Analog96 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 8" of snow, 3" of sleet, then rain, then an inch of snow on the end= a foot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solo2 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Don't remember exactly the amount, but it was less than impressive in downtown Baltimore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWxLuvr Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I was living in SWVA at the time. I had 26 inches, 8 to 10 foot drifts. Best weather event I've ever experienced. The wind, the temps, the duration and intensity of the snow was just incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is amazing isnt it. also hard to fathom, the pandhandle of FL had 4" of snow in this system. I used to have pics saved, but I think I lost them when moving around. Pretty wild system.

Sparky Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 12 inches where I was in NE Baltimore. The sleet and freezing rain capper was strong enough to walk on without falling through. I don't think the temp got above 32 so no plain rain to speak of. My current home in Westminster got 18+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellinwood Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I lived up by Syracuse at the time, and I was 6. Only thing I remember was not being able to even walk through the snow, as it was up to my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozz Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 In my backyard: roughly 16" But back then I lived in downtown Manhatten which got a foot of snow and lots of rain. And I was 2 so I don't remember it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grothar of Herndon Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I was in Fairfax City. We had 10" snow and lots-O-sleet! Amazing storm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlizzardNole Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 That storm was the most painful ever for me as my southern MD location (at that time) saw just a few inches (about 5") followed by heavy rain. I remember seeing footage of blizzard conditions in Alabama while the rain was pouring outside. That storm was the final straw for me living in lower southern MD and being a snowlover. I soon re-located to the far NW suburbs where I've been since Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 We had around 12" in Bel Air with a good crust of sleet on top. I remember the sleet crust was *almost* thick enough to walk on for a 11yr old me. I remember it being very windy and that bothered me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huffwx Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Was in college in Chattanooga, TN== they had 21 inches. However, I was home for spring break== lived a mile from ILG and the 14 inches is about right-- 11 or so was all snow, 3 inches of sleet and snow mixed (mostly sleet) and maybe another .5 or so afterwards. They called for an additional 4-7 from the backlash that never happened. Had that happened, may be my all time favorite event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
das Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I remember it well. I was giving a verbal defense of a senior thesis at school in California on Tule Fog (boooooooring) and all the review panel could do was talk about the storm. When they heard that I was from the east coast, they spent 50% of the allotted time asking me about what it's like experiencing a major east coast snowstorm. I got a low B on my mediocre paper and and A on my defense. Reports from home were 12" of snow in Potomac, MD and 10" down in Montclair, VA.

gymengineer Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 13.5" at Potomac, MD. Never changed to all rain--- was heavy, jagged edged sleet for a couple of hours starting at 2 pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CranberryWX Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 At the time we were in Ohio , south of Cleveland. I think the official measurement was 12" in our county, but we had tremendous drifting. Our first child was born a couple days later. I remember trying to dig out the driveway incase we had to go to the hospital. I had to break trail down our street out to the main road with my 4X4 work truck. The city had to use front end loaders to clear some streets...too deep for plows.

NO, you had 2.3 inches of rain. That not a partly cloudy day. If the Boxing Day storm was 150 miles west, I could of had 20 inches of snow too-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
