I really don't understand why BWI is the official reporting station for Baltimore. I get that you don't have as much as an UHI issue but the airport is over 10 miles south if the city. Are there any other major cities that use a location that far away and south no less. You wouldn't want to use the inner harbor for obvious reasons but say a park in North Baltimore and you would get a truer representation especially in marginal events like yesterday's where every mile north you go means something. Aside from the airports NY uses Central Park. If the distance was reversed and let's say they used some location 10 miles due north of downtown that would probably be the Timonium area. Then the average would jump to 24 or so. Then that may be a little to high. You wouldn't use a location that far north so why use one that far south. An area like Roland Park would be a perfect location. Are airports mandatory to be recording stations? I guess thing even out in the long run but it seems most people from the city area received more than 1.6.

Nice!!

Then why should we give a shit when you tell us how wonderful it is in Vermont?

Total was 10.5. Got really windy so accurate measurements were difficult during part 2 overnight. May have been more because it snowed until 3-3:30 but I'll go with 10.5. Have to see how that compares to area reports.

We're definitely over 10 now for the storm.

My favorite storm.

Just starting to see the affects here of that band you're in now.

Its blowing pretty good down here too. I see the band. 7 inches with afternoon snow, then about an inch of sleet/snow mix and then about 1.5 so far of snow on top of that. Total 9.5 as of now.

23 where you are and 55 in OC. Crazy

Just about identical to here. Surpassed last years totals between today and Monday's system. This was a pretty formidable storm for our parts. Great way to kick off winter.

Back to all snow. Moderate/heavy.

Just dropped to 25.

Very nasty out. Getting a heavy sleety/snowy misty mix with visibility dropping. Added another half inch. Temps dropped back to 26.

Hopefully everything cools back down quickly however us being further east it still may take a while. Hope the warm layer isn't too stubborn. We should be at all levels to snow by 10PM or so.

Getting windy.

Still holding on to snow barely. Same measurements here as you have.

Impressive rates for 4 straight hours here.

Heaviest of the day. S++.

Dark skies. S+. Havent measure in a while but looks like 6. Temp 26.

Fingers crossed.

Yeah. Hopefully it slows a bit.

Good question.

Yes. Also Ravens beat the Vikings in one of wildest games ever.

This reminds me a little of 12/8/2013. Insane rates piling the snow up racing against the flip/dryslot. Similar temps too.
