das Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Congratulations to all who are getting snow. Does anyone have an obs from Damascus or Mt Airy? I'm down in FLA on the gulf. Bright sunshine with low humidity, temp about 70. Just passed 3.1" in Clarksburg. In these marginal events, you usually get around 25% more than me due to your elevation (and in this case, being east of me). Even though it will snow for a while yet, I'd guess we are done accumulating as it is now 31.9F and the quite bright so a fair amount of insolation is pushing through.

WxUSAF Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 There is a ridge just west of I-95, south of downtown Ellicott city where the elevation is 500+. I bet they are cashing in, since I have 4" and am 10 miles east and 350' lower. I know exactly where you're talking about. Part of that ridge is only 1.5mi from my house or so. 4.4" would get me to 12" on the season, which is half of climo. Looks like I might have it.

AmericanWxFreak Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Eh...20:1 ratios? Maybe if it was frigid cold. Ratios seem to be between 7:1 and 10:1. Not bad for March 25th. Awesome...that's not far from my house. I'd love to be able to count 6" IMBY. Was only 2.5" when I left at 6:30am, so I can't imagine more than ~5" IMBY now. Yep, just measured an average of 4.9" here and I'm about a mile or 2 down the road from you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some radio/cell phone towers there, and I think that's the highest elevation in HoCo. Really coming down good here the last 45 minutes or so. Over 5 inches now.
