C-. The very cold stretches kept it from being a D. 4th straight winter up here with well below average snow. The February tease was a bitter pill to swallow. An abrupt end to winter after the cold 3rd week of February. March appears to be a shut out.

The worst in my opinion was the blown game to Ohio St. That game happened after we turned the corner and we were playing well. We're a superior team to them and we collapsed.

Agree. Nice to have some guys that can shoot for once.

3 seed not out of the question.

Michigan has not been playing well. This is a great opportunity to solidify themselves. I expect them to play well. 2 wins this week and we may enter the Big 10 Tournament ranked nationally in the top 10.

JB brought out the 1993 card today.

Getting some moderate bursts with really nice flakes.

Steady light snow sticking to all surfaces with the sun poking through.

Very light snow. 18.

Maybe tomorrow we get a few hours of wintry fun.

This one just stings more than usual for several obvious reasons!

Cloudy and 16. Models nailed that part 7 days ago.

14.

I remember there was something like you described a couple days before the 2016 Blizzard but that was mainly around DC. Definitely remember hearing about kids stuck on busses from only an inch.

I remember the Saturday in 2013. Wasn't that the one with heavy wet snow? I think it was pretty warm that afternoon before it snowed. The one I'm talking about was another Saturday in 2012.

Do you remember that rogue band a Saturday night in February during the dismal 2012 winter? A front went through earlier in the day with some snow showers then a weak fading squall line. After that pushed through there was nothing until later that night when it started snowing. Hardly anything on radar and we got like 2-3 inches in a couple hours.

Interesting you brought that up. It was early February and Manchester pulled of 3-4 inches out of a rogue band late at night. My house was just built here and I came up from Reisterstown the next morning. When I arrived it was a solid 3 on the ground. Hampstead got maybe an inch. The cutoff was very similar to January 19th storm this year. Once you it went south of us and got to Walmart amounts drastically decreased. Seems to be something about that first ridge heading north on 30 leaving Walmart as the cutoff often. The band faded heading south so by the time it got to Reisterstown it only snowed about a half inch. It was definitely from that storm that hit Lancaster area with 10 inches from the connective bands. It was like a weird inverted trough.

I think about how incredibly some of those years were all the time and that's why it's easy to accept the recent drought. Don't forget we somehow managed to get close to average in 2017/18 and 2018/19. Also look how lucky we got in 2020/21.

Right where we want it!

Also has some light snow Saturday night into Sunday morning

All the MECS and HECS model runs and wishcasting is just BS! How good does 3-6 inches of cold powder sound now even if it's only light to moderate rates over an 18-24 hours. I can certainly agree to a long duration moderate event with no temp or column issues where every flake counts. Instead were grasping for a dusting. Lol

Freezing out! Only 18.

It was Plow'n on his way to meet Stormtracker for a beer.

We got unlucky the week after the storm on the 19th of January. That entire week we had plenty cold and not one threat materialized. First one was on Tuesday/Wednesday and that failed. Then there was a chance on Friday that never got going and finally the following Monday chance that failed. Had we just had one more moderate event that week and cashed in this week with at least a moderate event this would have been a very solid winter. Not to be!
