jonjon Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Which radar do you use for the region? I find wunderground and noaa hardly register anything up there. You have to extrapolate when using the radar for upslope events up here. You won't see usually see any returns on radar for this region, but if you do, that means its really dumping. Hope you made it up, it looks like its all go at White Grass http://www.whitegrass.com/report.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any opinion on the best option Canaan vs. Timberline as to which might have more slopes open? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonjon Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Jon, thinking of coming over tomorrow. Any opinion on the best option Canaan vs. Timberline as to which might have more slopes open? Timberline has twice as many slopes open, and has an overall better variety of trails. With the snow and it being a holiday weekend, it will be crowded at both places.

nw baltimore wx Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Kinda lame for a "cold day". -3 at DCA/IAD and -1 at BWI. I'm surprised that's all it is. But without snow, this is my ideal winter day. Not windy but still cold and brisk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris21 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Timberline has twice as many slopes open, and has an overall better variety of trails. With the snow and it being a holiday weekend, it will be crowded at both places. I was at Snowshoe last sat-mon and to my surprise, the conditions were fantastic. There was even a surprise three inches of snow on Monday. I love the Canaan Valley, but Timberline and Canaan don't have the resources that Snowshoe does, which makes a difference in a winter like this. 45 trails open there last weekend. I'd recommend White Grass over either ski resort at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snownut Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 lovely several days lows in the teens and highs in the 20's , ground is frozen like a brick. seriously doubt I will see low 40's forecast this afternoon, wind is calm and clouds already moving in. Currenty 25 dp 18. so my bet like last storm it will be 33 and rain in 7 hours. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 So I think probably 50% or a little more of the LWX area has seen 1" of snow this winter total? Much of north VA and WVA panhandle have at least 1". The northern and western burbs of Baltimore have 1" total (Frederick, Carroll and northern Baltimore counties). I think the laggards are DC proper, and then the I-95 corridor from DC-Balt and extending NE from there into Harford county. Southern and northern extremes of that area are not far from 1" total, but the middle area (Howard, northern AA county, Balt city and southern Balt county) are still <0.5". Does that sound about right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that sound about right? I can confirm that just northwest of Baltimore city has not seen an inch yet. We got a coating from each of the October 29th and January 3rd systems, but nothing much at all on the January 9th system. I'd have to say that BWI's .4 inches on the 9th is about double what I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that sound about right? Probably. The colder areas obviously cashed in from the October storm (and some with a lot more than 1"), while DC southward did well in that JB 1-2" event. Some others may have gotten lucky in a hit or miss snow shower, but otherwise many have seen next to nothing. As for me? 1.4" in October, plus a light dusting or two from snow showers.
