Kmlwx Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Measured just shy of 7 inches here. It probably is 7 before compaction. Very light snow falling here now. Definitely watching that stuff dropping out of PA. Might be good snowtv for later. Great storm again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clskinsfan Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 8.75" will probably be my final as I don't really expect more. Great storm...shame on anybody who thought those south runs from a couple of days ago would verify. There is still a nice band to the west to come through. I need to get .1 from it to hit 9.

Mrs.J Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Things have calmed down over here. Went out and did what we hope is the last driveway shovel. 23 out with a stick measurement of 8.5". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scuddz Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 driveway is shoveled, kid got her first sleigh ride on top of a tupperware container and now Ive settled in with a nice doppelbock. And now the snow is ending. Boo-urns. Looks like about 6", maybe a tad more here in columbia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarlet Pimpernel Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 At this point, governments and schools should be announcing closures tonight and tomorrow. The statement on the evening news, "___ County Schools Closed" doesn't mean a whole lot. I would not be surprised at school closures or 2-hour delays tomorrow. However, I doubt the government closes. Probably will be an optional telework/unscheduled leave, and perhaps a 2-hour delay as well. I'd bank on that, in fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely watching that stuff dropping out of PA. Might be good snowtv for later. Great storm again. I never cleared and have 6.7" on all my favorite spots. I'm sure I got 7" or even a little more. I did a crappy job measuring today. I was having too much fun walking around in it with my dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windman18 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 The band to our north west does look good for maybe another hour of snow. Would be nice to add another half inch to the total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was having too much fun walking around in it with my dog. For an extra 0.3 I'd say having run was worth it. Great storm all around and it looks like most if not all did pretty well. Can't ask for much better for solidly into the first week in March. It looks like a January day out there. Already took care of the shoveling - definitely not as easy on the muscles as the past snows this year. If that stuff in PA can make it here we could probably squeeze another trace or half inch (greed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BryanInMd Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Light stuff still falling but seems to be picking up a little. Based on 4:00 radar, surprised it hung on this long.

T. August Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Very difficult to measure. My property is exposed (very little trees) on the W and NW sides, and there's a 1/2 mile wide inlet. If there's even the slightest breeze, it's almost impossible to get a good measurement. I measured 5.5" in one spot, 5" in a few, and also 5.25". I think it's safe to go with 5.5" considering compaction and the annoying wind. Also, I didn't have a spot set up to clear every 6 hours this time, so the 5.5" I measured could've been too low.

I only got around 7.5", Still a pretty good storm though. Seems like 7-8" was common everywhere in the I70 I270 triangle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ers-wxman1 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 The mesoscale analysis says pay attention to the 850mb/700mb frontogenesis. So here it is and we can all see that the good stuff is quickly sagging south. 857f.gif Good use of the maps! Glad to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
