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...
brad1551 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Nothing but rain and some snow showers that amounted to nothing, just like our winter so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2O Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 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.

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.

If we get even one storm that actually accumulates on the streets of 1", i will lie naked in a bed with JI for the entire storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fozz Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Trust me 3/4" on grassy areas is not much better. I disagree. This winter, anything that whitens the ground will make me happy (and that should really be true for every winter). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not mind 3/4" but it is so much better when it is on the streets. This winter i will take it on grassy areas but it still sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amped Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I'm glad today sucked. Wouldn't want our record for suckiest winter ever ruined by this little piece of crap, or have October 29th dethrowned as the best event of the season. It still stands that way in Frederick Hagerstown and Westminster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amped Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Today was better than Oct. 29. Sad to say. Hard to say, they both melted signifigantly as they fell.

FrederickWX Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Those are some awesome pics, Frederick! How much snow was it? About three inches at the higher elevation points. However, most spots in the valley only had about an inch. One more, from Pine Rock on Catoctin Mountain.

With the exception of the photo taken in Burkittsville, all were shot at Pine Rock on Catoctin Mountain (elevation 1200') and Gathland Park (elevation 1000'), in western Frederick County.
