I'm not sure what the excitement is. Maybe the folks in a few counties way north and way west can post their obs in WxUSAF's showme's new thread.

mattie g Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Looks like there was almost all (if not all) sleet in Burke. Between .25-.50" of it. I find it really interesting that people no more than 15-20 north and with the same elevation are measuring in inches. Small margins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87storms Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 this was one of those events that probably happen every other day in the upper midwest/new england lol. heard sleet, went back to sleep. i suppose we got an inch here. pavement wet. i'd like for the sun/mon event to pan out, but i'll probably be done with winter after that. i'm ready for some milder weather. edit: looks like some chances through next weekend, so i'll give it until then. after that...bring on spring!

Same deal in Germantown - measured 1.9 inches. What will really suck is if we get rain and 33 tonight, more cold rain Sunday night, then super-cold and dry for a few days as currently predicted. I hope the SE ridge sets up shop after next week and stays for the rest of the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point, having given up hope of any significant snow event at my latitude, I am just rooting to keep the grass dormant through March. Tired of the cold wind too, but dreading the 3 to 4 hours yardwork every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakkelWx Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Eyeballing 2 - 2 1/2 inches of snow on the ground. That would get me over a foot of snow for the seasonal total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayyy Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Howard county schools stayed opened on a 2 hour delay despite there being about 2.5-3” on the ground here in Ellicott City. Would you look at that? They do have some gall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can't extend the school year any longer because they already have extended as far as they can (Friday, June 21st) because of summer school. They are already one make up day beyond the 21st, so unless they get a waiver they may have to extend the school day. Especially if there is more snow next week.
