I had more than that in a lousy sleet storm. 0.7" is a boring squall or a front ending as a bit of snow or a failed SWFE that drops a little glop and then an inch of rain. Zero point freakin seven inches. Gah. Yeah it's a an hour or two of snow showers. It almost seems incomprehensible.

CoastalWx Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Day 8 looks better on the ensembles. Given the pattern...probably good for an op run to show something flat this far out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I delivered 180 gallons of syrup to Charlotte in January and had to drive from there up through the DC area and had to deal with hundreds of miles of snow covered roads through areas that had more snow than I had had up until that point. I would NOT say that it never showed up. That was a big storm for them. I missed that by about 50 miles. Only managed a coating in that early January storm. 37 minutes ago, dendrite said: Jesus H....I knew it was bad down there, but I just noticed 0.7" so far at BWI. Ouch. DC can't be too far off. They missed the early January storm. They may have gotten something in late January while I was traveling for work. An inch or less seems about right. Maybe 1.2"? It's funny. I never thought I could handle a snowless winter, but when you have zero chance, you focus on other things and there is little disappointment if a storm misses.

snowgeek Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 I grew up in Baltimore. .7" woulda made me crazy! I wonder what their record low season is? We were in the NW suburbs so I think we averaged like 26" or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the locals are surprised by the lack of winter down here this year. Just happens to be my first winter down here. I would have felt right at home if I moved down before 2009-2010.

snowgeek Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Baltimores low is .7" in 49-50. DC's is .1" in 97-98 and 72-73. Glad I don't live there anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero point freakin seven inches. Gah. Yeah that's actually incredible to me. I mean you can get that in diamond dust on a cold night with some moisture. Then again, last year up here we couldn't even get 3"+ to fall all at once even on Mansfield when this year every passing vorticity max can fart that out in 3 hours. I remember being so excited for a couple 4" events in April. This year if it's not a multi-day total of 18-36" on the mountain, it's a meh system.

This winter has been so back and forth..who knows what's ahead...anything past 5-6 days has been tough to see this year it seems. Many conflicting signals it seems. Nah, no attacks just busting his chops since he wears the biggest snow goggles in nyc. With that said, sure it can technically snow over his fanny until April...nobody knows what will happen but prolonged days of 20s, a good nao blocking with big west ridge pattern, does not seem to be walking through the door. For them, even for us, it is about adding to the totals. A 4" snowfall being washed away in hours is considered a net gain, where as it would not have last month.

eekuasepinniW Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Baltimore had 37 lows of 70 or higher last summer. That easily makes up for any lack of snow. Edit: wow DCA had 78, and plenty of 80+ lows as well. <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USCAPEWEATHERAF Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 We have had 40" on the season already, I think another storm or two could bring it up to 50" and I would call that a good season. I like the March 2nd storm on the GFS, that looks quite intense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So 50" at HYA is not a "good season" it is a "miracle season". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 20-30" general avg swath through the cape is about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
