BaltimoreWxGuy Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Im sure people already know but all these snow maps assume a 10:1 ratio...I think we may be looking at more like 5:1 or 8:1 at least for the metros anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only places that will get 5:1 are those where the snow is literally melting while it's falling and the snow is struggling to accumulate faster than it's melting. I can see that happening in DC.

I-83 BLIZZARD Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Brutal cutoff... image.jpg Looks like Downtown Baltimore has a mini jackpot. Even at poor ratios that is a solid 7-8 inch snow there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, the map assumes 10:1 ratios. The heat island will screw up the ratios there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaltimoreWxGuy Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Nope, the map assumes 10:1 ratios. The heat island will screw up the ratios there. Yeah, its hard for me to see Downtown Baltimore getting more than 2-3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jums300 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Yeah, its hard for me to see Downtown Baltimore getting more than 2-3. So, what are the ratios north of I-70? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterWxLuvr Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Maybe you guys can talk yourselves into a 1:2 ratio. You know, 1" of rain equals 1/2" of snow..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a little more upbeat than i was yesterday because I've pretty much accepted my fate and checked my expectations. If I can get a period of heavy snow falling, it'll do.

snowfan Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Your ratios will start as 4:1, transition to 8:1, so don't expect anything close to 6-10 That is 6-10" for me, i feel like Martin Luther King right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
