mappy Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 that's pretty rational for where i live. snow is gross about 36 hours after it falls here. i dont own a ski resort so why would i want it to be cold all the time? I'm right there with ya, buddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CranberryWX Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 It's a comin...55 on this side of the Apps. Temperature surged almost 30 degrees before noon from a low of 20 at 8:30AM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solo2 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? Not an inch here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that sound about right? A few miles WSW of the Beltway, I'm at around 1.5", so that sounds right from my perspective. Pretty awesome winter so far.

BethesdaWX Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 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. Try splitting firewood in it all day and see if you change your mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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...

CranberryWX Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Hell naw 'sides, chasing and West Virginia don't mix. Agreed! You need to work on the accent though... That line was just heavy rain and a little bit of wind. I had a higher gust way before it came through from the southerly winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BethesdaWX Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I have just over 58 but the rise is stalling. Stuck at 56 too. The tranquility of this winter is wearing on me a bit, the uber 'still' atmosphere day in and day out is almost eerie in a way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceFrederickWx Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 So the high at BWI was supposed to be 52 and its already 58 out? Gotta love this winter. Reminds me of 97/98 (not the analog, but the end result). And you all thought last year was bad- I told you all it wasn't. THIS is what you call a bad winter around here. Maybe some of those thunderstorms can make it over the mountains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
