vitaminmawc Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Whatever the radar is showing over downtown Baltimore right now, it is lying. It has been lying for an hour or two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowfan Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Downtown Baltimore is a terrible place for snow. Anyway, best rates of the day 20 miles to your south. Whatever the radar is showing over downtown Baltimore right now, it is lying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighStakes Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I don't have the same level of experience following these like you, but what level I do have...I agree with what you're saying here. I can recall several times where we finished strong at the end. Not sure if it's a general rule or for certain types of storms, but I've seen it happen regardless. Immediately coming to mind (recent ones) would be Mar. 1-2; 2009, Jan. 21, 2014; and this current event. I might even throw in that clipper in Jan. 2003, we seemed to score pretty big right at the tail end. There are probably others, too, I'm sure. It's definitely the cold storms/events that you guys cash in during the endgame. The arctic push south tend to enhance the bands as they slide south. In many of these cases the bands also slow down somewhat. I think you can add the 12/5/2007 clipper and 3/7/2007 clipper to the list. They were very cold clipper as well.

cigrgd Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Snow has stopped after a few nice bursts over the past hour. 3.5" on the ground and a thin layer of ice from last night on the bushes and branches. 15 degrees. It was a beautiful morning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginger Wood Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 It's been steadily and heavily pouring small snowflakes for over an hour, but suddenly the flakes have started to grow bigger! They are fluttering down now instead of just pouring straight down. Flakes are definitely growing steadily bigger. There are even a few big fat flakes mixing in now as I type this. 15.9 degrees right now in central Prince William County. This is so fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Ripping snow in North Bethesda. Eyeballing it, it looks like I have around 5". Waiting for this band to end before I try to measure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Balti Zen Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Whatever the radar is showing over downtown Baltimore right now, it is lying. Correct. Nothing at all. Hasn't been snowing here since 9:30 am. Once it shut off, it stayed off. Pretty disappointing bust for this part of the area in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
