WVclimo Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 5.5” snow depth is frozen so hard I had trouble getting a metal ruler through to the bottom of it to measure. At least three layers of ice in the pack from snow on snow on snow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George BM Posted February 20, 2021 Author Share Posted February 20, 2021 38 minutes ago, CAPE said: The source for me is almost completely on the back side of my property, and is maybe an acre of area at its most expansive, so as long as I do the work in early Spring, I can pretty much mitigate an awful summer of skeeters. It usually dries up by early summer. Last year I did get the late summer tiger bastards, but that was a function of the incredible above normal wet period we had east of I-95. I wish I'd saved the image someone posted late last year. The difference in how far above average areas east of I-95 and how far below average areas west of I-95 were wrt rainfall was very stark. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been finding ticks on the barn cats all winter. Mud season returns next week ! 1 hour ago, baldereagle said: Truly, it has been mud season non-stop here on the Eastern Shore since this past June... We board my daughters pony at my friends farm in VA. Mud has been horrible this year. Dry lot when you walk in better be sure your muck boots fit well or you might loose them. And shedding started last week and expect that to pick up in the next few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Beautiful day. Cold, bright, blue skies, and some actual wind. Wintry look and feel. Refreshing after so many cloudy, gray, foggy days with almost no air movement. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paxpatriot Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Just woke up to a whiteout on the M/D. Very unexpected surprise. Super fluffy and laying at 23F. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ole Bucket Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Aside from the days when it has snowed.. this is the best morning of the winter. Sleet is a glacier (though patchy), the ground is rock-solid frozen, everything is iced over and it’s sunny. 30F but also fairly windy. A quite fine day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Pixee Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Bottomed out last night at 25 degrees. Was 26 an hour ago, now a creep up to 30. Giant plates of ice on street where runoff has frozen. Anyone cruising through here at speed is an idiot. Light/Dark cloudy skies, moody looking. Shoveled driveway to clear space last night to take trash bins out. Cleared off cars. And of course there was black ice at the bottom of the driveway. Trash got picked up, but I'm waiting for the street glaciers to thaw before retrieving the bins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that the snow this year has been quickly attacked by the dreaded sun angle.. it’s been nice to sleet hold up. I’ve come around on that sleet bomb. It was ugly when it came down but now it’s done well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone ever been attacked by one of those huge skeeters with a body around an inch long and equipped with a massive dagger? It sounds like a hornet when it homes in on one’s intoxicating bloodscent......visual heat sensors their guide.... Both kinds land, strike with lightning speed and escape before you can swear. This wet and pretty mild winter promises plenty of insects. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVclimo Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Third sub-freezing high in the past 4 days here of 31. In the past 14 days, it’s been above 40 one day for about 5 hours. Snow is frozen solid. Very little melting in full sun all day today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notvirga! Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 I know it’s cold, high of 28 or so here, but full late feb sun and basically zero melting. Had it been two inches of snow and not sleet it would be mostly gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vastateofmind Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Got to a high of 34 mid afternoon, down to 31 now. The wind was surprisingly strong most of the day, and while it's backed off some, still gusty. But the sun made a reappearance today, so there's that.

Kay Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 It's not a great night to take a walk, but it IS a great night to stand outside and take deep, refreshing breaths, listen to the spooky sound of ice rattling in trees, and watch stars twinkle. 26 and a bracing breeze 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T. August Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Went sledding with my siblings this evening lol. My sister is 20, I’m 23, and my brother is turning 31 and night sledding is still fun as hell. This inch of sleet has produced some of the best conditions for it. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
