WxMan1 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Throughout my career in weather, I have been amazed what 300' or so could do for snowfall distribution early/late in the season, not just with the better (lower) temp and thus shallower surface warm layer, but also from what appears to be a more definitive upslope contribution than we otherwise see when the boundary layer temps aren't as critical. Here in Crofton/Bowie, light snow, 32-33F, and barely a TRACE on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deck Pic Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Technically, using the new NWS observing rules, only peak depth matters. So it would be 1". I'm ignoring that guidance for CoCoRahs. I'd put down 1.5" in your case. I'll probably just use final depth unless it is less than the peak depth...I'm at 0.9" so wont use anything less than that if that ends up as the peak...so I guess the NWS rules since I am not getting as much opportunity to measure as I would like...

MichaelScott Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Closing in on 4 inches, 30 degrees. Still moderate to occasionally heavy snow. our 2nd best event is at the end of march lol. Pretty weird to see our NWS guys bust on pretty much every event except for the Feb storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Symblized Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Alternating light and mod snow downtown Baltimore now for the last 40 minutes or so, but cars aren't even really being topped. I see some white on light colored roofs and in between bricks on the ground, but that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoast NPZ Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 .2" on the grass and elevated surfaces. steady light snow has been falling since 9 AM. Temps at 30F at midday March 25 is impressive.
