Interstate Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I feel sorry for my neighbors down the street... They still do not have power and it stated on BGE map that it was going to be restored at 12 AM March 7th... Well because of this event... it now says Assessing Condition.

Jebman Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Half inch on grass here in Dale City brings me to 5 inches on the season. I have been pennying and nickeling my way thru the winter, lol. PSU wrote up an excellent post about climo. He suggested that 7 inches is an average snow season in this region, given the last 30 years. I am nearly there! I am absolutely elated about what I got to enjoy tonight! Those aggregates were HUGE! Some of them were over two inches in diameter and the snow was heavy as heck! This storm was a downright BLATANT overachiever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at latest model though... it looks like it might take the good stuff east. I have 3-5 in my point in click for tomorrow and I just don't see that happening.

JSharp Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Close to 3 inches here near the PA/DE border. Looking forward to the main event tomorrow. Looking to get around 10 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterwxlover14 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 3.5” here and counting. Ps- idk if anyone noticed but.... WSW posted for me and my N Bal Cty neighbors for 4-7” with locally higher amounts near PA. If the ULL hits us here in Harford, we hit 8-10”. That’s my prediction.

Jebman Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 You'll get 10-12 inches. The ULL will destroy you in Harford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

showmethesnow Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 As far as the latest NAM's are concerned it looks as if everyone except for extreme NE MD and portions of the Eastern shore are out of the game for anything of significance except for maybe a mulch covering at best. CCB looks to develop to far to the east, impacting NE MD and north. Only hope for those west of that region are when the upper level energy swings through we will see some light precip break out through the Balt/DC region. Not even going to delve into the temp profile for that precip but radar returns on the NAM's is mostly wet until you get into the northern tier counties where possibly there could be a quick trace or so picked up in the favored colder regions. Always am hesitant to buy into the models when they do a fairly significant shift west in guidance at the last minute because far to often I have seen them go right back to the originally crappy solution if not even worse. Thought/hoped this might be different because the runs prior to the shift actually were in my mind hinting at this shift. Anyway, think I am pretty much done tracking this storm. Will continue to occasionally check radar hoping for a late save but at this point I think we are looking at a complete Fail (except for those who lucked into a little something earlier) for the DC/Balt region. Talley Ho! Onward to the next Fail. eta: Congrats to those who picked up a little something on the initial slug of moisture! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a horrible sinking feeling last evening when the short range models were trending east every run and radar supported. Where the WAA precip was mattered because it indicated where the front that the low would form was. Further east meant a further east ccb later also. And the short range models do suck but you don't want to see them going the wrong way at 2-3 hour leads. They are also typically over amped at range and correct. Seeing them look like we wanted then shift east dramatically and knowing how these miller b systems go gave me an uh oh feeling.

How much time we invest in all these fails After 22 years of tracking I am basically numb from all the fails I have seen. So this doesn't bother too much. Tracking is part of the fun so I don't lose out that much even when it is a fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m on top of that hill, naked, ECMWF flag flying proudly waiting for my snow. If I die here, so be it. Euro lured you up there so it could push you off. Actually this was a massive fail by all guidance. They all had the ccb over central and northern MD. I can't explain it but I had a feeling of dread last night when I saw how the WAA banding seemed east of guidance and the hrrr and rap kept shifting dramatically east. Just felt we were screwed.

Last night I didn't even glance at the 18Z so I wasn't really prepared to what I woke up to. Oh well. Guess I will now start investing full time into our potential Sun/Mon storm.

Weenie Radar hallucination time: Like that turning of the precip just south of Baltimore. Are the models going to bust? That looks like the back edge of the ccb forming to me. Which probably means we're screwed up here it looks like Baltimore northeast is the back edge. Mappy might get fringed by that. But unless it really cranks and expands we are SOL here.

Euro hasn't had what you would consider a stellar winter this year. Probably because we have had a NS driven winter. So it wasn't really what started to convince me we had a shot. It was, as you said, the fact that most/all guidance also saw the shift west as well. Think all these models are actually AI's and their ultimate plan is to kill off humanity and they are starting with the most vulnerable of us, THE SNOW WEENIE.

My thoughts exactly. Done with the models at this point and will just focus on that. Looks like it is forming a little farther south then projected but not going to go back and check. If that is in fact the CCB forming then those just northeast of Baltimore may still be in the game irregardless of what the NAM's say with their farther NE solution. Pretty much nowcasting time.

Think you are still very much in the game. Keep an eye on the precip rotating just south of Baltimore and that probably will give you an idea if you will get some CCB action.
