Similar but slightly different storm would probably fluff us to death. I'm not very picky either way. Beats the F out of mixed to melty glop. I was just assuming 15:1 at the end myself.. though I felt I was sort of 'guaranteed' 7-8 or so based on that midday today.. and it kinda looks that way for now so I dunno. Whatever.

Deck Pic Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 It's stunning that people are starting to get heavier snow at the time when models for days said people were going to get heavier snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Mt Airy is getting a good raking right now. Radar looks really nice. Banding taking shape. Not seeing many posts from the folks who declared dryslot/over/cancel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't let it pile up too much...unless it's a north facing yard or street of course. Then go ahead and leave until spring. Cheers Jeb! I will. You can bet I'm gonna pile it up on the north side of the house, even in this cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kas80 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 3.75" much better flake formation though I miss the glitter a bit. 16 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skywalker03 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I've stayed positive throughout. It's a great scene out there when you stop worrying about lulls and dryslots and back edges. Matt's faith in the models also helped. Required ob: Snowing nicely now. One more measurement: right under 3 inches in N Rockville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a slight off-topic late night banter-esk curiosity, what's the point of having the ratio chart if the surface isn't so important? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
