Snow in the tent hasn't started melting at all so I assume it's below freezing. Can I ask a very honest question, why are you subjecting yourself to this at Christmas when you have a beautiful house out in Deep Creek where it’s warm?

IUsedToHateCold Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Once temps drop into the mid 20s any wet roads will start to freeze. Still looking pretty wet out there at 30 degrees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrapinwx Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Tail of the line is really packing a punch in southern Anne Arundel. Switched to snow almost as soon as it moved in.

TowsonTownT Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Still just above freezing imby, looks like we'll mostly dry out before the freeze takes hold here. Just a few mood flakes over the past hour, still puts me on the board! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osfan24 Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 If I squint at my mulch, there is the smallest accumulation of snow. Man, the snow just came in an hour or so too early. Would have had a light dusting otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The inflatables are laughing at these gusts. The biggest news IS the cold. Especially to those unprepared that lose power. The news sure does like to sensationalize these events.

Maybe it's because you are east of me, but I put my inflatables down and they are still blowing all around in the wind. We've got limbs flying off of trees and our wreath just about flew off our door before I took it down and brought it inside. I'm not saying it's a hurricane outside but it's gotten pretty windy here.

We've got limbs flying off of trees and our wreath just about flew off our door before I took it down and brought it inside. I'm not saying it's a hurricane outside but it's gotten pretty windy here. We have lots of trees which keep the winds near the ground quite a bit lower. Years ago this place was like being on a mountaintop. Spring thunderstorms with 30-40 mph gusts would roar through, all the doors in the house would slam and it sounded like firecrackers going off. Didn't even need thunder and the dogs were running for cover. Now we just hear roaring and if it gets bad (>50) cracking. Because the blue spruces are getting kind of tall, especially the 100 footers. Deck is littered with needles that are sharp as a tack and now sticking like the planks have wet paint on them. Wind is one of my favorite things but with the cold that's coming, not so much! I do have proper PPE but it's like that scene out of A Christmas Story with Ralph's brother except I can, in fact, put my arms down. But keeping a 10mm socket in my hand is damn near impossible! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodhi Cove Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Bayside started with ice pellets hitting the windows followed by 40 mph wind gusts and flurries mixing in.

I'm just looking at obs and reports and I'm far from impressed. Just being honest. Avocados underperformedCouldn’t disagree more considering it’s an airmass that’s coming in before Christmas. Not in late January. It’s unimpressive in terms of the airmass sticking around, but the temp drop and winds are legit. DCA could set a Christmas low record. That’s noteworthy in its own right. The fact that it’s 22 here and 45 where my parents live in the lower Hudson valley in NY is pretty rad. . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
high risk Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 The models have done a lot of aspects of this frontal passage well, but one struggle has been how quickly the temps drop behind the front, and that had huge implications for potential for the flash freeze. Even all of the 12Z models today show me in the low 20s by 11AM, but it's still 28 here. If you look at HRRR trends, it took a long time to catch on to the idea that the big drop would be delayed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I don't have a house (yet) in DCL? We bought 180ac on meadow mtn but it's all forested with no utilities or anything. Saving cash to build the cabin which if the market doesn't go to shit we should start this time next year. So for now we try to go camping here once a month to get our fix. I'll take -6F with -29F WC (according to WeatherBug right now) over 90F and humid for camping any day of the week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
