nw baltimore wx Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 18 in Glen Echo, wasted. I'll take this past weekend's weather from Thanksgiving to March. This is like getting the sunny and 78 in the summer. It doesn't happen often enough. A waste? It's perfect outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozz Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 17 now, low was 14 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.

BethesdaWX Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Don't worry, March, and especially April, should be below normal. Expect a cold rainy spring. True that. But the death ridge never fails to show itself in July Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avdave Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Rain here too Same. 37* and .05 in the guage. It is different seeing Allegany and Mineral county under a WWA and not Garrett county. Not that it will matter much out there it will all change to rain but some of the colder hollows in Bedford Co, PA, Allegany co, MD and Mineral Co, WV may get a ever so slight sleet accumulation out there.

Does that sound about right? My back yard i.e. Reisterstown/Glyndon = 0.5 to 0.8 inch for the season. During colder and more snowy winters, the well used trails such as the North Central Trail in Baltimore County have significant intervals with treacherous footing due to snow, ice and crust that persist in the shaded areas for days and often for weeks. This phenomenon is absent; it is as if we have an extended autumn season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonjon Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Quite a temp swing today -- after a low this early am of minus 2.2 degrees, we got up to 43 degrees this afternoon. Raining now with snow melting quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CranberryWX Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Wind Advisory issued...wind has really picked up in the last hour out of the SW. The sun has come out and it's warming up into the 60s. That line of storms out ahead of the front looks nasty...it's moving pretty fast across OH and KY. If this were April I'd expect this to be a severe weather event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
