PrinceFrederickWx Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 Light to moderate snow in Hollywood. Sticking to everything non-paved. Hopefully an appetizer to next weekend! Nice! It looks like the southern tip of St. Mary's is getting it good. Radar looks like it might fill in enough to get up here? I had some light/moderate snow this morning but it stopped. No accumulations though. oh snap! It's not a party until the south and the east reunite. welcome back to one and all. moderate snow here with everything coated We're back!

Prestige Worldwide Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 At least we are going to have some serious winds and unbelievable rainfall rates. With that warm ocean- snow isn't happening here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redmorninglight Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 At least we are going to have some serious winds and unbelievable rainfall rates. With that warm ocean- snow isn't happening here Ocean has cooled and will continue to do so this week. Water was warmer in Dec 09 and we managed mix to snow 6-10" in my immediate area. As of now I expect a Jan '96 type event with solid front end snow with rain to wash about half away and end with a few more inches snow. Maybe better than that.

Prestige Worldwide Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 But in the overall scheme- living at the beach is far superior IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexD Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 In all seriousness, I wish there was more talk about NHK and SBY in addition to DCA/IAD/BWI/RIC/CHOIt would be nice....we are kind of stuck in a gray area, Delaware is technically part of the Philly forum, while all of Maryland is considered part of this one....I for one, think that DE is closer to the rest of the mid Atlantic climo wise than Philly and it's environs... But yeah trying to decipher what a model shows for us based on output for reporting stations more than 100 miles away kind of sucks.

B-Paq Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I have a feeling here in Easton it's gonna whisker close between snow-rain-snow and sleet-rain-sleet. I'm hoping this thing turns out more like what the Euro ensembles are showing than the op. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping this thing turns out more like what the Euro ensembles are showing than the op. I think Easton will see quite a bit of snow. More than Salisbury and areas south of you. Yes, some mixing does look likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wawarriors4 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 In all seriousness, I wish there was more talk about NHK and SBY in addition to DCA/IAD/BWI/RIC/CHO EZF is probably closest that is talk about enough but even there, it is still like 60 miles away from NHK and 100 from SBY.......

Prestige Worldwide Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I have a good feeling about the models showing us some love today. Let's band together and will this storm home for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceFrederickWx Posted January 19, 2016 Author Share Posted January 19, 2016 In all the models snowfall maps (from what I've seen), you have the snow amounts start to drop off in central/southern Calvert and St. Mary's. It mostly looks like they have us around the 10" mark or so? My concern is still we wind up with something like Feb. 2014 where after the front end snow, we struggle with mixing while BWI/DCA and all points north/west get clobbered. That storm underperformed in my area. DC/Baltimore can sit comfortably but I feel like my area is flirting too much with that rain/snow line. I've set the bar IMBY at just getting at least 5-6 inches, then I'll be happy. Salisbury may wind up with more snow last Saturday than this weekend.
