katabatic Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 I'm working on a system conversion tonight so it's an all nighter, but at least the rain flipped to snow about an hour ago. Deck has already caved and hope our warning level accumulation comes to fruition here in Garrett County. Currently 31.8 with gusts to 36 mph ushering in this absolutely fabulous stretch of deep winter coming up. Welcome 2025! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katabatic Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 29.1 with snizzle. I'd say about an inch so far. At least the ground is white again and my husband, who is a ski lift operator at Wisp, texted me and mentioned it's a bit of a party atmosphere on the slopes today. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WEATHER53 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 That was scary time for me last night at 6:30 with that nearly tornadic thunderstorm by the Bay Bridge . That sort of volatility shows a huge rearrangement of the atmosphere surrounding our area. Now a Friday event appears possible so this enhancement trend may continue and we have a two week period where it snows every time possible. 1987 was huge with that with a couple other less so thus it’s been a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxdude64 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Currently a degree colder (37.2/25.3) at 12:30 pm than at the 7 am CoCoRaHS report (38.2/29.5) with a NW wind at 11 gusting 24, feels like winter has returned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little difficult to see through the sun's glare at times. Not as sunny as when we were under a blizzard warning, but close. 28.2 with no accumulation since sunrise. Got a long way to go before we are even in the neighborhood of a Winter Storm Warning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adelphi_sky Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Here in McHenry, Md scoping out the Wisp Ski resort to see if I want to take the kids. Got here about an hour ago. Winter Storm Warning pinged on my GPS for the area. Got here before the heavy snow. Right now heavy snow and 28 degrees. Not bad for 2.5 hours from DC. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pazzo83 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 temps actually ticked up a couple degrees with a switch in wind more to the south (and lighter) before picking back up and turning back to the N/NW. With that, the temps have resumed falling. Seems like a dry front passed through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midatlanticweather Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Last night, I was about to put out the trash for the trucks today, and it was close to 11 p.m. in Purcellville. The weather winds were gusting like crazy for a bit. Later, I saw a Marine warning posted for the tidal Potomac. It was pretty wild, as I measured a 40mph gust, but my station misses gust maximums, and I am pretty sure we had some close to 50. Here was that wind surge looked like on my Weather Station. I waited until this morning to put out the trash . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
