Should probably tag @Eskimo Joe so that he can see that too... pretty awesome 

Nice

This is.. absurd. The reach of this cold is kind of insane, until it stops just at our doorstep. Paraphrasing from what a great comedian once said, it's a big club, and we ain't in it

The Phineas guy from the north is having his best winter since 2009-10.

He moved to one of the primo snow spots in New England. His worst winters up there will always beat what he got down here.

BWI is on the verge of doing something it's never done in our history of keeping records. They have not recorded a total of at least 8 inches of snow in a single month in four consecutive winters. If they don't do it before Spring comes this year, it will be 5 consecutive, which has NEVER been done. So that's... something. 

Psssst- that kind of post should be preserved in the futility thread.

Can confirm it's icy out there. Fell straight down on my tailbone. Ow.

Yeah, ow, I’ll bet. That’ll be with you for a few days.

Sheet of ice here too. I put a saw horse in front of our front steps to keep anyone from even attempting it.

Starting my project I showed last week. One of my favorite things hand cutting out a registry. 16 to do. 

[WinterWxLuvr]

There are some great LOL posts in the long range thread in the past 24.

Food pics pop up in here from time to time. I hear crow is a wonderful meal.

Mount Storm WV. At the lake. About 10 air miles due south of Garrett Co

Bayard coop reported a snow depth of 17” this morning so your guess was pretty close.  I have a lot of relatives in the Mount Storm - Elk Garden area.  Driving to my grandmas house as a child, I can remember the vast difference in weather leaving Keyser.  It’s one of the things that got me into loving the weather to begin with.  Corridor H has really changed the area.

Missed what you said you were working on. What is it?

I was legit thinking of posting something just like this. Nice.

24 degrees with frz dz and a few snow grains. Everything is iced and frozen over with an eighth of an inch of ice. I am sliding on the road and on the grasses and dirt! Every surface is ice! Wind chill is about 5 with northeastern gusts to 27 mph. Feels a lot like Dale City in January.

I will keep you all updated.

I remember reading in past years of your Jebwalk reports in Dale City, often at night, on the rare occasion(s) that we'd get similar icy conditions in these parts. Glad you're getting to enjoy some of that down in TX.

I just might have to order a military transport to bring all the Mid Atlantic contingent down here lol. This weather happening here in South Central Texas is beyond surreal.

[Jebman]

Mid Atlantic will get heavy snow soon. This enormous polar dome isn't going anywhere for a long while.

I am taking a table I got for $40 for a games table. I am working on painting it with milk paint and do a Steampunk theme. Hope to have it done the end of this week. 

[Jebman]

23 degrees freezing drizzle and very fine snow flurries. Very chilly wind chills around 8 degrees.

[midatlanticweather]

Amazing 

[Scarlet Pimpernel]

So...anyone else getting concerned about PSU's snow pack?? 

(All in jest, PSU!!)

[Rvarookie]

My neighborhood looked so rough this AM. Can’t imagine how it would have been if the ice happened overnight. My electricity and heat were extra appreciated today

[Bob Chill]

I'm still laughing at tracker's burger post. I've gone back to it like 5 times today just to chuckle. Most well crafted humor post of all of my 15+ years here. God knows I've seen a lot of funny things over that time too. 

[IUsedToHateCold]

That cold shot is insane. It's 14 degrees with light snow in Memphis TN right now. My yard hasn't been that low this year, and I'm pretty sure hasn't been that low in at least a few years.

Indeed that is beyond extreme.  Have relatives down in Corpus Christi and Beeville.  They are not prepared for that kind of stuff.  Could be a cataclysmic event for much of the southern half of the state.  

[Jebman]

20 degrees with all sleet, very fine stuff that the wind is blowing all over the place. Its gonna be tough to measure. Winds are north to 30 mph. Wind chill is about 5 above zero. So surreal down here in the Deep South.

@Thanatos_I_Am -- go back a number of pages in banter to earlier this week, @Mrs.J posted some in-progress pics of her project. It's an awesome repurposing and refinishing of a game table...and as I mentioned earlier, the drawer pulls on it are particularly cool from a thematic standpoint.

Here is the registry all placed and ready to paint tomorrow. I may even have it all finished by tomorrow. Minus the gear pulls on the side.

I'd be irritated reading this post from anyone other than you, Jeb. I have been to Austin TX in July and I was cooked to my core in minutes in the midday sun there. And now you all get wintry precip at a colder temp than I've gotten any this whole season. Awesome, but damn it.

You may not realize this just yet, but winter is gonna get awesome there this season. This arctic airmass is just getting started. The Greenland Block ain't going nowhere. Not for weeks and weeks.
