    Sleeting here at 39 degrees.

    A persistent light rain is keeping temperatures down here. Currently 36°. Forecast high for this afternoon is 43.

    Has 1000-500 mb thicknesses sub 534 here at 18Z with rain falling.

    Another one moves in a day later, lol.

    1.36” of rain overnight. Wettest 24-hour total here since July 8.

    My current location was 30”+ in ‘96. It was still a great storm where I was, given all the drifting. But from DCA northeast through central PG County and east toward the Bay there was a stripe of sub 20” totals. I drove to northern NJ the Thursday after the storm and was amazed at the snow depths, especially from the Susquehanna River north.

    Yep. I was at about 300’ asl inside the Beltway a mile or so from the University of Maryland. It sleeted much of Sunday afternoon and evening in my yard before it flipped back to wind-whipped snow late at night.

    I was living in College Park at the time and that band set up N/S over central MD and just kept cranking for hours. Picked up about 6” from it, which made up for some “disappointment” that the weekend event had only amounted to 19” with all the sleet that mixed in.

    OK, cool. Guess I should read more carefully when I am supposed to be working, lol.

    Holy smoke ! Did the city really get screwed that badly last winter ? I see BWI reported 18.3". I had 37" here which might be the biggest discrepancy I can recall between here and Baltimore, if your total was really that low.

    Haven't had a very bad snowfall season here in a while. Hoping this year isn't the start of one of those streaks of 3-4 meager seasons in a row, like we get in the mid-Atlantic periodically. Don't like seeing a Nina showing up in the long-range progs for next winter. Last 10 winters before this one in my yard: 09-10: 82.9" 10-11: 20.3" 11-12: 8.4" 12-13: 23.4" 13-14: 52.4" 14-15: 36.7" 15-16: 40.8" 16-17: 13.3” 17-18: 22.7" 18-19: 37.0"

    For monthly data, this is a great page: https://sercc.com/home Select ‘Historical Climate Summaries- New Version’, then find a Station from the drop down list and have fun. ‘Monthly snowfall listings’ has the totals and there’s a tremendous database of other records. If you want daily data, Utah St has a good, searchable site. They email the spreadsheets with the parameters you designate, but they are usually very fast https://climate.usu.edu/mapGUI/mapGUI.php

    You know it's a marginal setup when Weatherbell's Kuchera has my yard at 6"+, Pivotal Weather's Kuchera says less than 5" and Tropical Tidbits' 10-1 says I see 1/2" with the rain-snow line cutting my property in half at H84.

    12Z Euro says I need to get in touch with family in Frostburg and remind them its been a while since we visited.

    Light fzra. 30.3 and very slowly rising. Good glaze on everything.
  18. WVclimo
    Moderate freezing rain at 29. Raised surfaces are accreting well. Ground and even pavement seeing some slick spots forming.
  19. WVclimo
    Finally snowing here. Sleet line looks to be surging up from the southern part of Berkeley county on CC radar though.
  20. WVclimo
    Not much reaching the ground yet. What is making it are rimed snow grains.
  21. WVclimo
    Got shafted here. A few scattered flurries when the band passed through and that’s it.
  22. WVclimo
    LWX has gone up to 1-3" for Washington County on the point and click forecast. Think your latitude and elevation might mean you do a little better than me on this one. Feeling pretty fortunate to be looking at a second snowfall in what has been a +10 January.
  23. WVclimo
    Here is the past 8 runs of the 12k NAM. Timing differences skew the position somewhat but the same general idea of that slender front-running band has been consistent:
  24. WVclimo
    And yet it’s been consistently shown across all guidance for a couple of days. I am like you in thinking it looks odd, and am hoping it develops. But if it does show up in the morning exactly as progged, you would have to say it’s a testament to the skill we see in NWP, wouldn’t you ?

    Heavy snow from I-81 west
