I think the coastal trend is real and the thermals will be key ...I mean gfs just dropped 1.20" qpf at Bwi . Rates most likely won't be the problem. Fun tracking ahead..enjoy! I’d knew there would end up being a delay, but woke up normal time anyways lol. 2" here overnight, school delayed. Howd you’d do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That slug looks like it could be some snow missiles mixed with sleet. The "slug" is here and pretty intense. Wind has picked up too. Big flakes and close to heavy snow currently. Hopefully it will last at least 20 mins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Legit heavy snow now. Just when I am about to leave for work lol. Looks like I will end up with 1.5" or so. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve25 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Woke up to see the pavement barely coated or just wet and assumed bust, but I measured 2 inches in the grass. I always feel weird saying I had a few inches when the pavement barely had impact, but it is what it is lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve25 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Just now, wxtrix said: indeed i am. I find it seriously hard to believe all the people that have said they got 2+ inches from this system measured it on pavement. Temps were marginal and pavement was warm.

If you don’t have a “snow board”, just go with a flat surface that doesn’t have melting. Patio table, deck railing (for small events), even the top of a car if you are careful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not ideal, but he's about five miles from me, I measured not-on-grass and had just under 2 inches, so he's probably close to right for his area.

CAPE Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Measured 1.6" before I left for work. Was still snowing but winding down per radar. All roads up my way were snow covered. Much less in Easton, maybe a half inch and roads mostly just wet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually take a few grass measurements and then measure on flat, cold surfaces such as the things you mentioned and take the average. You shouldn’t measure in the grass at all. Stick to hard surfaces. While it seems you ended up about where everyone else is, totals can be inflated when measuring on the grass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clskinsfan Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I am at 1.8 with the first part. Hoping the coastal can add to it tonight. It is definitely looking like there could be a nice heavy burst this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
