jayyy

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

Folks living in the UHI never understand the magic until they witness it firsthand. It’s just a different world up here.

We’ve been getting pumped in the corridor between Urbana and Westminster for the last 1.5-2 hours. Doesn’t look like we’re anywhere near done either.

Just measured - 2.25” and heavy snow falling. Ratios are solid considering where temps were 12-24 hours ago

Every bit helps up this way! I moved about 50 minutes (roughly 35-40 miles) NW of my old house in Ellicott city, north of I70, and it has made a world of difference, especially in marginal events. I don’t have the ridge, but the extra elevation and distance away from the bay, i70 / i95 has helped immensely. Last year was an extreme example of the benefits of living in the northern tier, but even during an event like this one, the benefits are quite obvious. I’ve also noticed that this area over to Thurmont has been a pretty consistent sweet spot for banding over the last few seasons. Can’t say I’m mad about my move at all. Anyhow… current storm! 31 degrees & heavy snow continues as the radar continues to light up WSW of here. Been getting lucky with banding since 1 am or so

Hmm.. CHO and Staunton appear to be JUST too far southwest to get in on the action right now. Things definitely setup a bit further north, more in line with the NAM HRRR HRDRPS camp- versus what the GFS was depicting, which was a Staunton / CHO special

Just wait til THE band arrives

I’d say so.
