psuhoffman Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Williamsport is so far north compared to all of us, and yet they only average 36" of snow.... not much different from psuhoffman or HighStakes, though it comes much differently. UNV averages as much as Boston but in recent years it hasn't seemed like it. They average 45" but these days they're having a hard time getting much above 50" and are often getting seasonal totals in the 20s, not that most DC folks will care or feel their pain, but imagine Boston going through that (which I think they did back in the 80s). I basically think of the Laurels as an extension of Garrett county...great place for snow with a lot of triple digit averages. . I would much rather live here. I prob avg a couple inches more plus the odds of seeing a 10" storm are way higher here. The odds of a 20" storm are astronomically higher here. They get a precip shadow effect in the pa Central Valley. It's a crappy snow spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kay Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Winter Weather Advisory for Carroll County, Northern Baltimore County, and Harford County until 8:00am NW Harford only.

Jebman Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Looking forward to a cartop coating of rain tonight. It's going to be entertaining to watch all that rainfall accumulate in all the low places on my already waterlogged lawn! Dec 8th 2013: 1 inch of snow in Woodbridge. Dec 8th-9th 2014: About 1 inch of rain in Woodbridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T. August Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 NW Harford only. The new regime...I still see the WWA on my point forecast but it's just a tease. There's only one time I can think of last season when we (SE HarCo) would've had a WWA/WSW, and they (NW) wouldn't. That event is 3/17/14. We had about warning criteria snowfall, while accums. in the upper county were less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonderdog Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Seems to warm upper level s So you don't think that once the storm gets its act together, it won't be able to pull a little cooler air in to the system as it retrogrades into the coast?

psuhoffman Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 The qpf is bs but it's not just the nam with that wrap around precip. The 18z gfs and 12z uk showed the same. Some runs if euro had it too. Seems to pop up in about held the runs. Enough that it's possible. Especially nw of 95 might be a surprise at the end.

psuhoffman Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Predicting the location of the wraparound with the h5 passage is difficult but I wouldn't be shocked if someone north of dc with a little elevation gets a few inches from that.
