NorthArlington101 Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 That come out of a loose-leaf notebook? LolDidn’t have too much to work with at school... left my rulers at gone. Has about .2” at the bottom that doesn’t count as the ruler, which is the worst kind of ruler. Just under 5. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe my expectations are simply too high. This is how it is around here for the most part. I grew up in upstate NY and it took me a while to get used to the fact that even some of our “cold powder” events aren’t really that cold and there’s still slush on my driveway lol. It’s no big deal, we live in a marginal snow region on a rapidly warming planet. Just enjoy whatever we get!!! That’s what I’m doing and not sweating the details.

Same here. On the steps to our deck and in-between yards. They're always around, but apparently love the snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nw baltimore wx Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 We had a little burst when the snow started, but just light pixie dust now. I got up early to go to Giant but did some last minute grading first and by the time that I got there, it was pretty busy. Why in the heck is it so hard for people to follow the dang arrows?!? 25 minutes ago, MN Transplant said: Neighborhood fox out for a stroll in the snow I had to chase a fox out of the yard around 6:30AM this morning because he was too interested in the pile of kittens snuggled on our back porch. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it's all about the scenery - get the grass blades covered up completely and I'll Jebwalk and enjoy the snow. Unfortunately, the advent of the internet and widespread distribution of snow maps and weather models has really hurt the enjoyment of snow for weather weenies everywhere. We could be having another winter like last winter - so I try to look at the bright side. It's snowing and it's sticking (for the most part).

Negnao Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Now might be a good time for NWS to downgrade to a winter weather advisory. Save some face. Talking about dc metro. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t even know how to describe what it’s doing here now. Just kinda drizzling snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUsedToHateCold Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Under a deeper band right now. Fatties coming down. Eyeballing close to an inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notvirga! Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 It’ll be nice having snow falling all day with temps below freezing. Planning to take a walk in the snow this afternoon. Not much accumulation here but a heavy coating—maybe 3/10 of an inch. Hoping the NAMs are wrong and the globals are right for this area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmlwx Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Roads were partially covered here in the 8am hour. Looks like our side roads are now completely covered. Closing in on (or perhaps at) one inch at this point. A poster above has it right - kind of "drizzling" pixie dust right now. Already ran the shovel down the driveway. Very dusty snow - super easy to shovel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarlet Pimpernel Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Eyeballing maybe ~1.5" there about where I'm at (Chevy Chase, MD area). Light snow falling, clinging to everything right now with the calm wind. Very pretty! I will be going for a @Jebman Jebwalk soon, and get some photos!! By the way, nobody has mentioned much about the wind potential during this event, but looks like it could become pretty brisk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowDreamer Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 1.75" and lovely outside. Took the typical loop for this morning's jebwalk, but doggo decided it was too cold half way through and we had to return to shelter - Was unable to convince him that continuing would be just as fast. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness, this winter has been barely better than last winter so far. I know we've probably gotten about 4 inches of snow this year compared to whatever last year was, but both winters have been awful. The good news is this winter is only half over and the last couple of weeks of February might hold promise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
