PhineasC Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I have lived here a long time and it has never been like this. There is nothing special about this area snow wise other then we generally get a couple inches more in storms because we are colder, or we nickle an inch or two in marginal events. This winter is on its own with this brutal gradient business. It's almost like living in a Lake effect region or something. All the precip has just centered across this zone, be it rain or snow this season. Either you are a troll and don't care what anyone thinks or you really are pretty tone-deaf.

BlizzardNole Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Looks like another band is forming just west of Westminster. They are getting the goods! A co-worker of my wife just texted her that they have 6.5" in Manchester. She is a snow lover too -- I should ask if she posts on here LOL.

Mrs.J Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Question... So my rain gauge was at 0.68" at the turn over to snow. It is now at 0.80". I am correct that it has measured this high water content snow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoVaSnow Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Big, quarter sized snowflakes in Crystal City to tease us at the end. I will confirm this observation, althought quarter-sized flakes are outnumbered by the microsopic ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clskinsfan Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Those of you that have shovel duty be careful. My 3.8 inches has compacted down to around 2.5 inches. It is the heaviest snow I can remember shoveling. A shovel full of this stuff has to weigh 60 pounds. I dont know what the water content of this snow is. But it is very high.

Amped Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Well Looks like Frederick got around 2. Good thing i am stuck in quakertown pa after the superbowl where we have about 7. Cold air really never made it to the lower elevations south of the md line. Philly seems to be the hotspot this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was what March 2013 was like....lots of whining about the lack of accums across much of the area, but shoveling 4 inches of slush really sucked.
