Light snow and calm wind at Deep Creek. 18.2 / 9.3
-
The wind keeping the lake churned up last weekend was pretty much the only thing keeping it from freezing over. I assume it will be solid and snow covered at some point this weekend. Every time I check my cameras, it’s snowing.
-
20/14 at Deep Creek. DP ticking up steadily and the temp will follow, although it’s colder than I expected it to be this evening. Going to miss this airmass, the past 3-4 days have been glorious up here. Rare stretch of decent cold without much wind.
-
7/4 at DCL. Crystal clear skies and calm winds. Feels like we have a little further to fall. Lake is just primed to ice over, too bad it’s warming up after tonight.
-
This storm is on track to meet/exceed the January 19 storm impact at DCL. Consistent SN+ for at least the past 90 minutes not anywhere near as squally as I might have expected it to be. -
26/24 at DCL, steady moderate and occasional SN+. Classic winter day here, not extreme but attention holding.
-
33.2 / 29.5 and snowing on the cameras at DCL. Heading out at zero dark thirty tomorrow, hopefully we keep power through the event so I can work from something bigger than an iPhone.

1.26” at DCL with another round incoming. Will silence “the lake is drying up” on FB crowd for at least a day maybe.

Most of the highlands you can walk across the rivers and streams and in some cases, not even get your feet wet. It's difficult to fully appreciate unless you've been out there.

100 / 76 on the Leesburg PWS 81 / 68 at DCL A near 20*F differential in the mid afternoon is pretty atypical for the warm seasons, not as uncommon in winter
-
1.67" yesterday at DCL, 2.87" for the month. Considerably less at home in Leesburg. Lawn was last mowed on June 11.
-
They tend to reverse pretty quickly, as I expect this one too as well as the hot pattern of the past month appears to be transitioning and we get closer to the heart of tropical season.
-
1.20" month to date at DCL, .74" in the past 48 hours. Deep Creek Lake is approximately 12" lower compared to this time last year, with most all of that deficit materializing during the "flash drought" period.
-
Perhaps the highlands can give the Potomac a drink tonight after all…
-
If the tropics start cooking as expected, no way we don’t get in on that eventually. May not save July but hard to see any drought seriously persisting beyond a few more weeks.
