SOMDweather Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Models look to be trending more favorable for SOMD for the Superbowl event. I think we'd all be happy with a 6"+ cold powder event. Hope you guys on the lower Eastern Shore get in on it too. Will be interesting to see where the mix line sets up with this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowershoresadness Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 it's the 4th quarter guys and we are down by 10 on the road. let's just see if we can steal a snowstorm win out of this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlizzardNole Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Just visiting to say hi -- I'm in Germantown but grew up in Owings (about 4 miles south of Dunkirk) so I am very familiar with how things go in the winter down there. But it's fun when it goes the other way isn't it? Remember the big January 25, 2000 storm? I ended up with just 7" from that, but my parents and siblings who still live down there (Calvert and St Marys) got like 15-20" and they were all over me LOL! I got lots of phone calls that day. My best memory was the Blizzard of '79. Northern Calvert was the jackpot in that monster. It still tops all of the storms I've seen since in my new area, including 1996 and 2010. I hope this Sunday night/Monday system takes a nice track and puts a swath of good snows west-to-east across the whole area. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi- I was in Glen Burnie for 1/25/00 but we got hit good there too. I wasn't born yet for Feb. 1979 but that whole month sounds amazing from the stats I've read and stories I've heard.

PrinceFrederickWx Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 They need to make another bay bridge from Calvert to Dorchester. I read the state has been "studying" the possibility of it again. I'm not too far from many of you "as the bird flies" but it would probably take me like 4 hours to get there lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldereagle Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Dorchester county will never suffer a bridge, the whole idea is bankrupt government insanity. There will be considerable ice, if it's real cold for a week I think the main bay very well freeze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceFrederickWx Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 Dorchester county will never suffer a bridge, the whole idea is bankrupt government insanity. Here's an article from 2013 that explains it: http://articles.baltimoresun.com/2013-05-25/news/bs-md-third-bay-crossing-20130508_1_bay-bridge-new-span-mdta Admittedly the Calvert to Talbot idea is kind of ridiculous, and adding new lanes to the existing bay bridge is an exercise in futility (I watched them do that with 695 forever), but I like the Calvert-Dorchester idea. Having just one bay bridge through Annapolis is becoming impractical, especially with so many moving to southern MD now (which is only going to increase now that Dominion Cove is being built). Its also lost tourist revenue for OC and Delaware- it would take me just as long to get to OC as Virginia Beach even though the latter is much farther away "as the bird flies". I imagine you'd end up with a lot of commuters who would live on the eastern shore and work at Calvert Cliffs, etc. The bigger issue I think would be the impact on route 2-4, which already needs more lanes in some spots. There will be considerable ice, if it's real cold for a week I think the main bay very well freeze There's no way the main bay will freeze over. The last time that happened was in the 1976-77 winter, and that had the coldest Sept.-Dec. period ever followed by the coldest month ever for the region in January 1977. There may possibly be some surface ice in some spots (that happens more often), but it just hasn't been cold enough for a long enough period.

baldereagle Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Thanks for the article. Given the economy and the deficit, seems as though any span is an extreme longshot, (seems similar to the waning possibilities for significant snow(s)on the lower shore/southern Md). Agree on the bay's freezing likelihood being low, the deep cold would have to be in place for at least a week or longer. Rivers/creeks will stiffen up. I'm old enough to recall the epic cold of the late '70's.......Feb. '79 saw heavy freezing even in the lower bay iirc.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrinceFrederickWx Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 hey what's a good site to view daily snowfall records for your city?? I'm not sure- the only ones I know how to get are the three main airports in the LWX area (DCA, IAD, BWI). You're under Mount Holly so idk what their official climo reporting stations are. Edit: Wait- you're under Wakefield, not Mount Holly, right? They have Salisbury there but idk if that's an official climo station: http://www.weather.gov/climate/index.php?wfo=akq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
