The Chemisty is perfect for Snow in Maryland.

HighlandReefer · 12/05/2009, 10:31 AM

We are getting pounded here. It is beautiful though.

Our first snow for the season.

CRASHJT · 12/05/2009, 10:56 AM

LOL beats these crappy misty rainy days in FL although it is only like 60 degress was 80 last week...... PICS????

Randy Holmes-Farley · 12/05/2009, 11:09 AM

We're downstream of you, but close to the coast here we're going to get mostly rain and drizzle. I wish it were snow.

HighlandReefer · 12/05/2009, 11:18 AM

We are suppose to get around 4".

Usually New England gets pounded 1st.

I miss snow. Never got too much in central Ohio but it doesn't even feel like Christmas season down here. Decorated my palm tree, now that's a modified Charlie Brown Christmas!

If you get too much Cliff, you can always FedEx some this way...

Raining here in NJ, by the shore.

Boomer · 12/05/2009, 01:21 PM

Cliff

It should be up to a foot by now but there is not even what I would call a dusting on the ground. I can go out side and fart in the cold air and get more snow to the ground

We have had to cancel 3 yearly major events here due to no snow

redfishsc · 12/05/2009, 06:19 PM

You guys should watch the weather forecast for the upstate South Carolina, where I am from (I normally don't confess that but I trust you guys... .kinda). You gotta come down and watch all the fun.

When they get snow there, the snow is normal, average snow. The real fun is the citizens. You'd think nuclear winter was setting in and everyone in the county had drank 3 gallons of Red Bull and chased it with meth. People go psycho and empty the grocery stores.

I'm in North Carolina now (Wake Forest) where the snow is somewhat more common and folks are a bit more used to it. They tend to stay more civil around here.

I can only imagine what Houston folks were doing this weekend with all the snow.

Yogre · 12/05/2009, 06:48 PM

We're in for a serious hammering this coming week. Like Boomer said, not much beyond a dusting right now, but.... 2-4 inches Sunday night, then 2-8 inches depending on storm track Tuesday into Wednesday.

And I have to fly in and out of O'Hare for the whole thing. I can hardly wait.

possys · 12/05/2009, 07:50 PM

first snow in Phil this year.

Rybren · 12/05/2009, 08:24 PM

We're still waiting for snow up here in Ottawa. Although, to tell the truth, I won't complain if it never comes. I'm getting too old to shovel 4-6 feet of snow every winter.

Randy Holmes-Farley · 12/06/2009, 09:19 AM

Well, we did get a few inches. Nice to get into the holiday mood.

HighlandReefer · 12/06/2009, 10:58 AM

Rybren · 12/06/2009, 09:03 PM

I knew that I should have kept my mouth shut. I just looked outside and everything is white. Bah, humbug!

This is VERY true. I moved to coastal NC from Kodiak alaska where feet of snow in a few days is common. I was in line at walmart friday night behind people with multiple carts of "supplies" ready to go because there was a "chance" of snow... I laughed sooo hard at these people..

NCNBilly · 12/07/2009, 07:44 AM

Snowed pretty good here - unfortunately I was driving to Pittsburgh with my band. Lots of slipping and sliding on the secondary roads and black ice in the hotel parking lot.

Emoney · 12/07/2009, 09:24 AM

Like the snow! Funny MD weather..one day 60 next day snowing!

HighlandReefer · 12/19/2009, 11:31 AM

Well we're about 1/2 way with this 2nd storm. I'd say we have about 1 foot so far. I can't see the stone wall in the above picture.

Randy Holmes-Farley · 12/19/2009, 01:05 PM

We will get hit tonight, maybe 6-12 inches. Not as much as you, but enough for a nice white Christmas.

Who needs snow when you have palm trees! I'm in Maryland, but I love the heat, humidity, and the beach. Used to visit family in Florida every Christmas.

All the best to the reefers in Ft Lauderdale...
