das Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 2.3" in Clarksburg with the last few flurries coming through. 31.3F at 10am so we were below freezing for all but the first 15 minutes of snow yesterday evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozz Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 2.7" My favorite event of the season due to how beautiful it is and the ease of measuring. better than the HECS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T. August Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 better than the HECS? Yeah, lol. I know it was great for 99% of the subforum, but I was a bit disappointed with the lack of wind and the fact that I got relatively screwed with 20.5". Central Harford Co. got 30"+.

wxdude64 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I ended event with 5.0 on 0.24, a 20.8-1 ratio. Checked CO-Ops in area and they all in the 16.6 to 23-1 range on 3-5 inches of snow. A strangely 'dry' snow considering temps just below freezing, anybody else have numbers like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskimo Joe Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 1/2" in Gaithersburg. Temp never got below 33. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golly Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Thats quite a bit out of line from any other reports in the area, but if you say so. Umm... Greensboro 5. 5" reported earlier...Also i'm ex AWS observer - this snow was not hard to measure either... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Umm... Greensboro 5. 5" reported earlier...Also i'm ex AWS observer - this snow was not hard to measure either... I live 2 miles west of Greensboro. I measured 3.8". Another report a couple miles east was 3.2". Even though it was snowing when I left, it was generally light and temp had risen to 32 so likely nothing additional. All other reports from the mid/upper Delmarva are under 4". Most are very close to 3.5. Only reports I have seen of over 4" on the coastal plain are from So MD, lower Eastern shore of MD, S DE. I guess you caught the one and only mega band there, but it was invisible on radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Ended with 2" on the nose. Got very lucky with temps and was below freezing when the better rates came. Exceeded my expectations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A strangely 'dry' snow considering temps just below freezing, anybody else have numbers like that? Very cold at cloud level. That's why cloud physics and flake structure play a more important role than ground temperatures when factoring in ratios.

Golly Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 All i can tell ya Cape, is that the measurement was taken at 0730 on an elevated wooden surface and not subject to warm ground meltage..We remained a hair above freezing for most of the fall..I suspect that the final tally on the grass would be less, i did not measure there...

Hey its cool. I saw your post after I had just looked at all the PNS obs and it definitely stuck out. Stevensville and Church Hill were both 3.5" at 7 and 730am respectively. However much it is, enjoy it, as it will be gone soon. If I wasn't at work I would be at Terrapin Park right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlizzardNole Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 das: using the numbers in your sig, you have averaged 40.9 inches over the last seven winters, even with a couple dogs in there. That has to be one of the better stretches we've had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchnick Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Not really Really bad in SE VA. It had them yesterday getting 3-3.5" and they got diddly. Horrible prediction. No model is perfect, obviously, but the Euro can fumble on the goal line like all the rest of them, that's more my point. It seems that when the GFS blows it at some location, the belief is that it blew it all over while when the Euro blows it, it's minimized. I guess I'm going into perceptions, which vary with each person. BUT, I've seen the Euro do what it did in SE VA several times this year over different areas that seem to go unnoticed because it didn't happen around the big cities.
