Bob Chill Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 It will all probably be meaningless soon since i am looking seriously at a beautiful home in southern Baltimore County right off of Exit 22 on the Baltimore beltway. It is 2 or 3 miles East of Pikesville and probably gets the same snowfall that they get. I will probably lose about 4" during the average winter if i move there which sucks but it is a gorgeous house in a great neighborhood. I'll trade seasonal snow averages for a nice neighborhood anyday. I looked all over before we bought our house in rockville. I'm such a damn snow geek that I really wanted to live in upper moco for that reason alone (we are a weird bunch aren't we?). However, our street is totally safe and quiet with alot of great kids and families. Just like when I grew up, my 7 year olds can run out the door saturday morning, play for hours with the other kids, and I don't even have to stick my head outside or have an inkling of concern for their safety. THAT is worth 8" less snow and a million bucks imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have one more than me and 4 is plently. Yea, those litte pita's are more important than snow to me too.......although I probably would have sold one in exchange for not busting on 12/26/10.

Ellinwood Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Another headache-inducing storm with poor rates, boundary layer issues and overdone QPF amounts: The verification wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I still got the general idea right, but was off in some key areas east of the mountains. The northern extent of 1+ inch accumulation in NJ was a bit surprising, and the OH snow and southern WV/VA snow was a bit lacking compared to my forecast. The southern edge did go down along the mountain ridges a bit more than I expected. I'm going to give myself another B- for this event. I bit into the hype east of the mountains in VA/MD and put the one inch line further south than I felt comfortable doing, and that backfired. Going conservative is definitely the best option with the snowfall forecasts this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
