frd Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Just now, jayyy said: Places near Boston saw 16-18”! Wow. Never feel bad for Boston. They get from one storm, what I typically get in a season. 2 decent storms for them equals a good winter here. I get it, they have an awesome location and snow climo. I am bitter. I will enjoy the three upcoming days of highs at or below freezing on my barren ground as Boston locks into a deep winter period. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayyy Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 But hey, any winter where we see a good 5+ events and end up with over 30” is a success in my book. Certainly not the types of winters I’m used to from my time up in the Hudson valley and my college days in buffalo, but it’s been a fairly decent winter. I think one big hurrah KU to end the season would leave people with a much better impression of the winter. Lots of close calls, nail biters, etc. Most ended up going our way, so when yesterday happens we need to get over it and realize it’s March and we live in VA, MD, WV, etc. An area wide 1+ footer would make this a solid winter now.... onto that March 8th-14th timeframe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ji Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Nothing at home from this storm so still short of 30" on the season. If Ji was being honest he is short as well I don't doubt leesburgwx is at 30 because he is more nw than both of us. One more storm please to get ji and me to 30!We are at 30. I trust leesburg wx. Now I want to get over 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potvinsux Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Approaching 4.5" in Snowshoe at the highest point. Silver Creek is about 3". Warming up-above killed it for 3 hours with sleet/rain. Temp stayed at 28° all day now down to 12° with light snow falling. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rates are never as good as progged around here. I think down this way we stole some of y'all precip. I was just under an inch and many CO-op's reporting .9-1.1 inches this am. We were supposed to be 1/3 to 1/2 on the models and north and south of us get more. Sadly 99.99% fell as a cold rain in 34-36 degree temps. I've had more snow (flurries) in last two hours than all of yesterday lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. Your area did better than many. Seems even in March the seasonal trends continue : From Mount Holly for later in the week : Will say that there do seem to be some similarities to the pattern we saw for much of February with troughing in the West and ridging in the East, but also cold air and high pressure not far north over eastern Canada. So an early hypothesis on the end of the week would feature something we`ve seen several times this winter: a leading wave sliding over or south of the region around Friday, with a larger storm behind it tracking to our west through the Great Lakes.

I know the vag’s on here who need 6+ every storm will brush it off, but snow is snow. Especially if you want to get over 30 for the season.

So I wasn't surprised that Frederick to Westminster east to just north of Hunt Valley changed over for long periods in cases ..but I was surprised you were a mix in Parkton for such a long period . id say i sleeted from 00z to 03z with some instances of snow in there as the mix line would sag south. snow is snow tho! glad you and rest of the carroll county crew did well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually surprised how bad the back roads are. Solid ice. All of them. Not much down here. Most everything melted last night. Only thing left frozen this am, besides a bit of crusted sleet on the ground, was the slop on my car that I had to beat through this morning. What little remains will be vaporized by the sun by noon time. Main roads were clear and dry this morning, a bit of slop in places on the side streets. Another rockin' March. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it is indeed crazy that people might prefer warmth and being able to work outside or go for walks with the kids or the dogs without being a cold muddy mess to chasing one inch snows that melt into mud baths at 35 degrees as we approach mid March - and thanks for the school yard sexist taunting too - classy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
