Sparky Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Until I see that snowflake, I will remain only mildly optimistic. I keep myself well-grounded in miserable self-loathing like any good weenie. If I'm hopeless, how can I be disappointed? Actually, don't answer that. I've been telling family/friends in Carroll a general 9-12 inches look good. Some indications tonight that might be low.

mdhokie Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I won't be happy tomorrow unless I see dendrites so big that they make their own gravity. only gravity your going to be seeing is from the rockville snow hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gymengineer Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Never tried it, will have to add it to the list. Mostly stick with Bombay and Tanqueray, Boodles once and awhile. It's a completely different taste for gins-- much smoother and less juniper. The rage was to use it with cucumber juice/cucumbers, but I like it just straight up with a lemon twist.

87storms Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 .. is the 20Z HRRR dry- slotting us? almost looks like banding to me. not sure i believe the dry slot (and i can be pessimistic sometimes). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ike Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I've been telling family/friends in Carroll a general 9-12 inches look good. Some indications tonight that might be low. I'm really more on the border with Baltimore county than in Carroll, and while my elevation isn't bad, I usually only see about half of what Westminster does. If I do get 9"+, I will happily make a snowman and eat his hat. It's been so long since we had anything over 3" here that any snowfall above 5" (which would almost double my seasonal total here) will be an extra treat to me. Again, that's arbitrary -- I have unreasonably low expectations most of the time for my immediate area. Keeps me sane. Ish. Edit: And if you'll look at that HRRR panel right above me, that's what I mean with the little snowhole directly over my area amongst the heavier returns. I'm not taking that realistically, but If I mentally prepare for that, then anything better is a pleasant surprise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I won't be happy tomorrow unless I see dendrites so big that they make their own gravity. Turtlehurricane says it's too early to rule out connection between those dendrites and Russian meteor. Soooo... It's getting warmer here.

gymengineer Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Monday is my usual grocery day so the storm was considerate enough to schedule itself accordingly, lol. I only do all the laundry if there's a chance we would lose power. Right, 'cause it's ok to go without food for a couple of days (a diet), but I definitely need clean towels, sheets, and underwear.
