Oops! Have been watching this and am interested to see what significant blowout conditions might look like with all this ice (piers in my pics are not my own ha).

So did you live in a bunch of places in Minnesota before you lived in a bunch of places in Virginia?

All right, another random positive thought about this glaciated concrete snowpack...it is really...tidy. Well behaved. I'm not tracking anything inside. No mud, no melting snow globs, no puddles. Life on an ice planet. Birds and squirrels really busy today eating anything they can, which is mostly berries it seems. And seeds. I encourage everyone who has flower beds to not clean them all out in fall, to leave the seed heads standing for food. You will have visitors. Also future butterflies and moths are wintering under there. #TeamMess

Sneakily replying to this here . Ice looking good! Turkey Pt and that whole peninsula is one of my favorite spots around NE MD. Just was out for maybe an hour trying to take some pics. So cold for fingers!!! Will look through later but I was being quick so idk lol.

WxUSAF needs to come back and rescue his storm

Give it to us straight.

15 degrees at 11 a.m.

Haha. I get both points of view. Raging appetite for more! But also..can't be mega depressed right now because *waves in direction of glistening bulletproof snowpack*

It was on land/the snowpack. Sorry if my post was confusing. However! I have seen a fox or two explore out on the river ice in the past as well. Rarely. It could be they were going after the smell of fish remains or something from eagles, for food (?) but this would usually be when there is some melting, even a little. This reminds me to watch out there though!

Can vouch for that northern western shore fast ice. Ob...a fox trotting across the glacier's surface as the sun sets. Very wintry!

F it, I'll hang on to track a slight chance of a tiny pack refresher. I feel emotionally strong enough at this time.

Low of 7.

I'm in the light blue and I'm ready to abscond with this. Run away. Elope. Tell the families later.

That's right. In part it's where we live. The land of the possible but not probable. Iykwim. Intermittent rewards. Tailor made for both addiction and torment. Lol

If you have a chance - how are streets in Columbia doing?

Or buckle down. Always work for us lol.

In order to model good pbp manners for all the new and infrequent posters

All banter shall cease for euro...eh?

Sausage fest so very realistic

Been wondering about this too, specifically whether models may have "misjudged" the snow/ice cover contribution (? I have no guess, question for mets)

Just gonna drop this here...and also ping @eyewall who's been posting some beauts. (glad you're safe!)

I had to explain the Georgetown joke to Nomz sorry for the banter but it's only going to keep bewildering the poor guy

One year we had a troll who reported rain in Georgetown during a snow event. It's now a running joke. (getting a wee bit tired imho but that's just me it gets the laughs.

Low of 14. Nearest mesonet station in Abingdon low of 12. Side note, it's wild how often I am pretty much exactly 2 degrees higher than that station. Have come to expect it.

Pleased to say I found it easily before reading these helpful posts but thanks!
