North Balti Zen

All obs this year for me are from Fallston, MD - 11/30 - T 12/2 - A little frz rain to start - trees and car glazed - but 35 and rain for most of event 12/5 - T (dusting from a few hours of flurries as dry cold death air ate any chance of anything else north of BWI 12/14 - 4” 1/2 - .2" (frontal passage snow squall dealie 1/17 - .7" 1/18 - .5" 1/25 - 10" (six inches of snow pre-flip around 10 am and four inches of sleet on top - precipitation from 2 am until about 8 pm) Running season total - 15.4”

Good call - a few minutes after reading this some very light snow is falling.

Gonna go with 9.5” fof my part of Fallston. Six of that snow reminder that unreal sleet part of the storm.

YUP

I cleared once - two since I cleared after about an inch. I may be undershooting it but it is roughly accurate - as accurate as I can be in these conditions lol…

The snow is helping change that

That helps. I think I am 3 inches of sleet - and I had it for six inches of snow pre-flip so 9” for my part of Fallston which lines up well with your obs and Kay’s.

Wow

Thanks!!! We are genuinely relieved/ecstatic I think.

Harford County schools closed Monday and Tuesday.

Lighter sleet at the moment - shoveled the walkway to the cars and shoveled those out and put some bird seed out for any birds out and about. It is unreal cold. combined snow/sleet ob in Fallston - 7.5”. Roughly 1.5 of that is since the changeover around 10 am.

This is one for the memory books - this kind of sleet falling in these temps on half a foot of snow. What a stunning storm. So damn glad not dancing with the dry slot.

Yup! just such a great way to break the snow lid. Hoping winter storms remember where we are now…

Chili! It’s slow cooking now - gonna do some corn muffins with it when ready later. pancakes for breakfast. It’s such a good Sunday.

Snow sleet mix in Fallston now. Gonna grab this measurement as we transition to sleet part of the festivities - 6” i, for one, welcome the sleet overlords to this part of the storm. Sleet and 14 degrees is a first for me in terms of weather experience.

Re: 10-year drought folks - speaking for Baltimore area north drought crew - we have for the most part!

It’s ripping here at the moment- really want to maximize this last push before the flip. Would love to get to 7 inches. One more to go.

What a great storm to start the pattern- we usually have to let a few of these miss before we get hit in favorable windows…

The sledding has to be epic. Just ideal conditions. same for people that have their cross country skis.

Gonna need you to make a stand - five miles to your north give or take - hold the line

HOLD HOLD!!!!! six inches at 9:15 am measurement here at the farm in Fallston. Still ripping snow. Give me another hour…

Fair. I just think it was WAY too aggressive in pushing the sleet line way north early and cutting down on snow totals pre-flip. I am at six inches in Fallston and it is still pouring snow.

Hoping we pour sleet when it does flip - let’s make this an epic event.

All snow in Fallston still but flake had definitely increased in last few minutes. Battle likely about to begin here.

I didn’t doubt it on thermals but it was fucking out to lunch on qpf and that’s kinda important too.. GFS gonna be way more accurate up my way in fallston in terms of totals.
