 I live about 5 miles from BWI and i got about 12" from the first part and 1" from the ULL.  It was mostly rain and some sleet with about an hour of snow.  I think the BWI total is close, trust me, i was a bit bummed watching everyone's totals skyrocket last night while we were getting zilched. 

 

 It was great to finally get a foot of snow, but if that was our once every 3-4 year blast.....

That BWI total looks bogus. What are they doing up there? Yesterday morning they reported 12.3, then adjusted down to 10.5 and then they only get 1 from the back end when everyone around them gets 3-6"?

 

They probably quality checked the number and adjusted down based on either bad measuring technique and/or the fact that it was a slight outlier with respect to area totals....BWI has a history of adjustments down after inflated totals...

 

before the ULL

I don't find BWI totals bogus, I find them incompetent

for the 20+ years I've lived 2 miles north before the 09/10 winter, their totals were always pretty good compared to what I would get, usually they reported a little less than what I measured

after the 12/19/09 bliz when they were chastised, they always cut it back inexplicably or are woefully too low to start

I mean qpf yesterday was 1.77" and they reported only 9.6"...believe me, we did not have that much precip that was non snow as we were in the dry slot and the ratios through 2am were pretty decent

all I can think of is agenda of some sort
