Deck Pic Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 Here is a little refresher on some of the events 3/16/07..that was the massive soaker that changed to sleet and snow and dumped on the same areas that recently got the good snow 2/3-4/09 - this was another good one for those same suburbs/exburbs 2/21-22/11 - this was another the dumped on the far burbs...especially PSU hoffman/Phineas land...I think I remember Phineas wondering why people 70 miles from him were complaining since his backyard got crushed 1/9/12...this was the "HM" storm that gave Wes a couple inches 2/11-12/12 - this was the super windy squall...

MN Transplant Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Here is a little refresher on some of the events 3/16/07..that was the massive soaker that changed to sleet and snow and dumped on the same areas that recently got the good snow 2/3-4/09 - this was another good one for those same suburbs/exburbs 2/21-22/11 - this was another the dumped on the far burbs...especially PSU hoffman/Phineas land...I think I remember Phineas wondering why people 70 miles from him were complaining since his backyard got crushed 1/9/12...this was the "HM" storm that gave Wes a couple inches 2/11-12/12 - this was the super windy squall... I almost went with 2/11/12 because it actually snowed three different times, but I basically got whiffed by the "squall" line so that still stings. Went with 1/9/12 because I remember it pretty well and it was a nice rain to snow changeover example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoast NPZ Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Dec 26, 2012 was pretty nice imby. 3.5 inches of snow before the changover turned it into glacial pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2O Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 All of the ones where DCA recorded a # with 0.X are a joy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deck Pic Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 Who voted for 2/18/07?...That was a burst of late afternoon snow which was nice because it coated the sleety mess, but I don't think it was big anywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deck Pic Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 God this is sad. Not all of us get 4" from marginal events that give most people an inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighStakes Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 3/16/07: I was living in Reisterstown at the time. Picked up close to 3, but sleet took forever to transition to snow. The area where I live now received about 8. 2/3-4/09: Very intense band dropped south into this area from southern PA around midnight. It lasted for a couple hours and produced a little over 3.

NoVaWx Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Don't remember any exact dates but I always enjoy those surprise squalls that give 1/2-1" more than events where there is a storm coming and it only ends up giving an inch due to mixing/track.

MillzPirate Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 The squall last February is overrated. I like snow with less wind and big flakes. Prettier that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoVaWx Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 The squall last February is overrated. I like snow with less wind and big flakes. Prettier that way. I've always been the opposite. The more wind with snow the more I enjoy it. My all time favorite storm was 2/10/10 with the whiteout conditions, truly incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2010 extreme Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I voted 1/8/11. It looked like a band of storms on radar. Instead it was a squall with big flakes with greatly reduced visibility.(snowrecho) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr No Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I didn't see 12/5/09 on the list. I think DCA was 0.2. My second favorite is 2/18/07 and gets my vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got 1.5" IMBY and most of the area did better than 1" so I didnt include it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
