North Balti Zen Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Great news Wes, happy for you all down there. Ended up right at 5 inches at my house. Easily best since Jan. 26, 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scraff Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Good morning. Finished with exactly 6. Didn't think we would hit that, but that yellow band early was a game changer. 12 degrees though? No thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Now I have to add Wes to the list of people I dislike who get more snow than me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Based on the latest spotter reports, it looks like nearly all of the MD portion of the LWX CWA verified warning criteria except for the southern most sections (St. Mary's, Charles and PG) and the western most (Washington and Allegheny). Only Loudon in VA though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mappy Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Congrats, Wes!!! Ill probably submit 6" for my final report, since the other Parkton spotter submitted 5.9"... average would be 7" though since I found many spots between 6-8". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.J Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 12 deg with a WC of 10 out. From what I can tell no more snow overnight, most of what was on our deck has been blown off thanks to the wind tunnel behind our row of townhomes. So believe we ended somewhere between 4-5". I did have to go out and shovel the drive again as the winds covered it entirely with blown snow. That wind is fierce, reminded me of back in my college days in NW Ohio in Bowling Green aka "Blowing Green", and walking across campus. I would get to the other side of campus with frozen tears on my eyelashes. While they were not frozen this morning the wind did make my eyes water.

snowfan Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Just got in from an awesome walk. There's no out and I don't know why. They're missing the awesome conditions I imagine the drifts in open fields will be awesome today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 4.25". Might have been 4.5 but I only need 4.25 to go 8 even on the year. Love seeing Wes post 5". Nice! Today is the most wintry day areawide since Feb 2010. As Ian said....we're back! Someone should grab a high res vis sat and post it. Should look pretty good up the east coast.

WxMan1 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Exactly 5", with 1-1.5" of which came with those last few bursts after 10 pm. Beautiful morning, albeit c-c-cold! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midatlanticweather Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I measured 5.5 inches but I see official report of 5.2 about 1 mile away.. All my shoveling last night was for nothing!

I-83 BLIZZARD Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Congrats, Wes!!! Ill probably submit 6" for my final report, since the other Parkton spotter submitted 5.9"... average would be 7" though since I found many spots between 6-8". 8.5 for me. There was compaction and blowing. With the terrain here and trees hard to sometimes measure. I measured spots of 12, 10, 8, 7, 9. No consistency. Last reasonable measurement here was 7 before winds kicked up around 11:00 pm or so, and we had plenty back building bands after I measured that came through York County right to the MD line just below me overnight. I think a fair conservative and reasonable report is 8.5. It was no less than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5speed6 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Didn't get a proper measurement, but the front porch tells me we did 4" or better. We barely had 2" when I went to bed last night. Impressive finish. And the Landover Metro ice rink parking lot: Zero treatment. Solid ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthArlington101 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I seem to have gotten 3.2" inches, as per the best spot without tree cover. That may be conservative, as that spot is also by the sidewalk. In other spots I measured 4" and 5", but I think that is largely snow falling from trees and adding to the ground total.

I think a fair conservative and reasonable report is 8.5. It was no less than that. yeah, i had a lot of compaction for sure. I noticed my measurements suddenly stopped increasing quickly. I sent LWX that I measured multiple spots between 6-8, with 7" being the average. Let them decide what to officially put. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamHLG Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I was nicely enjoying my 6 inches at Chestnut Ridge in northern Baltimore County and at 1:30 the pager alerts for a full firebox house fire in our first due (being a volunteer among the many hats I wear). Fun drive to the station on the unplowed streets with the added bonus of green radar bands. Luckily it was a small electrical fire and we were not out for 4 hours tanking water and fighting fire. But it did get me out into the elements to experience some good storm! Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mappy Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 looks like LWX went with the average of 7", works for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
