das Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 sorry for the delay! http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/capital-weather-gang/wp/2014/05/08/how-much-snow-fell-in-your-backyard-mapping-the-2013-2014-winter-snow-totals-in-the-mid-atlantic/ That's really excellent, Katie. Thanks so much for taking the time to put that together. I like the little horseshoe of 70+" around my house. I thought at first that there may be some inflated totals on all sides but that little N spike of lower totals (as well as the similar spike in the 60" contour just to the south) correspond well to the corridor of rapid urbanization going on in the NW part of the county along the 270 corridor. Thanks in advance for agreeing to create next years' sure-to-be blockbuster map! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2O Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Also its just funny to open the PDF file of the data points and see names like Dalecaria and Norfolk along with names like chubbs and Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance for agreeing to create next years' sure-to-be blockbuster map! Phew, glad you approve. I was worried about that area, because it looked really funky to me. But made sense based on the data I had. And yes, of course, next year's 100" season will be mapped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Great maps Mapgirl Katie and great write-up Ian. Easy on the eyes too. I like the additional topographical map. It really captures the snowfall climate of Parr's ridge in a classic fashion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winterymix Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Nice product, MapLady. Good scientific integrity. Is it my imagination or does the 60+ inch contour match many of the snow banding shapes that we've seen depicted on radar during the good storms? It seems we had a re-occuring pattern where the rich got richer because the good snow production visited the same locales during several events.
