jayyy

This is the time of season where you can easily tell where posters live. I am of the same mindset as @losetoa6 calm, cool and collected, knowing more snows likely coming by the end of the month. Perhaps multiple. Ji? Well… you know he’s from wherever warmchaserchuck’s from in his mind - which is prob. eastern loudon county. Feeling decent about our chances of seeing a paste bomb in the 3/10-3/14 timeframe - especially for the north of 70 crew up, into psuland and clskinsfanland… which is the time period when we appear to have the best combination of having cold air around and having an active jet stream. Love these extreme boundary patterns where you have 10s and 20s in the north and 80s and 90s in the south. It is currently 1 degree in Caribou ME and in the 80s in the south. This is how we get moisture-laden storms that ring out into cold air domes. March sucks for snow climo wise, but boy, when it works out, it often works out well. As big chill stated on the previous page, these setups, like all others, obviously don’t often pan out — especially with it being March in the mid Atlantic — but when they do, you can see a situation unfold where a slow moving 1005mb low off the coast can dump a foot of goop on us. You don’t need all of the synoptic magic we saw back in January when the coast got slammed with that blizzard. The temp gradient and propensity for more intense, slower moving storms does a lot of the work for us. Climo becomes even more important as we head closer to official spring, as the type of pattern were entering is conducive of the types of snowstorms that can dump 6-12” up north and nothing but white rain near the UHI. I know some of you out there made moves further north toward mappyland USA and the snow capital of central Maryland Carroll county this winter… and while this winter as a whole has been subpar… there’s a decent chance you will soon find out why your move was a good one with multiple marginal events ahead of us

Radar is indeed juicy

Local Forecasters up where I am this weekend are calling for between 1” and 6” lmao. Hoping to see 2-3” of some paste. Kinda sucks to see forecasts of 8-12” just north of here

This is our time to shine. Late feb into mid March.

Current observations Back at home in Union bridge MD - 32F with on and off spotty drizzle for the past hour. Currently dry. DP is 24. Under a WWA for mixed precip - up to an inch of snow and 1/10” of ice Current location: new city, NY - my parents have a nifty weather station. 31F / 15F mostly cloudy - Visibility 10mi - 4MPH ENE wind - Under a WWA for 3-5” of Snow / sleet. Hoping this doesn’t cancel the surprise 50th anniversary party me and my brothers are throwing for our folks tomorrow evening. Thankfully snow removal up here is way more efficient than back at home

Ahh, that’s my neck of the woods! You playing over at Francis Scott key?

Luck of the draw on this storm. Up at my folks house to celebrate their 50th anniversary in Rockland county. Their expecting 3-6” here by 1 pm tomorrow

384 hr clown map? Literally meaningless.

What? No one’s disagreeing that we likely won’t see much in the way of appreciable snow over the next several days. Hell, maybe we even get shut out the rest of winter. The point remains the same though. Using clown maps showing 7-15 day snowfall totals to come to your conclusions is still wrong, even if the outcome ends up ultimately being correct. There’s so many other resources you could be utilizing to come to these conclusions which actually hold merit. Clown maps are trash and they shouldn’t be the sole basis of your doubt over a given patterns potential (or lack thereof)

Agreed. I like the window starting just after 3/1 better myself

49 here. Down 8 since the squall passage

I also lost power nearby in Union bridge

The thunderstorm squall tracking through the area right now is impressive. Wind was really whipping out there with torrential rain for about 15 mins as it went through

Here too. Winds sustained 24mph Gusts up to 44. 61 degrees. My good friends in Ohio said it was almost 60 degrees there earlier and just sent me a video of it ripping dendrites outside their house lol. Sucks being on the warm side. But hey, I’ll take a quick 1” from a death squall in between 60+ degree days, enjoy a few days of warmth, before we get back to tracking our next northern tier MECS

That band is directly over my house. It has to be right by weenie law

70 and sunny in the southern portions of the CWA as it’s 30 and snowing in northern Ohio. Quite the temp gradient

Absolutely. We benefited from timing up this way. 1 AM, 32 degrees and heavy snow. Same bands during daylight and were likely talking 1-2”, not 4-5” for my area and points NE

NAM / HRRR definitely did better than the GFS with this one. They were all too far south ultimately. 4-6” totals from N MD to SENY. 6-8 lollies in E PA. Impressive for a non synoptic event with no low pressure system to track. Especially given temps yesterday

Lol, gotta love how NJ NY up to BOS cashed in on this too. Always

Just need a 100 mile north shift Think we have enough time to will this one north? LMAO

Get better soon, my friend. Drink lots of water & Gatorade, and rest up as much as possible! Oh, and keep away from the horse dewormer, would ya? We very much value your input here. Not trying to see you turn into DT via too much ivermectin I’ve somehow managed to stay Covid free since the beginning of the pandemic despite so many of my friends, family (including my wife and daughter), and coworkers testing positive… which makes me think my time to get Covid is likely coming very soon - especially given how many humans I interact with day to day @ Apple (and their gross personal devices) The running joke is that we all come in contact with so many germs all year long that we were pretty much built for this, lol! In all seriousness though… hope you feel better asap! Like billy Madison said… hydration is key.

My family up in New York have 4” OTG already and it’s still coming down there. Of course, they may top MBY on this one too Those bastids always cash in.

Nice band forming over Baltimore proper

Paste is always beautiful to wake up to in the morning! Nice event up this way. Got lucky with some of those bands. A few solid hours of heavy snow is all it takes 4.25” total gets me to 17.5” for the season. Certainly could be worse given the number of fringe jobs we saw up this way. I doubt winter is completely done in my neck of the woods either. Might be able to eek out another event or two if things line up just right.

Please be anywhere close to right. If it snows even half as hard as it’s snowing now through 9am, we’d definitely hit warning criteria
