ravensrule Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 It's cool. When it comes to mileage, Google Earth is my best friend. I just mapquested it, i am 9 miles from the center of Pikesville according to mapquest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozz Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I just mapquested it, i am 9 miles from the center of Pikesville according to mapquest. I think you're using driving distance rather than point to point, hence the confusion. My home is also a 9 mile drive from Pikesville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nw baltimore wx Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I just mapquested it, i am 9 miles from the center of Pikesville according to mapquest. I'm not ragging on anyone. I just like to know where my neighbors are because although we are all close, there can be some big differences in our snow events. I've got good elevation, but being near the beltway hurts.

Bob Chill Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Good memory that is where i am, that is not west of you it is slightly east and about 12 miles north of you. When i was driving home from work last night and i drove through Owings Mills there was already accumulating snow on the grass there and that is only about 5 miles north of you. If you're 12 miles north of Pikesville then you'd be around Sparks Glencoe. Mileage is not my specialty but i work near Pikesville and it is about 12 miles to my house from work so however you want to cut it, sorry i am not mapquest. I just mapquested it, i am 9 miles from the center of Pikesville according to mapquest. Just post your full name, home address, dob, and ss#. I'll take care of it from there.

I do not even know how to use point to point, directions is one thing i am horrible at. If i did not have a gps in my car i would be lost going to the grocery store.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...
