Sheriff's Office said possible $110 fine and one point on your license for failure to clean your window.

3" in Lusby, steady moderate to heavy snowfall, minimal winds so far. It is the forecast for the winds that actually concern me, 40mph steady gusts to 60mph. That'll take a lot of trees down, causing widespread power outages. Anybody taking bets for power outages by midnight?

I predict 16" for Lexington Park area and power outages for sure. Tomorrow around 2-4 PM.

I turned off the water and hot water heater expecting the power to go out while I was gone. Neighbor next door is going to text me if the outage is lengthy.
I hope your chimney survives. Again.

Thanks. I think we're safe. That beautiful oak is gone. My hubster has knee issues so getting rid of the stump is slow.

Well..... just came in from a first run with the snowthrower. We were supposed to get 20-30" by the time this is over. Got maybe 10" last night, 5-8" more predicted but I doubt we will see that much. Winds have been rather mild too.
But the snow was perfect for throwing, not too dry, not too wet. Was able to toss it a good 70' downrange.

2 years ago my wife home a little electric Toro snow blower. One of her friends was moving to Florida and gave it to her. I laughed myself silly, telling her that little thing would never do anything but take up space in the shed. Did my 277' driveway last night with no problem, about 4-5". Just did another pass with I would guess is about 8-10". It struggled but once you got one pass thru, it did the job nicely with a half cut the rest of the way.
The forecasters are all talking about another burst of heavy snow, they are calling it "wrap around snow", I.e., snow from the backside of the counter clockwise rotation of the low that is near the mouth of the bay right now. Maybe another 4 to 6 inches, they say? Still it ought to all wrap up by 3am or so and the recovery process can begin. Roads are reported to be generally good for the main routes, however back roads and small streets -and driveways- are still covered with a foot or more of heavy snow. The precipitation in the early hours this morning was sleet or rain, which soaked the earlier, lighter, fluffy snow making it a bear to shovel.
Take it easy shoveling, it is hard work! Do a little, rest a little.....

We got the wrap around this afternoon. Got dumped on. I cleared about 10" this morning, looks like another 12" or so, and still not done. At least the winds held off.
