North Balti Zen

Three inches since 8:21 - another hour of this and we get into the 4-6 range - lwx and cwg did well on this up my way. Very nice event.

Definitely best event and best rates for this part of Balt city since January 2016.

Remington ! You and I are about three miles apart. Love R House by the way.

Two inches and...holy hell it just went to legitimate ripping. If we can hold this we get to the 4-6 lwx called for .

We are off the ledge. Close call, that was about to be a Jim Jones situation up here...

Agreed.

I just heard from my accountant overnight with the tax damage for this filing season and...it kinda already is worse. Not helping my mood...

Good - here too - looks like you and I finally got rid of dry air about same time.

For those of us who have not or had not seen a flake, it is legit frustrating. finally first flakes here at 8:21 am. Now will have to race to hope we accumulate well before sleetfest. It’s a late start for us up this way though in a race against time setup.

Nothing in north Balt either.

Not as snarky now, huh?

That is good to hear.

You have double what I do this year- so **** off.

Hence the frustration up my way that we are not underway yet.

Right on cue losetoa6 with a snow obs before we get going here in the city.

You’re a peach. Thanks for that. I’ve been on this board long enough to know that PhineasC, psu, and mappy will likely report snow falling well north of me while it also falling south and west of me while I wait.

One thing I know - no matter the storm - Balt city will be the last in the area to fill in and get going.

I recall reading it when it was posted here, and there were like - two times on record - where that happened. Extremely rare.

I am super happy for you that you finally got to experience a legit snowstorm. There's nothing like it, in my view.

Thanks don. That captures the forum split on this storm perfectly. Frustrating for those of us in here in the blue. Although I think that frustration was generally handled well. Probably the biggest forum splitter in terms of totals over such a short distance in our forum where a majority of forum cashed and a small area didn’t since I think the second Feb 2010 blizzard left @mattie g area behind in terms of totals. Maybe @C.A.P.E.‘s area in Jan. 2016 in the dry slot too. fun storm to track though and at least no one got shut out.

To put the gentle frustration of the Baltimore city and north crew in perspective. It is 11 miles from my house to Ellicott City. 5.2 inches for my house, a little over double 11 miles away.

It just didn’t work out for us this time. Hopefully next time we do better. I ended up 5.2. Frustrating given how close we were to much more, but also, could have been much worse in terms of far less snow.

I guess? Not really for me in Balt city. Two sloppy inches that melted hella fast. I sure don’t count that as a jack. For Chill land to be at 11.4 and my part of Balt city at 5.2 is a crazy difference over a short span of land.

Glad for you all but this has been kinda a bitter end to things for those of us north. Maybe we can catch a break on the next one.
