I might have to come visit yours and @WesternFringe area at some point. You guys have quite the microclimate down there with the elevation factors. Probably incredibly pretty too in all the seasons. 

You are always welcome down here!  Love to meet for a beer!

My goal is to keep snowpack to MLK weekend.  Then maybe we can get some more and keep it going.  Have about 5-6 inch depth.  We have a few days that will get above freezing before the next arctic blast.  Not sure if we can do it.

The ski areas are on a heater right now. Been a bit since conditions were this optimal. Canaan has reported accumulating snow every day so far this month and is now up to 44.4” on the month and a season total of 91.9”. With more upslope coming this week with the passing of the front, pretty good chance they hit 100” before next weekend.

Skied all day whitegrass on Thursday and it was really ideal.  Top of the mountain was probably 20-30 inches depth throughout the woods.  All they need up there is continued cold and some decent lake fetch every so often.

Been enjoying the cross country skiing.  We need at least a foot on the ground to ski outside of town on the mountain bike trails since its a bit boggy and rocky, so this has been great and appears to stick around for a while and even get better.  Pic is of adventure yesterday with my ferocious goldendoodle

Clouds are increasing here and it's 31. The snowpack here is thick and heavy. It will shrink down but should be fine until the cold returns.

With the current totals DCA got exactly the amount of snow it did last year.
 

However at this point last year it was still waiting for its first measurable snowfall.

Absolutely! Would love to meet both you and @wxdude64 for a relaxing weekend with some cold drinks. Will absolutely keep in touch with both of you guys so we can plan a meet up. Would also love a good spot for some grub, so feel free to pass on those recommendations

Upslope since about 8:30 this morning has been no joke. Another 3.4" and a storm total so far of 4.9" and it's still coming down. Cracked the 60" mark for the season.

Yep, been flurrying to snow showers here last hour or so, that usually means Canaan and Snowshoe are getting pounded.

DCA had done well during the wind cold and  but its inadequacies are back today running 3-5 higher than surrounds 

i watched Annapolis closely during all this. It was consistently 2-3 degrees lower than DCA.  Many excuse DCA  over the River. Annapolis has a 5X larger and 3-5X deeper Bay.  If anything Annapolis should be a degree or two milder.

Finally made it above freeze this week. 32.4 right now 

[WVclimo]

Briefly hit 32° here this afternoon, but still haven’t been above freezing since the afternoon of Friday the 3rd.

A few pics from a hike at Tuckahoe late Saturday afternoon. Temp was 31 with a stiff wind.

One of the best winter counties east of the Mississippi---Only driven through there once and it was in the winter many years ago - very pretty indeed.......

DCA is in the middle of an urban area that is many times larger than Annapolis.

Low of 21

Looks like today will be the first above freezing temp here in a week. 32 is the highest on my station since snow has been otg.
