Wow 1.3"! I'm just down the road near the interx of Ridge Road and 355 (Milestone) and have just a coating. I'd like to see what the high spots in Damascus are doing

Moderate snow with about a quarter inch on grass and starting to stick on less salty parts of the streets, 34 degrees (a little NE of Germantown)

I tried to find a pic of my late 70s Bearcat weather radio - it was off white with an orange on/off button. That's all I had, along with local news and 936-1212 LOL I'm getting more hopeful for the snow with latest models. Let's keep the good trends going and fill that gap in the western part of our forum!

With afternoon temps well into the 40s you're probably looking at just wet roads on the drive home. Roads might be dicey after midnight though!

This run fits our new climo with the favored S&E suburbs. My Calvert folks got like 2.5 times as much snow as me last winter and I expect that to continue.

Thanks for bringing that memory up; Now I have start drinking early! I drove up from Orlando for that game and got a bad sunburn along with the crushing loss Starting to get hopeful for Saturday night!

Enjoy! That's the way if you live in this area -- go north or south if you want snow

I was in northern Calvert for the absurd 1994 ice storms. We had three inches of solid glaze ice and the damage was terrible. Whole trees collapsed and some people had no elec or water for days. My parents' tree line took years to look normal again

I've been in MontCo for 32 years and have family in southern MD. I think the winter climo has changed where being in the "northern and western suburbs" is no longer an advantage. Marginal, mixed events are further north and we miss the southern sliders/coastal scrapers, leaving a snowfall minima in the center of our region.

Welp, we got snow on Dec. 5 in 2002 and 2009 and those winters turned out pretty good And look at some of the winters ending in a 6: 1966, 1996, 2016...

It's been wild lately. I got about 10" total last winter in Germantown while relatives in Calvert got like 20-25; I think you all got even less than me? Southern MD also got a real big one a couple years ago that we missed. It seems like a new climo where rain/snow line is way NW of where it used to be, and then you miss the southern sliders and coastal scrapers.

Parents' place in northern Calvert County

Snowing and 27 in Germantown, about 1/3" on the ground. Haven't other winters with first snows on Dec. 5 turned out pretty good?

You relegated the half-n-half to a bottom shelf -- yeah you're doing it right! 33 and dropping; hoping for some Dec. 5 magic

Nice map! Virginia living right: UVA in ACC championship and chance for playoffs, VT has shiny new coach, and SNOW
