I had a personal forecast of 2-4 inches for Balt. City....and sure enough we got exactly 4"! Lol Of course there's a good dose of "what could have been"-itis here...but still not a bad event!

we all want another 96/16, but these types of storms are the reality.  what's nice is that the concern of a gully washer rain has held off for now, so the first part of this was a legit snowstorm.  those other great storms generally had a nice h5 pass.  this was essentially an overrunning event due to a screaming jet and near perfectly timed cold high to the north.

(Suprised ya didn't mention 2009/10, 2003, etc, haha) Wouldn't say storms like this one are THE reality, but rather what's more common. A big storm can become the reality anytime of year...but the likelihood? Very inconsistent, lol

Yeah, this is the last time I believe in ZR down here. Busted on that front more than a few times this year.

It can happen, today wasn't really a great setup though for it IMO.  Temps in the mid 20's or lower, light precip, and low sun angle is the winning recipe.

I looked at my trees and they have icicles.  Interesting.  Let’s face it most of our events are mixed bag mess.  I just want one more to hunt track and kill before I spread mulch.

When you consider we didn't even get the main storm but rather the WAA out ahead of it, I can't complain about approx 5" while the main storm went to the Lakes.  We can thank the strong HP (strategically positioned) to the north for that.  This was an energetic, spring-like system, with plenty of GulfMex juice.

While I noticed temps rose toward the end of the snow, the temp has remained quite steady around 30.6 for the past few hours.  Just a bit of sleet IMBY as the snow slowly fizzled.
