North Balti Zen

@mappy I mean …is hunt valley for my move gonna be far enough to bail you all out (lol)?

Consistent across the screw zone - 2.3 for your area , I am at 2.5 and t.august over in Havre is at 2.7. modeling has been pretty great at sussing out the wall on these events in our area for a few years now… it is pretty to wake up to in any event. Happy Wednesday to you!

Extreme Office Space voice - “yes, Bob Ryan can indeed ‘suck it’”

Inside joke among longtimers - every so often a winter weather poster wanders into the site and only posts extreme IMBY questions and obs - the memorable ones to my aging memory in the last decade are the Short Pump person, Carbondale (who wasn’t even from our posting forum) , the “NE MD pummeled” poster (who is still around but karma has been making those obs irrelevant for six years now), and Ji.* *I kid ** ** sorta

That’s true (but last sentence varies wildly by location lol)

That’s a wonderful snow event - happy for your area, enjoy.

That’s excellent - and I really think you get there by mid-week next week.

Cleanup of heavy snow definitely less ideal, that is true. Got 2.5” and just cleared the driveway in about 10 minutes so score one for always being fringed lol…

11/22/24 - T 12/5/24 - T 12/6/24 - T 12/20/24 - .5” 12/24/24 - .1" 1/3/25 - T 1/6/25 - 3” (the opposite of the magical event for the beltways here in Monkton - ten hours of snow to get three whole inches. Whee.) 1/11/25 2"(snow on snow)(snow started just after midnight and ended up almost as much as Monday's disappointment - this one was way more fun to wake up to) 1/16/25 - T 1/19/25 - 2" (another winter storm warning bust - couldn't hold good banding or snow growth other than for about one hour) (still running on six years since a verified warning event for areas I have lived (north baltimore city and then monkton starting in 2022) 2/11/25 - 2.5” Season total - 10.1”

Whoa - that’s excellent - glad for you - must be gorgeous

I’m dog sitting tonight - so…two inches it is for my locale.

2 inches at my home in Monkton.

It’s terrible on the roads even where it isn’t pouring snow.

Treachrous as hell leaving Roland park area at 6:30. Roads were hella icy. Three separate wrecks I passed on 83 from northern parkway to the beltway. took an hour to get to monkton. 1” on the ground here so far when got to my home.

I’m not even in area that will see much snow so not a note about my frustration with the model and all but… …can we all just agree not to ever ever ever use the hrrrrr during an unfolding winter event? Like, ever?

Flurries downtown baltimore looking out my window 20 floors up. No idea what it is like in Monkton.

March 2001? Boxing day 2010?

My money is on miss East this time.

North of us? yes, that’s true.

We won’t up here but enjoy this again - nice that you got good early help on the temps , should be a really good winter event.

It has been super consistent for that group, yes. File it under “I definitely want to be in the bullseye on every run every time”…

Yes, cold very dry air is not a problem in northern Maryland.

Reading. What more is there to say? Congrats to the usual winners in the forum for getting to fully enjoy what we all love for the sixth year in a row while we get hosed.

Also, this discussion is why I laugh over the “you don’t want to be in the bullseye ___ days out posts” - my experience is that the general area that starts to get bullseyes repeatedly early enough in a threat cycle has the best chance at legit warning level SN+ for a time verifying at some point. bullseye my area on every run for every threat, please and thank you. Not been like that either for years and years up this way. For all the shit that certain cranks on this board give to models in the long range, as someone who reads in those threads way more than posts, the models are pretty fucking great at highlighting early on the areas most likely to be snowiest in a given period. And they’ve been pretty great at showing this area on the edge over and over again from range. This current storm threat they’ve been rock solid at that for at least a week.

I probably have nickel dimed to more than Fairfax a few times in the last seven years, but, for me, that is a full I don’t care. 17 one inch snows sucks compared to two 8 inch snows (for me anyway, others see that differently). i just want a legit snowstorm where my obs is ZOMGITSPOURINGSNOW - been a minute. my obs for years have been (squints) - “I think something is falling the grill is starting to turn white”.
