highest temp 58, lowest 4
  12. After last year, Dec 2024 must be at least F+. (Unless last year can be F-. But I didn't now there was a minus possible on F. Maybe I just don't know how to fail well, even after all those years following the Redskins)
  13. Update to the ice on bay discussion: https://www.chesapeakebaymagazine.com/cd-canal-under-ice-restrictions-as-upper-bay-potomac-hit-90-ice-cover/ Interesting quote I never knew: "Under Port Condition Two, “only steel hull vessels with 1,500 minimum shaft horsepower and a main engine cooling system design that prevents blockage from ice” may transit the area, " That's a significant sized (and priced) vessel. The map : My low this morning 21f.
  14. 12 low Patches of ground showing through the snowpack now.
  15. I think that means average as of Jan 22...if that's what you're getting at. I declare that that big blue snow streak along the Gulf Coast has broken the map. I guess LA to be at over 800% of average (or more). They've run out of colors. Historic, IMHO
  16. Not overdone for our little section of tidewater, (the South ) 100% fast ice here. But I am interested to hear about the larger rivers, especially if someone has traversed the 301 bridge maybe. Nice map.
  17. A drunkard doesn't care how foolish he looks. (Eh, many of us have been there). But the next day, he regrets it; and might even apologize to his friends. Public schools, OTOH, don't care and will apparently never care. Temp up to 8 on the drive in.
  18. 11 low so far. About 13 when I awoke, but had sudden drop an hour later. Might hit 9 or so.
  19. Low of 11 here. Lowest DP was 2, so didn't feel it was likely to get below 0 even if cloud conditions improved.
  20. 1/3/25 - 0.7" Brief thundersnow 1/6/25 - 9.7" All snow 1/11/25 - 1.2" 1/19/25 - 0.3" Rain all day changed to snow for last bit Season Total - 11.9"
