Morning MD

 

Good morning MD and safe travels to you, @SHADOWDRIFTER19

 

Well thanks to Carroll Co schools, I got to leave work and start the weekend a bit early… on a Friday, I’ll take it!!

 

You're probably going to have a long weekend, could be 3"-5" of snow Monday.

 

Im reading 3-5” Sunday evening, and then another 3-5” Monday morning… fingers crossed anyway!!

 

Maybe enjoying driving around a little more

-side note, I can’t remember torquing or tightening down the transfer case or front diff all the way, so I know what I’m doing soon…

 

Actually, just let the dog out and it’s starting to snow now!

 

I did torque all the plugs! Better safe than sorry though.

 

Thank ya Ed, at the hotel safe

 

Hope you don’t have to drive through the next storm back

 

How's it looking currently? Originally was coming back early Monday morning, may pull trigger on Sunday evening

 

I’ll have to check on the timing again

12:13PM 1/3/25 - Here’s what you have all been waiting for. Our first call on Mondays snow storm.

First off, this will be a high impact event regardless of just how much we get. Roads will be snow covered and very dangerous to travel on. We expect widespread closures not just on Monday, but potentially into Tuesday as well.

Precipitation type is still a little uncertain south of I-70. North of I-70, we should stay all snow. Between I-70 and Route 50, it should be mainly snow, but a mix is likely at times. South of Route 50, a mix is likely and some freezing rain is possible as well.

The exact track of the storm is also still a little uncertain which is to be expected 3 days out. A track further north would lead to more snow in northern MD, while a track further south would lead to more snow in central MD. Either way, significant snow is likely in our area.

As far as timing goes, snow should start from SW-NE betwee midnight and 3am for our SW zones (DC metro), and after 3am for our NE zones (Baltimore metro). Snow will continue all day Monday before tapering off Monday evening. We expect a winter storm watch to be issued for the entire area later today.

In total, we expect a widespread 3-6” for areas along and south of a line from Sterling to Laurel to Annapolis, as well as north of a line from Gettysburg to Shrewsbury. In between, across much of central and northern MD, 4-8” is expected. This may be a bit conservative, and an increase is possible. If there were to be any changes to this forecast, it would likely be the placement of the 4-8+” zone. It could shift either north or south.

Sunday departure it is

 

I’d still say to check, though you’re probably more likely to get snow out that way. Harford county is in a weird bubble that’s tough to predict.

 

It seems like there are tons of different opinions on what we’re getting Monday. Some people saying a foot, some saying 4-6”.

I say if we’re gonna do it we might as well do it big and go for a foot

 

Right?? Id like to see a bunch, but only because I can work from home. Hope those that have to drive are safe.
