needbiggerboat Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I meant to say there's 1/4" and it's barley coming down. I'm sorry I've seen wheat fall from the sky but never barley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amped Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 It's starting to get funny how much this winter sucks. 1-3" is too bullish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonjon Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I doubt we even end up with more than 3" here from this event. There were even temp issues with accumulation in Garrett County when I was at work today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grothar of Herndon Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 On commute home from DC hit rain/snow mix in McLean and then all snow around Wolftrap exit on Toll Road. Snowing in Herndon with cartop accumulation on cars not moved today. We will be lucky for a trace when all is done as BL killed us out this way once again. The past two storm warm BL and light precipitation prevented any measurable snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herb@MAWS Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 4:30pm -- temp down to 36.5 with snow beginnoing to mix in more noticeably. 4:55pm -- went to all snow at 4:45pm temp 36.2. Steady --small flakes. 6:00pm -- 34.9 and 0.02" precip for day. Like last weekend, getting best snows right before/at dusk. Grass is tinted white, plus sticking to all the usual areas (desks, cartops...). Steady, but light, snow. 7:00pm -- Temp 34.4 w/steady light snow. At least all is slightly whitened except sidewalk and roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVclimo Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 78" not counting today Thanks. The thing about jonjon's area is they could still get another 78" from here on out. Or 30" and probably still end up BN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Balti Zen Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Yeah. Some flakes in the neighborhood after rain in downtown proper. More pure crap for snowfall. Still stuck on 1.5 inches for this disastrous crapstick of a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 You wanna be a smarty pants on the photo, that's fine... but yes, in the second photo there was 1.25" on the stump in the photo... so yes it's just more than an inch okay?!? Geez... There are a lot of snarky posters on here most of whom live in and around DC. So the jealousy is understandable. Baltimore posters for the most part are better probably because Baltimore often does pretty well compared to DC in some situations, except for one poster from Kingsville. Then, there is Ji.

I am not sure where Matt got that number but it is lower than that in Oakland, at least. I am not there to measure every event but they have not had a good winter. Still blows the barn doors off winter around these parts, of course. No ice on the lake has sucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could easily have an epic March (and into April), though. Folks up there are expecting a deep freeze and massive LES barrage to come any day now...

Solo2 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Surprised to say that I measured the snow in a few places (railings, picinic tables, etc), and all had 1 - 1 1/4". Some of the grassy areas seem to have done even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solo2 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 That's Davis. You probably average 20-40" less. I'm guessing your house has around 60" for the season. Wisp was at 56" prior to today's snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fozz Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Still snowing lightly, 0.75" so far, the total will probably be 0.8" (I round to the nearest tenth). Kudos to CWG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWxLuvr Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Well, not much to report here. Snow from the start, no rain. From 1 til 5 we had good snowfall, large fllakes, pretty. Temps the whole time ranging from 32 to 34 (KOKV). Wouldn't stick to hardly anything. I didn't anticipate the ground warmth would play such a role, but it did. Leaving school, it was really something to see snow in all of the trees about 15 feet off of the ground. Then, when you passed an area totally sheilded from the sun, you had a good layer of snow on the ground. By the time I left the gym, the snow was sticking to the ground, cars. Got home to find about a half inch of snow on all the grass, trees, but nothing even on deck rails. This snow stuck to nothing that absorbed heat from the sun over the past couple of days, and today through the clouds. Everything is now white, so that's a plus, but this one disappointed a llittle. Time of day was bad. Get the same rates starting about 5, and we'd probably had 1.5 or 2. It's interesting to read some of the totals from other areas. I guess being a tad north and maybe under an inititially heavier snow must have helped accumulations. Oh well, on to the next disappointment.
