They're around 17/18" or so. The Jan 4th blizzard was extremely difficult to measure with the drifting. Spotter in the area had around 16", so it was something like that, plus a small event early in the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand It was really difficult to measure. 50-60 mph winds will do that. lol. At Rehoboth, I guesstimated a foot, but there was just so much blowing and drifting it really was hard to say for sure. I think that area had at least 2 other smallish events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad said that was the craziest wind in a snow storm he'd ever seen and he's lived in MD area his whole life and saw many blizzards, including Feb 2013 up in Waltham, Mass with me and my friend. 4-5' drifts against the house. Pics were nuts. I know you got hammered up in Rehoboth. I really wish I could've chased that storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we usually get blizzard warnings whenever we get the big KU events, but only a few in my mind actually qualified. The other one that stands out to me as a true blizzard was the second storm in Feb 2010. That had some serious wind along with the heavy snow.

WestminsterSnowCapitalMA Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Yeah second storm in feb 2010 was the only blizzard ive seen in my lifetime. It went from 0 to whiteout in 60 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My take yesterday was a bit on the deb side based on what I was seeing at h5 with all the shortwaves and the trough progression, so I decided to keep quiet. Until I didn't. lol.

shoshanaz Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Almost afraid to ask, but what does "KU" mean? ( in context of the posts, it seems to mean "major" ) Not Kansas University, I'm guessing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Balti Zen Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 A prolonged sleet event would prime the roads and sidewalks to accept the snowfall if/when it changes over to snow. I would take sleet to snow over a rain to snow scenario 100 times out of 100 if I have to have a mixed event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jandurin Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 You know it's been a rough (couple of) winter(s) when people even this close to what could and should be a pretty dramatic storm are still hedging their expectations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midatlanticweather Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Definitions!!! What do the following mean to you? Pummelled Crushed Smoked Powder To me: Pummelled - 1 inch plus rates several hours Crushed - Large amount of snow = 8"+ Smoked - Powdery whiteout snow with heavy rates Powder - Fluffy snow that is indicative of a cold column Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I think she was saying that she’d rather rain than sleet that sticks around longer than progged. There’s no doubt that starting as sleet is far more preferable.
