Really coming down with larger flakes now in the band over my head right now (Colesville, MD). Probably will help accelerate accumulation at least for a bit.
Another inch since 5:30am measurement it seems. So total here around 4.5" perhaps 4.75" as of 7:05am.
Also temp/dew is currently 24.4/23.7 on my PWS. Nice cold snow.
A while ago - somebody shared a good color table for snow events for GR. It might have been @Eskimo Joe but my memory isn't what it used to be. It was "tuned" for overall lighter returns I feel like. Would love to get that again as I lost it after upgrading computers and to GR2AE v3
Looks like about 3.5" so far in Colesville, MD. Wish I had ventured out earlier but I dozed off. Might have been more like 3.75" prior to some compaction.
Yeah the NS is pretty clearly different on the more favorable runs versus the bad runs. Not sweating it at all while we have glorious snow falling outside. We'll make sense of next weekend as we bask in our snow out the window tomorrow/Wed and beyond.
Street still hasn't caved here yet. But part of that is because during/after the snow squalls the other day, the DUMPED a load of salt near the bottom of the dead-end. Probably is sticking further up the street where less salt was applied.
In fact - that northern stream stuff that may make or break this are onshore around 60 hours out. Won't take long until we have an idea of the goal posts...
Will be interesting to see how this plays out. As others have said - it's not like it's a day 10 threat or anything. The players that make differences for this are "on the field" and in range inside of 72 hours.
Checking with the infrared thermometer on the grass and walkway shows surface/ground temps in the mid to upper 20s IMBY. Should have instant stickage. Didn't venture down to the street though. Lots of salt on it from the other day.
You know me....always trying to be that "friendly" nudge to the influx of posters each year. I can't help it
Good thing you guys never made me a mod or I'd probably go scorched Earth at times, though
