jnis Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 It is impossible to get a super accurate measure of accumulations due to leaves, warm ground, etc..In my back yard there are places that are 3 plus inches and there are places with much less. Also, there was a lot of melting in between bands and during periods of rain. It seems like forecasts from NWS have been very accurate in MBY. ahttp://www.americanwx.com/bb/index.php?re places at 1 " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoast NPZ Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 NWS forecast was too bullish IMBY, but I never believed we'd get 5 - 10 inches in the valley. When the temps this morning dipped below freezing I thought we might be in for something good. Then very quickly the temps jumped to 38F, and that was the ball game. It was really just a wet, slushy mess. I need to move to higher ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nw baltimore wx Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Still a lot of sleet mixed in here. It's just laying a good base for when the dynamics overhead die down a bit and it changes to moderate snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
