Look how calm the inlet in OC is right now. Come back and check it in 24 hours.

Headed to North OC this afternoon. Looking for my first beach snow storm. Look forward to taking some awesome pics. Little worried about power outages though form the gusts. The stove in the hotel room is electric. So, bringing some bread and lunch meat.

If you truly have to leave on Sunday dont do it. I was there for a storm a couple of years ago that was a little over a foot and was stuck there for 4 days. When I finally left the back roads still had not been touched. I was able to leave by driving through tire tracks people with 4x4's had made. So to answer your question. I would not chase on the island itself. But Salisbury might be a good spot. 

I am going to edit this and add If you can stay for a few days it is worth it. Nothing better than standing on the beach with 35 MPH winds and pounding snow. It is quite a sight to see. 

Hmmmmm. Just saw this.  I just booked a room on the island. I was planning on leaving Sunday. If I bring my work laptops I can stay an extra day. But I do have a 4x4 Jeep Wrangler if that helps.

Ok, I'll close this contest, but if anybody would have had cherries first, it would have been a 3 point headstart.   If @diataewould have put cherries first, it would have been a 9.5 list.

Ok, sodas.

Pepsi, Coke, (flavored and diet versions are acceptable), Sprite, Mountain Dew, Dr. Pepper, Root Beer (any brand), Fresca, Fanta, Ginger Ale

Cauliflower is a punishment from the Godverse

cauliflower.  yay or nay?

Mashed cauliflower with grated Italian cheese. Mashed potatoes cousin. MMMMMM. Cauliflower soup isn't bad either.

I may pull the trigger on a room in Ocean City this weekend. Hoping I can get out there after work before it gets messy.

Someone in OC may need to add snowshoes next to the flipflops in their beachwear store.

Sandra Bullock couldn't afford a Patagonia? 

I have an unboxed electric cordless snowblower I'm waiting to try out. Hopefully this new threat at the end of the month will give me that chance.

Yeah we just did one to Deep Creek and made a trip out of it Saturday-Wednesday. It was one for the books, almost 20" and true blizzard whiteout conditions at times. Awesome event. 

What's cold without snow? To sit and watch it snow in front of a fireplace with hot chocolate and going out to do a jebwalk or sledding, skiing, etc. Then coming back in and warming up by the fire again. Can't beat it. Cold and dry or cold and wet is a rather boring way to experience winter. Last weekend was my first chase ever. And my wife who loves the Sun and warm weather was gracious enough to entertain my snow pursuits. lol

Time for a roadtrip to Salisbury to try and catch a flurry or two 

Snow chasin for us is a good way to rack up hotel points. . I'd chase this one but I'm on call.

The NW shift. It’s happening!  Lol. I’m drinking. Don’t listen to me, but watch happy hour pull us all back in. That cold front was slow as hell to get here. Means it doesn’t have enough push. So my thoughts—it stays closer than modeled and we can pull out victory in the jaws of defeat. Yep. Full on wishcasting! LFG!! 

You're not lyin. I was surprised to wake up to 40 degree temp and moderate to heavy rain. Thought we would have flipped before 7am. 

Was able to make it to Harrisonburg, VA yesterday to stay overnight. Yesterday at around 3pm it was 14 degrees and the snow was almost whiteout conditions at times. We made it to Harrisonburg, VA at about 4pm. Lots of cars on the side of the road. We stopped off to get some groceries for the hotel. There was a good 3-4 inches on the roads in town. I forgot to bring my ruler to measure the snow at the end. But I'd say anywhere from 6 to 8 inches. I was hoping for a foot. But we started getting pingers at the end. 

The pic is from the jeep on I-81 at 3:30pm about 13 miles north of Harrisonburg, VA.

It's not bad for a college town.  Some good places to eat.  Enjoy the view.  Are you doing Hotel Madison?

Nah. Marriott. I just want to watch the snow and go out and have dinner or something. Real quick. Not trying to make it a vacation. It's only an hour and a half away.

Booked a room in Harrisonburg, VA. Should be mildly more exciting than Adelphi, MD. lol If it busts out there, Harrisonburg is sooooo romantic.

Just cracked open a 2014 DFH Raison D'Extra. Gonna sip on this HG bad boy slowly and let it warm up. Oh yeah.

Gonna drink some peanut butter whisky to soothe my snow starved soul. I am thinking about going to Harrisonburg, VA for the storm.

More snow in DC than Leesburg - works for me

I'll take another 6" in mid-January. Certainly is better than the last few years! 

Look at the sharp cutoff on satellite.

16.8 for the low for my back yard.

My 2nd 8"+ snowfall in 3 weeks. 

12/18 in Vermont and today at home. Solid.

I'll be in Stowe this weekend to redeem the 60 degree Christmas torch I experienced in VT in 2020. I figure Stowe is a little higher and should see some snow this weekend. But I got a nice surprise at home before I go. So sweet. 

8" here in Adelphi. 

Man that back edge on radar looks like a huge snowplow pushing the snow east. That edge is super straight.
