EastCoast NPZ Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 .41" of rain. Might have seen a stray tiny flurry leaving for work. As usual, the only thing that performed was the wind. Absolutely howling. Miserable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osfan24 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 It could be worse. You could be waking up in Philly expecting a raging snowstorm and be getting a few pity slushy inches that will probably be gone by the end of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

das Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Decent styrofoam snow shower under those streamers. It's pretty cool to be under one and look west and see the next one 20 miles away doing the same thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlizzardNole Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 DAS: I was thinking back to some other awful winters like 2012 for comparison -- I can just refer to your sig! I am only three or so miles down 355, but lower in elevation -- I could call it 90% of your numbers for my spot. I remember one approx. 3 inch snow in 2002 and a slushy 1-2 incher in the terrible 1998 winter. This is definitely looking like The Worst of All Time, but I guess there are a few weeks left.

This has been the worst of all time here so far. I'm in Damascus about 5mi from from Das, maybe 7mi from you. Today's snow is the largest snow accumulation for mby. so far. This puts this area a little over 1" for the season. We shall see what the rest of the winter holds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

high risk Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 NAM 1.33 km fire weather nest was run over DC last night, and it really likes a streamer band forming over DC this afternoon and moving to the northeast, giving a good shot of snow to the Baltimore area at rush hour: http://www.emc.ncep.noaa.gov/mmb/mmbpll/firewx/firewx_00z_refc_animate_1h.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, worst ever here in Clarksburg so far as well. 0.1" today pops me all the way up to 1.2" on the year. 2012 was a cake walk compared to this. Nice little snow shower from one of the streamers moving through on Clara Barton Parkway approaching Georgetown. Gives me some hope that the squalls from this afternoon may be dynamic.

That would fit right into line with this winter. Snow to the NSEW of me. But nothing over me. What an embarrassment of a winter for the Winchester area.

WVclimo Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Just lost the sunshine as the first squall of the day moves in. 31 degrees, so some accumulation looks likely. 0.50" liquid overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interstate Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Dusting here in 21057. I have no idea why schools were two hours late. It has been a rough winter. One storm 100 south and the other 100 north. I am glad it is over. See you all next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighStakes Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 30 minutes ago, losetoa6 said: Ended up with 2.5" total here . Currently 29 and cloudy .A friend in Gettysburg got 3.5" . It was a fun one to track especially the fact it didn't show up until the 100 hour mark. Even though the short range models trended north at last minute it didn't bother me because my bar was set low because of this dismal winter and though up here its been bad ..others have it even worse. Hopefully we get a (region wide) hit soon. Maybe some will get some snow squalls later to ease the frustration. Ended up dose to 2 here after a slow start.

caviman2201 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 The elevation (as expected) made all the difference. If you go to CHART, the few traffic cameras on Parr's ridge show snow on the ground (Westminster, Mt. Airy, Lineboro, etc.), but nada in Columbia, Reisterstown or Frederick. The camera in Parkton shows a nice coating while the one in Hunt Valley shows nada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latitude did. I am over 1000 feet and got bupkis. Although it is snowing lightly now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently 30/30 with light to moderate snow. That band of crazy heavy stuff around 3am was mostly rain sleet snow mix here and I think snow for you just northwest. Then we flipped but after that period of heavy stuff moved out. We got another heavy band later but we missed out on that first one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My elevation did matter as I accumulated faster then some places around me but you had to be North enough to get the boundary through before the heavy band moved east for it to matter. A little of column a and b. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
