IUsedToHateCold Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 It’s interesting how these crazy cold shots come down so far south in the middle of the country. I would think that the Gulf of Mexico would help moderate temps in places like Houston, but apparently not or not always? I read recently that in 1895 there was snow as far south as Tampico, MX. Seems like the Atlantic (or maybe our longitude) is our worst enemy here in the mid Atlantic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one will believe this but I was down in my old PG county stomping grounds on Friday walking the old neighborhood, and when I went to check out the old duck pond, peepers were chirping from the heavy cover. It was cold but they didn’t seem to mind at all. Spring will be here before we know it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The D is terrible and they can’t win a face off. @Deer Whisperer @nj2va @nw baltimore wx Orlov needs to be traded, but the D in general is way too soft. I do like Samsonov. Praying he gets the nod Tuesday. Agree they couldn’t win a face off, but when you play lazy and with no energy or passion (even our stars), you won’t win anything. And don’t get me started on Kuzy. He might as well be named Semin. Maybe package him and Orlov? I dunno. I’m just frustrated with this team right now. I’ll just hope we can have a better showing tomorrow.

cigrgd Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Mike Seidel was on I-20 in Monroe, LA and compared it to the NY State Thruway in the lake effect belt. 100 yard visibility in heavy snow. I’ve never seen anything like that in my life. This storm is amazing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KAOS Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Who would have thought that Jeb would move to TEXAS and get more snow than here in the mid-atlantic. The world has gone mad. Congratz Jeb! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KamuSnow Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 6 hours ago, Jebman said: Snow is slowing down a little now, 9 degrees, winds are all over the place, measuring snow is going to be a challenge. Might have to take about 100 readings then average them lol. Looks like about 6 inches easy, may be 7. Will look over the trained spotter reports later, refine and tweak my findings. Snow still coming down, not quite as crazy hard. Got a BIG 8 inch drift on the deck. Might have to get a Deck Pic or two later. Congrats! Do you have a snow shovel down there? Make a big pile!

I went out there and just breathed in a deep deep breath of 14-degree snow filled air! Wow all the myriads of flakes in the outside lights! I think we just might be getting 2 inch per hour rates. At least 2 inches out there right now and really coming down, just blowing and blowing past the big light out in the field! That's awesome. I can't remember the last time I experienced thundersnow. Might have been the Feb 1983 "megapolitan" storm when I was at Rutgers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
