PrinceFrederickWx Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 This is for Charles, Calvert and St. Mary's Counties. Southern areas of PG and AA Counties can be in it too. Post forecasts, OBS, banter, etc. Anyway... I'm liking the look of tomorrow's system, looks like it could be a southern MD special like 1/29 last year. NWS has me for 1/2 inch overnight and up to an inch tomorrow. I think winter weather advisories may get posted down here. If it works out, it'll be nice to see some accumulating snow finally after last week's shutout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T. August Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I would definitely want to be down there for this one. I hope the GFS/EURO come north at 12z to lock in a few inches for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel like we have a different climate down here in the winter where we usually miss out on clippers or are too warm for snow. As for tomorrow's system, I'm liking the trends!

Interstate Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 So we are going sub-forum now... maybe we should make a sub-forum for each county. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceFrederickWx Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 Nice little first event for me here, I got about 0.5" of snow with a little sleet/ice mixed in. Stuck to all the roads and sidewalks too. Looks like some areas in St. Mary's got an inch according to NWS posted obs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOMDweather Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Can't figure out where St. Mary's stands with the upcoming storm. Are we too far south for the clipper and coastal to get us? Models indicating we are very close to the western edge with the coastal in getting in on some accumulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOMDweather Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Looks like LWX is expecting us to get clipped with the coastal.

I've actually been following over on Accuweather forums more... the latest NAM looked terrible for us down here but the GFS looks better (to me, at least). btw I haven't forgotten about this thread. There was someone else I know on here that's from my area but he seems to have disappeared. There's some I know in real life that might sign up, idk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SabreAce33 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Eastern Shore welcome here too? I'm in Wicomico. Always a gamble here regarding temps and coastal low location. Curious to see if the Euro pastes us again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious to see if the Euro pastes us again. Sure. More the merrier. Us folk near the bay(western and eastern shore) seem to experience much different weather than near DC and its always fun do to discuss what we are seeing. Would be cool to get more posters down here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m045400 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 St. Mary's County here (Hollywood). I am a long time lurker on this site. I have learned a ton over the last few years.

PrinceFrederickWx Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 One thing we do well here is cold rain- my rain gauge totals just from the last three rainstorms: 1/12- 1.04 inches 1/18 - 1.55 inches 1/23- 1.56 inches I've probably gotten more rain this month than the entire spring and summer combined... like I really need it now! lol TWC forecast has our region as 1-3 inches, LWX has Calvert and St Mary's as 2-3 but Charles has 1-2. They took the winter storm watch away from Charles but left it up for Calvert and St Mary's... idk why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope I'm wrong though. As has been discussed at great length, Miller B's almost always screw us. Only thing we have in our favor is how close we will be to the wrap around being on the west side of the bay. All depends on how far south and how close to the coast the coastal forms.

southernmarylandsnoman Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Good morning So Marylanders. A rainy 38 degrees in La Plata. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceFrederickWx Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 They pulled the plug for the winter storm watches as SOMDweather predicted. Currently light rain here and 38 (while most of the region is snow). :-( We're not gonna get any help from the clipper so we'll need to rely on the coastal part of this, which is when the WWA is in effect (tonight into tomorrow).

I'd be pretty happy with that all things considered with this storm. My LWX forecast has deflated (ha!) down to 1-2 inches. I'm getting some light sleet and snow now so I'm hoping I can least get a pity inch. Its not sticking yet though, still above freezing here.

PrinceFrederickWx Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 I got about an inch, so I'm happy (for now... lol). No more little events. I want either a MECS/HECS in Feb. or just torch the whole way through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOMDweather Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 half a dusting over here That's about what we got here in Hollywood. Maybe 3/4 of a dusting lol. It was enough for St. Mary's to close schools. 235 and secondary roads were just wet around 6:30. Neighborhood street partially covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m045400 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Absolutely ridiculous that they closed schools today and they left the base open. No reason to close schools today.

I'm sure that put a lot of people in a bind, myself included. Schools were originally 2 hr delay at 5am and I feel that was a good decision. After driving to base and seeing the road conditions, I was shocked to hear they changed to close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, i got the first call from St. John's at 5:00 as well and figured I could live with a two hour delay. Then they changed it to closed shortly thereafter and my wife and I were like WTF? She had a full day of patients scheduled so I find myself "teleworking" right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
