PrinceFrederickWx Posted March 5, 2015 Author Share Posted March 5, 2015 Awesome!!! we're getting our heaviest rates right now I see that yellow on radar under you. Both of us could be in the game for a few more hours I think, if the moisture keeps sliding west to east like it currently is on radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowershoresadness Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 here is a poem I did about taking a walk during a night time snow all is quieta soft hush is heard in the distancethere is a glow all aroundthe clouds above nod in approvaltrees bow in unison as if they were prayingthe air is calm,colda light wind tickles the bushesnight has become a soothing dayice from the trees singchimney smoke fills the airmy steps grow tiredmy legs heavymy soul filled with wondermenti reach me doora warmth fills my spirit, for I am home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prestige Worldwide Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Just took a nice snowy Jebwalk. The wife asked what the heck is a Jebwalk? Lol. Still snowing and 6.6 inches here. Very great last hurrah for snow here. Nearing 20 inches for the season. Almost double my average. (Average about 11). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceFrederickWx Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 Well, I have a discrepancy now. My usual snow measuring spot was about 5.5" which seems too low and it appears snow drifted away. My neighbors yard is a consistent 7.5-8" inches everywhere which is definitely too high and it appears snow drifted into her yard. All other measurements I've taken in various spots have been within that range (between 5.5-8"). I did measure 4" this afternoon. I'll see what other totals are in my area but for now I'm thinking of calling it 6" or 6.5" just to average it out. Anybody from Calvert, please post your snow totals so I can compare! Tried to take a Jebwalk but it was too cold and windy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kas80 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I got 6". And a cute little snowdrift against the door that made my cat think she was snowed in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowdude Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Looks like we all cashed in. Congrats everyone! I got between 3"-4" in Salisbury. I love when I get a forecast right It was a pretty good winter overall. Time to sit back and wait for the warmth now! Still can't guarantee winter is over though.

PrinceFrederickWx Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 I got 6". And a cute little snowdrift against the door that made my cat think she was snowed in. I think I'm going to go with 6.5". You had 6", trained spotters in Hungtingtown, Dowell and California had 6.1", 6" and 6.5", respectively, and most of the measurements I took now are giving me around 6.25-6.5" even after compaction (we had some light snow again late last night it seems). Either way, it puts me over climo- my two winters in Prince Frederick have both been above average snow now! Great song to listen to while looking at the full moon over the newly fallen snow last night: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OU2_mQMZFZw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldereagle Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 What a great run of winter weather the lower shore had this season, it will long be remembered........So, how's everyone enjoying the rain and mud? Also, has anyone noticed that the models are "depicting" a return to below normal toward the end of the medium range? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kas80 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 We were able to pick up some conversational snow this morning at the Ches beach/owings line. If you drove toward the water in 260 as soon as the hill started down the snow line stopped and it was all rain. So interesting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowdude Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 hey southeastern MD, southern DE, and south NJ folks any updates for how the hurricane season is looking for our specific area??? any info would be greatly appreciated Most likely an inactive season or at least a boring season due to developing moderate to strong El Nino, but you never know really. NHC puts out their official forecast next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowdude Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Also, mini heat wave next week? GFS is downplaying highs and likely wrong, as ECMWF and GGEM are much warmer. NWS agrees: FAVORING ECMWF FOR HIGHS (GFS HIGHS ONLY IN MID-UPPER80S WELL INLAND APPEARS TOO COOL IN THIS PATTERN). CONDITIONSWILL GENLY BE ABOUT 5 DEGREES COOLER AT THE COAST.

PrinceFrederickWx Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 This big dog storm looks like it could be painful around here. Slop and rain here with unbelievable snows to our immediate north and west. I haven't looked at it much cause its still too far out for me to be fully invested in yet, but if we get a repeat of the 2/21/15 disaster I'm gonna lose it! How's the snow event today going for you? Sounds like Salisbury is doing well at least. Edit: Took a peek at 6z GFS. Ouch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOMDweather Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Light to moderate snow in Hollywood. Sticking to everything non-paved. Hopefully an appetizer to next weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
