yoda Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Closer to .4 but it's still snowing for a few and we had some earlier. I'd be comfortable with .5 on the day at least. overperformer so... whens the next one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I'm going with 0.5 unless there are reports that differ a lot. iAd did 0.4 through midnight and BWI 0.5" I think. So that seems like a prevalent number. Hopefully DCA gets to 2" at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deck Pic Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 It is so sad that we are reduced to measuring snow in tenths of inches, and getting excited about it to boot. I always round in every event to .25 increments tenths are hard in a city. Especially this event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebman Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Decent arctic blast with about half an inch of wind whipped snow. It's great when storm perform above expectations. I expected a quarter inch of rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that seems like a prevalent number. .5 it is. Thats probably right. Now that the snow is over, winds are howling once again, worse than before. No anemometer at my new house, but must be gusting to 40 mph at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amped Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I think they are at 1.9" + whatever fell after midnight so probably just short Amazing, .5 seems like a big exageration this year. All the times weenie spotters report 11" instead of 10". Look how much it takes to actualy get 1" of snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ravensrule Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 This morning and then 0.5 tonight. So 2.8" for the season, if we get lucky we may crack 5". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
das Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Had a gust of 51mph last night at 1:15am. Did a good job of pruning all the dead branches from my trees. Low was 16.1F. 18.3F / 9F now. Nice wintry morning out there. Snowfall totals yesterday were: 0.8" from the "coastal" in the morning 0.3" from the squally cold front 0.4" from the inverted trough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2O Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Solid dusting but hard to get an exact amount with all the wind, which is still gusty. I'm going with whatever DCA reports as my total. Best snow yet simply due to duration. This snow has lasted longer than any other so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showmethesnow Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I was lucky if I received an inch total from the whole event between the on and off snow and the melting in between. At least it looked wintery for 24 hours or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I always round in every event to .25 increments tenths are hard in a city. Especially this event. Funny you mention that, I went out yesterday morning and decided on 0.2", but I was standing there trying to think about what would really constitute 0.1". And then last night happened. 0.2" coastal T from the squall 0.1" from the pixie dust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowfan Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 7 springs reporting 16" of new snow so far not counting what will fall today. The 68 webcam at 68/219 looks awesome and here's a link to the laurel ridge webcam. Lots of fresh powder. http://www.paccsa.org/webcam.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhineasC Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Is this the worst winter since the weather boards started? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nj2va Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Just back from Deep Creek/Wisp. The snow started when we got there around 4pm on Friday and it was still snowing when we left there this morning. Hard to say how much they got total with all the blowing/drifting, but I'd say 12" is a safe bet. The powder was great at Wisp but the wind & almost white-out conditions at times was nasty. At times yesterday when a heavier band came, we couldn't even see the next chairlift at the summit. Very happy the snow fell when we happened to be there since it doesn't look like we'll see anything like that here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
