It was raining on 270 from Rockville and to Bethesda where I work. That little bit of snow will be gone momentarily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baltimorewx Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Not much here at all on the east side of Baltimore County...under a half inch. If you werent up between 4am-6am you didnt see any snow anyway, it was sleet/rain by 7am. A lot left to be desired here in my book. Schools closed though which I think is pretty funny but hey we know how they operate in this sue happy world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does seem a tad low but for here a 5:15am measurement definitely missed a good bit of accumulating snow before the sleet/rain hit.

BWI is probably a tad low but I'm in Elkridge and not far from the airport and was disappointed. Probably only had .3 or .4 or something like that. I don't know where those spotters are in Elkridge, but the one spotter always seems really high on all of his/her snow amounts. Saw they reported an inch this morning. Would love to know what part of Elkridge that spotter is in. Maybe just a super slant-sticker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least sometimes, my neighbor also gets reported as 2 W Elkridge. Definitely looks like the fall line was a drop off as usual. I’m about to drive to BWI, so will be interesting to see the falloff. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MountainGeek Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 1.5” here and precip stopped for now, which is great for the kids to get a chance to play without getting soaked by rain. 3rd accumulating event in 3 weeks, a pretty good start IMO.

Definitely more than I got. You and WxUSAF must live really far north and west in Elkridge or something. I'm on the eastern side and maybe even a bit south. I thought from WxUSAF's avatar that he was in Columbia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
