yoda Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 What are these rumors about warnings? I have some sources and haven't heard of anything in terms of additional headlines. Is it just a hunch based on sterlings updated ice maps? Its in the zones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePhotoGuy Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Crofton is a fair piece south of BWI (6+ miles as the crow flies) and in borderline situations does do worse so I believe that in Crofton by I know here 2 miles north I reached 2" personally, ever since BWI was accused of botching snow totals on 12/19/09, their totals have been substantially less 1.5 here. It started here sooner than you. I think my location is more east/northeast than you. It just took longer to stick here due to the warmer temperatures.

snow. Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 29.9. Slow and steady rise. Measured 1.1" at the switchover, and 1.3" a couple of minutes ago. you must have.. it was pouring sleet eh,..maybe i should have measured earlier...0.9 - 1.2 was pretty much the range when I measured in a bunch of different places...I did get near a 2" reading up against a wall where there was drifting!..so I am going to go with 1" since I always round to the 1/4" FWIW, it is treacherous out....

wxmeddler Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Is that a special "IAN" ruler by chance? It's actually from C-SPAN Presidential campaign 2012 with the presidents on the back. It was just the one I had laying around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Only thing I can think is LWX is splitting the warnings into pieces... thats why its taking forever. As in 5 counties for 0.25, 5 counties for 0.35... etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aldie 22 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I would guess between 3-4" total....really easy to shovel...was sleeting and raining a bit but i wasn't wet when I came in though so more frozen I guess.
