BTRWx Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I think even the city looks good for 1-2" as of right now. Problem with these events, is it melts when you lull, so it makes it hard to measure. Anything to add to the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighStakes Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Accumulation wise this is looking similar to the storm in late March 2003. BWI recorded something like 2.6 or 2.8. Far NW burbs got 3-6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtracker Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 We might need to start paying attention to this one. I'm just now waking up to it I guess. If this were two weeks ago, I'd be all over this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much did Reisterstown get? I remember it being a cartopper in Lutherville which made me surprised that BWI got 2.6" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighStakes Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 How much did Reisterstown get? I remember it being a cartopper in Lutherville which made me surprised that BWI got 2.6" I got maybe 2 inches of slop in Reistertown. The measurement at BWI was a little suspicious. I was up in Westminster that day during the height of the storm and it was a totally different scene there compared to Reistestown. When I left Westminster there was easily 4 inches and it was still snowing good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoda Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 4km NAM decent as well.. gets snow in here by 5am... looks like 4km NAM advertises mainly a snow event for DCA QPF of 0.5"+ for DC as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deck Pic Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 The air mass isn't nearly as good as last March so that might cut down on totals a bit....I'm not sure the burbs will be 28-29 and ripping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtracker Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 In all seriousness..what do we do if the GFS comes in snowy? We're playing it cool "mitigating Mid/late March stuff" now, but.... I'm having a hard time getting genuinely excited because I know the most likely outcome is snow on grass that'll melt as soon as the precip stops...but even so, I'd be delighted with it.

Herb@MAWS Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Snow: I'm always in. There will plenty of time in the months ahead for 92* and high humidity. Also, it will give me a good reason to not do yard work this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
