ravensrule Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 .8" first batch and then 1.4" with the second part. So 2.2" total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxMan1 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 The "Great Flizzard of 2015" resulted in a whopping 0.75" of (mainly) snow here in Crofton. And that's being generous. Looks like areas west of the fall line (I-95) did much better, both in VA as well as MD. I've always felt that in highly frotogenetic, east-west banded situations, that little bump in topography -- even 300-400 feet -- can make all the difference in the world in terms off the added low level convergence. Analogous in a way to the better lake effect snow bands that set up where the over-water fetch is longer (even if slightly) than with the bands on either side.

Mrs.J Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Good solid 3" up here. I really had just kind of written this off. Kids are enjoying another snow day, number 4 of the 5 allotted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchnick Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Ended up with just a dusting (~.5") from Round 2 in Glen Burnie... Congrats to western guys who cashed in! having grown up in and now working in Glen Burnie, the difference between GB and Linthicum in marginal events is noticeable I received close to 2" for the whole thing I first noticed it when I went to high school and the bus drove up Hammonds Ferry Road and I would get frustrated as hell seeing an inch there and next to nothing when I got home 10 minutes later of course, another 10 minutes west from Linthicum and you're in Elkridge and the diff between them and me is almost always a source of additional weenie frustration !

WxUSAF Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 having grown up in and now working in Glen Burnie, the difference between GB and Linthicum in marginal events is noticeable I received close to 2" for the whole thing I first noticed it when I went to high school and the bus drove up Hammonds Ferry Road and I would get frustrated as hell seeing an inch there and next to nothing when I got home 10 minutes later of course, another 10 minutes west from Linthicum and you're in Elkridge and the diff between them and me is almost always a source of additional weenie frustration ! Driving between Columbia and Greenbelt is pretty telling in these situations as well. There's a little hill on 295 near the 198 junction and even that little bit of elevation between there and down near the 32 junction can be quite noticeable for snow cover.

clskinsfan Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 we benefited from this: NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/... COASTAL LOW IS RAPIDLY EAST OF THE DELMARVA THIS EVENING...WITH PRESSURES FALLING 7 MB IN THE PAST 6 HOURS PER MSAS ANALYSIS. RADAR BLOSSOMED THIS EVENING AS AN AREA OF CONVERGENCE DEVELOPED IN THE INCREASING NE FLOW AROUND THE SFC LOW...AND THE REMNANT WAVE/FRONT FROM THE CLIPPER LOW...AIDED BY THE OROGRAPHICS OF THE BLUE RIDGE/CATOCTINS. INTENSITY OF THESE SNOW BANDS HAS BEEN VARIED AND LOCALIZED. Yeah. Had a 2 hour delay into work this morning. The drive in was really cool. Was a general 3-6 inches that I saw. It was not uniform though. Some parts north of Winchester had 5-6 inches at least. South of town they have around 3 or so. If you got under the band you got a decent event out of this for sure.

mitchnick Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I think the lesson for us, though we never had a chance at decent snow with this one, is that unless the computers are all steady or increasing the qpf numbers w/in 24 hrs. of the event, be worried Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T. August Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Snow Total: 1.5 Just never had good rates last night. There was some sleet/freezing rain also last night. 1.5" is really good, considering it wasn't all snow. I had all snow the entire event, and couldn't get above 1" lol.

87storms Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 this event reminded me of those misty/light rain days we get in april/may except this time it was frozen. also, had a very orographic feel to it like we were trying to squeeze out every last drop from the atmosphere. overall, we got miller B scraps. it was an event, it snowed a bit. onto the next one.

infekshus Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 A good spot is Boston. Just got a report from a co-worker that at 8am, the JFK Federal Building had just measured 21" and it was still pouring snow. Nice! how about just W of there in and around Framingham...28-30" as of 15Z and still dumping. making a run at three feet if that heavier band can push a little farther west.

HoCo but I work in DC and the commute would have been untenable. Kind of my situation as well. I had a choice of N/W Va or Cambridge, MD the last time I moved. I decided I loved snow to much for the eastern shore. Although I love the beach quite a bit. Once I knew I was staying in VA. I looked for a ridge to the west of Winchester as I knew that was the area that got the most snow. Pretty sick addiction if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
