H2O Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Great stuff, Craig, Dave and all you guys seeing the good stuff. Finally had a little snow here. It still having a hard time making the total switch but mostly -sn here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnis Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I wish I had your elevation It seems like the elevation used to work out better back in the 70 - 80's In the winter. In smmmer It seems like storms often deflect south or north... But I have know data. I remember during "snowmeggedon" Damascus and Leesburg were in the same river... I am up stream. Maybe this year elevation will be more of a factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDstorm Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 It has been snowing on and off all day (mixed at times with rain). It's been all snow since noon. Snow picking up over last 10 minutes. Looking for the bands out west to come through. MDstorm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weathercoins Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Always classic when people spin a post that says its going to dry out some and precip is going to become more spotty behind the punch (which it did, nothing fell for almost an hour and half here) into storm cancel Especially when the low hasn't passed us at the time of said storm cancel comment...

TradeWinds Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Just took a drive up the mountain. Probably the tightest elevation gradient I have seen. 350'-500' it is snowing, but only about .5-1" on the grass. 500-900' snowing at a good clip and sticking to everything (highway included above ~700') with probably 1.5"-2" around 500-60' up to 3-4" at 800-900'. Above 900' the snow is rockin'....probably 4" at 900' up to about 5-6" at 1100'. Highways are a mess going over south mountain as well. Even in the valleys over south mtn (middletown, etc) there is 2-3". I didn't go higher than about 1100' because it was getting a bit perilous. I forgot the camera....sorry. Thanks for the report. I'm at 390' in the valley and an about 1" mostly on elevated surfaces and grass. Crazy to think South Mountain is less than 4 miles from me!

You and I are definitely in a better spot for stuff coming from the South or East or dropping from the North like this super band stuff from the West I just don't pay attention to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrederickWX Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Drove out Rt-340 from Frederick to Charlestown earlier, grabbed some photos and video. Amazing storm, and the elevation aspect of it is pretty cool - in the space of a couple of miles, it went from wet snow with nothing on the ground, to heavy snow with bad road conditions and several inches on the ground in Charlestown and Harpers Ferry. Absolutely love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy to think South Mountain is less than 4 miles from me! By the time you get to the end of the merge lane getting onto 70 from 40W, it is basically a different world. I couldn't believe the difference that 200-300' made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
