White Death 2010: It Continues
Saturday, 4:30 PM
The snow has stopped. Temperature is 27.5F. Low tonight forecast to be 12F.
Saturday, Noon
The snow continues. I shoveled snow for two hours. With the help of several wonderful neighbors I was able to clear a path big enough for one car to get out. That is if Howard County plowed the street, which isn't supposed to happen till Monday. (According to the Howard County website.) There is about two feet of snow outside but the wind is such that getting an accurate measurement is problematic. Temperature is 25.6F. Barometric pressure is 29.27 inches and rising.
Saturday, 7:45 AM
The NWS changed the winter storm warning that was in effect into a blizzard warning until 10 PM. A blizzard doesn't necessarily have a lot of snow. It's the snow coupled with the wind that is the issue. Visibility is greatly diminished. Folks are already out shoveling. Temperature is down to 26.6F. Barometric pressure is 29.25 inches and falling.

People, we have a boat load of snow. It's a huge amount of snow for anywhere, let alone Maryland. The NWS says that Columbia already has 24 inches, Elkridge 30.3 inches. The driveways in the neighborhood shoveled last night just to get ahead are now completely filled in. The winds are fierce. While I have yet to measure it, there appears to be more than 2 feet out on the Woodstock weather deck. The temperature is 26.7F.
