North Balti Zen Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 What a memorable storm this has turned into. To get significant sleet on top of snow in these amounts is one to file away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dailylurker Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Am I the only one that doesn't walk across the yard because you don't want to make tracks in the snow? I've been like that since I was a kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I was nuts. Thank goodness for the Internet.I also make neat piles along the driveway. I'm careful to pile it up as high as I can. Helps last longer. I'm only like this with snow. I don't have ocd lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamHLG Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Bob Chill if you are reading this you nailed it last night when you said the west track would have killed us but for the true arctic dense air that arrived Thursday into Friday. Don't remember the exact post but you read my mind. I called you out on it too. And it happened (n. Balt. Co.) I enjoy your analysis. For those that didnt get it today hang in there. But up here we finally scored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But up here we finally scored. I still can't believe it shook out the way it did. We fail on good tracks/storms more often than I care to speak about. But to get a precip bomb like we did AND maximize a stale/departing airmass is something else. I loved today on so many levels...kinda getting a little hungry for the next track. Time is of the essence. 15 days of reasonable climo left. One more hit man. One more hit. I promise it will be the last time I do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow we backed our way into the biggest event of the season today and it was awesome. After so many PHAILS, it was nice to see this actually trend our way instead of the opposite. Yeah, we'd always like "one more" I have to admit! To be honest, I don't think we're done. Not saying anything "big", but I think we'll be adding to totals in the next couple of weeks, maybe more than once. First, I'd like to see us end up with an epically cold February, at least out-do the cold from 2007. I think we have a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthArlington101 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 This storm will be remembered differently as soon as you go south of Rockville. This was a fun storm with fairly heavy rates, but not memorable. Maybe I'm way too bitter about the difference a few miles makes. I should probably learn where I live and join the party part of this thread, was the best storm of the season. (so far ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattie g Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 This is an amazing storm up here, sorry you got hosed mattie, that sucks. It was cool for a while, but I have a hard time watching others get smoked while I get relative scraps. Right or wrong, that's how I roll. I feel particularly bad for the folks south and east of me.

MDstorm Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 This storm was great for many (not so great for some). What surprised me most was how just 5 days ago, this storm was depicted on all guidance to be a big rain event. The crappy + AO/NAO lent credence to this depiction. I'm amazed how far this event trended in our favor over the last 5 days. MDstorm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right or wrong, that's how I roll. I feel particularly bad for the folks south and east of me. Your endurance was applause worthy, though. You didn't waver in your posts for like ten hours straight in terms of tone, and you posted frequently during that stretch. That's a pretty impressive benchmark of dedication towards documenting an under-performing situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aldie 22 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I lived many years in Woodbridge and watched quite a few scenarios like this play out to my NW. When i decided to move I took several things under consideration. Quality of school district, commute time to work, crime, price, and amount of snow they get compared to my old location. I've been here 10 plus years and although it's a crappy locale for thunderstorms and it never seems that the kids go to school and I work in New York mostly and I payed way too much plus Ji moved into my hood....when it comes to delivering on snow...I think I hit a grand slam!!

mattie g Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Along with the ignominy of only getting 3.75" yesterday, the nut punch came when DirecTV decided to go down at around 7:00 last night because of a some slop on the dish. Still isn't up this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowfan Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I saw a report of 8" in DC near the aboretum. Legit? The gradient with this storm was interesting to follow. 2" in davidsonville/annapolis, 4" in crofton, 5" imby (a coc report of 6 right down the road) and just over 6" at bwi. That's about a 15 mile difference top to bottom. Really fun event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
