Ltrain Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Ended up with about 2", my total hasn't changed since about 6am despite it snowing this whole time. Severna Park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cae Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 For posterity, here are the qpf forecasts of the Euro (top left), GFS (top right), GGEM (bottom left) and German model (bottom right) leading up to the storm. They end at last night's 00z run and start on the 00z run four days before that. (I threw the German model in to complete the square, but it's intersting nonetheless.) We're under another band of light snow now, but the howling wind makes it seem heavier than it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePhotoGuy Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Blow out tide on Stoney Creek. Water levels at least 3 feet below normal. Decent amount of the creek has ice on it. A cold, icy, snowy day on the water! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinjaWarrior2 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Near an inch here in Perry Hall, snow is easy to dust off with a broom and blows off cars, but oh boy is it bitter out, BL-SN, right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still under a band here that hopefully continues for awhile longer. Same here. It's still snowing, but we almost certainly have less than 2". It's hard to tell for sure because anything that isn't anchored by grass gets blow away, and any place that is sheltered from the wind builds up a drift.

Beachin Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Pretty epic 14 inches here in quinby with 3ft drifts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDstorm Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 1 inch as of early this AM. Per radar, my house has been in a band all morning, but I have been at work. However, at the pitiful rates that this storm brought, I doubt much more was added. Worse part is now I will forever have to hear about the great winter of 2017-18 and the raging blizzard that buried the east coast.

usedtobe Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Took a Jebwalk on the old Twin Shields golf course. One of the few remaining bands worked through early in the walk reducing visibility to around 1 mile, didn't last long. The wind was whipping down one of the roads that used to be a fairway, lots of open land and drifting right into our face. Felt like Feb 10, 2010 except for the missing 20 to 30 inches of snow from combined two storms. Into the wind, i thought my eyeballs were going to freeze and it was really uncomfortable. Coming back with the wind felt toasty. A day like today really teaches you about wind chill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Plow just got stuck in front of the hotel lol. Nothing is open here. Dogfish Head might try to open for Happy hour. Still a steady light snow falling. Time for a Jeb walk I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csnavywx Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 6" or so (hard to measure with the 40+mph sustained winds this morning). Blowing snow everywhere. Still some light to occasionally moderate snow falling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87storms Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 got a coworker in newton, ma (right near boston). he said they're getting plastered right now. also seeing flooding pics. this will end up being a legendary coastal city storm giving the stretch from the carolinas all the way up the entire east coast with high impacts. my bro in law in va beach said they topped out at about 8" and that was a couple hours ago.

MDstorm But, one good snowstorm does not a winter make in Boston nor New York City. And, hey, if it does turn out to be an epic winter for them, that increases our chances of getting in on at least one event. Sure we may still end up below average like 04/05, 10/11, but an active snow season in the northeast makes it much less likely for us to have a skunk of a season.

We got nothing compared to Boston in the 14/15 seasons, but we were able to get snow from events that they cashed in on too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midatlanticweather Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Was a really pretty sight down here in Richmond. A little over 2 inches at my mom's house. Heard places 20 miles east had 7 to 10 inches. That death band would not move west enough for me. A lot better here than back home in Purcellville where they had some very light flurries early this morning! Beautiful out there now with a lot of wind!
