For the Easton area last year's storm gave us more snow, just over 6". This storm gave us 4" to 5". This past storm the heavier bands kept falling apart as they approached Talbot County. Most likely in response to convection along the coast. Last year's storm there were three heavy bands that pushed through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My law school buddy in Salisbury measured 12", but he's got bad eye sight after running into an ambulance he was chasing! Lol If he sent me one more pic, I swear I was going to give him a bad rating on lawyers.com! He's got like 20" on the year. Unbelievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Smith Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 SBY snow reports are not always very timely (from their CF6) so I'm wondering what you think was the actual snowfall at SBY on Wednesday 17th? (data needed for snowfall contest). Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Preliminary Monthly Climate Data (CF6) report from Wakefield lists 1/17 as a T now, which is also consistent with this map: http://www.weather.gov/akq/Jan17_2018 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrinceFrederickWx Posted March 20, 2018 Author Share Posted March 20, 2018 This just feels more like a northern tier storm to me which is why I’m not really involved. I think we’re getting a lot more rain than advertised. 1/3-1/4 was our storm of the year IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowtoRain Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Yeah, this has cold rain and a sleet special written all over it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csnavywx Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Our snowfall down here is going to be completely dependent on how quickly and cleanly the coastal low can spin up. Strong CAA in the PBL will help switch p-types over eventually on Wed. morning, but in order to get decent totals, we're going to have to get into the CCB and deformation zone snows. That's certainly possible in a 12Z Euro or 18Z GFS type setup where the surface low rapidly develops and the mid-level low quickly closes off overhead or just south and allows decently strong lift gets going in the DGZ. However, with marginal surface temps and March sun, we're going to need the rates to produce. If that doesn't happen, it'll be a grass and car topper. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowdude Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Our current thinking. Definitely does't help with the heaviest falling during the middle of the day. We're saying mainly sticking on grassy surfaces and there could be slick slushy roads. However, some snow looks to be heavy, and that could overcome some warm ground issues, especially north. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csnavywx Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Looks reasonable to me. Better to hedge lower until some of the mesoscale details can be worked out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

csnavywx Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 After further review of this morning's satellite, radar and guidance, it's time to bump those totals way up. I'll re-post here in a few, but 6+ looks to be on the table for SoMD and the Ern Shore for sure. There were some hints yesterday about the possibility of the track trending closer and a clean transfer. That seems to be the preferred outcome this morning. In particular, there's now agreement that the H5 and H7 lows will develop just southwest and track just south of the area, with southeasterly and easterly winds at those levels, unlike yesterday, which showed messy and weak flow at that level. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceFrederickWx Posted March 20, 2018 Author Share Posted March 20, 2018 Wow that would be awesome! I’ve had several 6-6.5” events over the last few years, but anything over that would make it my biggest event besides the Jan ‘16 HECS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

csnavywx Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 To be fair, there's still some uncertainty there (and thus bust potential). It's a fragile setup, though it's getting harder to ignore the chorus of a low tucked in 50mi e of WAL and decent convectively-enhanced banding tomorrow. Only additional problem I see on further analysis is the potential for a later changeover closer to the eastern shore. That warm nose will be resilient for a while until heights crash and lift can act robustly on that layer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
