Just FYI, the 1.0” “Dept. of highways” measurement at Prince Frederick that’s in LWX’s PNS reports is not accurate. I submitted 0.2” (same location) but it wasn’t posted for some reason. I have no idea how State Highway measured that; we didn’t have any snowcover before this either, so it can’t even be snow depth! That’s quite a slant stick lol

0.2” of powdery snow here. I’m just a little too far north on the radar. Sidewalks never fully caved despite it being lower 20’s for the entire event.

He does this every time: Boxing Day, Snowquester, etc… it’s like he wants to be “the guy that called it” in the one-in-a-million chance something happens.

6-8" for me... sure

Wow, I’m surprised it happened 14 times!

Can we get the HRRR on our side too when it's in range?

I thought that one was a general 2-4/3-6" storm on the models until the NAM suddenly gave us a HECS, but it's been so long I could be confusing it with another event around that time. This was back when I was on Accuweather forums so there's no way for me to check now.

Dec. 2009? While I think the other models had snow too, the NAM the day before was the first to show the beatdown IIRC Boxing Day (but in the other direction lol)

NAM led the way in Dec. 2009. I'm just sayin'

How often does it occur where DCA's seasonal snow total exceeds BWI?

Most of this thread should get a WWA level snow still... I think? Or maybe I hope LOL

My only real complaint with some of them is that they actually don’t know the climo. For example, Prince Frederick averages about 19” of snow seasonally, which is about the same as BWI. Same for Charles County and parts of St. Mary’s. Granted, I’m slightly climo+ this year and don’t expect that to hardly ever occur, but it also wasn’t normal to average 0-2” year after year like we have recently. I mean this isn’t supposed to be Miami- we do snow here occasionally, sometimes a lot. So there was a lot of normalizing the recent bad years as if that’s always how it’s “supposed” to be down here. Do treasure every storm, because the long term trend (i.e. the “elephant”) in the coming years is still probably not anyone’s friend.

There’s another thread discussion that’s been made for northern tier counties… as if dominating 90% of the main thread wasn’t enough for them already. I’m all for balkanization of the Mid-Atlantic subforum.

You don't often see an advisory map with all this at once.
