Ian Posted February 14, 2013 Author Share Posted February 14, 2013 Thanks. That makes sense. Personally, I had pretty much given up on the best rates so I thought the all-change to snow would happen in the northern tier counties. the banding was fairly good west and nw of the city for a while. hard to say if/where that's going to happen beforehand. any accum locally should be somewhat spotty.

Scraff Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 probably the heaviest of all the night right now sweet! That band ended for me all too fast. Great stuff if only for 20-30 minutes of this winter. At least it's still steady here. We need to get the band back together now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchnick Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I don't think I've ever experienced such great snow rates in such an awful winter Christmas Eve for about 1/2 hour, 2-3 weeks ago when the arctic front when through for about 10 minutes, and then tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ravensrule Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Moderate to heavy snow, looks like an inch here and still coming down Just measured and I have 3/4 of an inch , I guess it is worth it losing a 1/4 of an inch to get a much better house.

Eskimo Joe Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 At 5:00 pm we had a mix of rain and snow pellets in Westminster. By 6:00 pm it was all wet snow, and now has transitioned to a dry, but fluffy snow. There was a brief period of time where snow was accumulating on the paved surfaces but any accumulations are melting now that precipitation rates are lightening up.

nw baltimore wx Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 the banding was fairly good west and nw of the city for a while. hard to say if/where that's going to happen beforehand. any accum locally should be somewhat spotty. Of course, accumulations here are mostly confined to grass, but I'm a little surprised to see that the coastal is already causing a slight pivot in the precip shield. We might get a bit on the roads if it can last a couple more hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
