I definitely think the wind is some of it. But you can see in the woods there isn’t that much there either. I didn’t see any drifts to indicate they got that much but it just blew around. But I’m sure the wind was part of it but it definitely struck me as a significant difference even factoring that in. There were a few storms last year where the valley literally right under me got significantly less. One in December where I got 3” and they barely had a slushy coating at the bottom. But this was even more drastic. And before last year I never noticed much difference between my house and the valley below. Not a drastic visible one anyways. But this is like the 5th time in 2 years there was a visible difference.

Most sheltered places around 7” if you subtract some for “grass”. But I can’t find a good paved surface to use. And I scalp my lawn for winter so it doesn’t add too much. One oddity…walked down my hill to my mailbox which is a 1/4 mile away and about 200 feet lower down the ridge. I’ve never seen as significant a difference. Can’t imagine 200 feet made that much difference. Maybe it was wind exposure. Dunno. But you can see for yourself. pics from around my property at the top of the ridge my driveway side/back yard Front 1/4 mile down the road at the bottom of the ridge

You’re being a little dramatic…shocking. But this is another event where the track of the wave is actually pretty good, the airmass seemed good enough, yet it’s underperforming outside elevated areas. Sound familiar???

~5” here. Really hard to measure. Snow board is useless because it ended up in a wind tunnel. Most measurements between 4-6” so going with 5.

Picking back up in intensity now.

It went out…came back for a couple mins then went out again and is still out.

Lost power

I woke up and saw lots of flakes. Then I got off the internet and looked out the window and it’s snowing too!

Whats happening in frostburg..cumberland lol Shadow effect from the Allegheny’s and stuck between the initial wave and the developing one further east. Just be thankful it’s not us this time!

You should have been in the zoom. Obviously this isn’t even close in terms of intensify but I talked about how this has some similarities in terms of the physical process happening and the type of progression. Again…not nearly to that level. But some similarities with the way these systems evolve.

If I get 11” I’ll sing the Canadien anthem to start my next zoom

It’s pretty much done at this point… hepderps wins the 0z

And I just got done with the 18z… not even over at this point.

The issue for the 95 corridor is simply a dryslot on the NAM.

The old zoom meeting link is no longer active. I don't have time to email everyone a new link. We had no problems all winter using the same link so I am just going to post it here. If we end up having issues...then I can always go back to using a secret link through emails. I will be in the zoom around 10pm. Steve Hoffman is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

Already down to 44 here.

I could open the zoom after I get the kids to bed. Like around 10.

Again we will see. The hrrr only goes to 18 hours. If the new system goes to 60 or 84 like the NAM…well people will be like…. by the time the storm gets here!

We will see. I predict it won’t be fun having to read through 3 pages of trolls causing freak outs after every hourly hiccup run. I hope I’m wrong. Maybe we’re ready. But I have my doubts.
