mdsnowlover Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I think there's going to be a brutal gradient somewhere. I hope I'm north of it. I expect I'll be pretty close to it either way. If we're north of the gradient, yeah, 5-8" looks pretty solid. If we're on it or south of it, I'd say more like 1-2". what part of columbia are you, I,m by the volunteer fd east of 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 That seems to generally fall around the Columbia area. A lot of our snow removal sites are in laurel, while our office is in Clarksville. Often we have good accumulating snows in the Columbia/Clarksville area, while laurel and burtonsville has wet pavement or a slushy coating. Because Columbia and Clarksville have 200ft+ of elevation on Laurel and Burtonsville. Fall line makes all the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 what part of columbia are you, I,m by the volunteer fd east of 29 East. So far in the 4 years I've been in Columbia, we've obviously had several of these really marginal temp situations. Except for the couple October snowfalls we had, we haven't been shutout on any of them, although obviously folks farther north like Mapgirl are going to get a lot more than us. I think someone pulls out double digits in northern MD/southern PA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balto can get rain and we will get snow. I have lived here for 25 years. Its interesting the FIOS weatherscan has us with a advisory for 3-5 in. starting at 5 am.

WEATHER53 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 For the ones who can't read. My comments about the ground temps are related to potential for accumulations, not that the ground radiating is going to cool the atmosphere. You all jump so fast, can't read, can't comprehend and nthenjust say the dumbest, most depressive and immature sh*t and frankly Ian you are rapidly rising to the throne of King Dumbass.
