I am expecting 20 inches

 

[vraiblonde]

Not more than 1" accumulated.

 

[jp2854]

i hope vrai is right with the 1". But the weather channel says 10 to 20". I just hope we don't lose power where i live or its going to be umm interesting as we are on well here and if the power goes our water goes and so does the heat. Thankgod for a 90lb heating pad (the dog) or i might freeze to death if the power takes a hike.

That snow storm and was UNBELIEVEABLE! I remember our neighbors beagle having to travel in snow tunnels because her short little legs wouldn't let her travel the drifts!

Worst snow storms I recall (living in PG County) were: 1966 (I was 11) and then both times I was 8 months pregnant...February 1978 and February 1983. For the record, I am NOT pregnant.

I think we just might get smacked with this one.

I'm paying attention to Doug Hill because he lives in Calvert.

 

[wmburdette]

...and let's not forget Veterans Day, 1987. One of the earliest heavy snowfalls.

 

[SoMDGirl42]

I'm paying attention to Doug Hill because he lives in Calvert.

Did he move? He used to live in STM down the road from my friend.

The 1978 storm in DC?

Let me go check some books.....

I remember 1979..storm came outta nowhere....

The 1979 Presidents One storm.. it hit during the 3 day weekend!

Offically it was 17.9 inches at National...
Snow drifts were 3-5' in some places...a very dry snow.

We sledded down main street in Annapolis!
