Sparky Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 This storm was legit especially the last hour and a half. I am going with a final of 4.75". Considering I was above freezing for much of it by a degree or so I don't think I could have done any better than this. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fun little storm. @nw baltimore wx HoCo has the trucks out salting but the plows are up. My little electric snow blower about froze solid on the melt filled slush on the side walk. So you’re saying there’s a chance in the morning??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scraff Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I didn’t see @WxUSAF on the sledding slopes. Only ran into Spruce Willis. Yippee Ki-yay... 2 inch(ish). Great day. Let’s do it again soon?? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clskinsfan Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 The roads are a mess out in the Winchester area. Solid ice. Should make for a fun morning commute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nj2va Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 The flip was fun for sure....one of the most impressive flips I remember here in a marginal event. I wish I kept my Christmas lights up! Got about 0.8”. Congrats to the NW crew, great pics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a really nice treat to tide us over through the upcoming shutout period. No complaints at all, especially when we were expecting a no-go until after Jan 20th anyway. @psuhoffman has been quiet (unless I missed it)......need to know how that inverted trough paid off for you in Jackpotville. Any takers for 6"? Been out having fun. Ended with 5.2”. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVclimo Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Temp is plummeting. 22° after a high of 33. Just returned from a drive around the area and in the densest patches of fog the truck thermometer rapidly fell as low as 15° and then shot back up as soon as we found clearing. Rural roads are snow-covered and icy. Beautiful night for a walk too, with brilliant starlight above the ground fog and a bright moon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MillvilleWx Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Final total - 3 inches God I miss home. It’s low key one of the best spots for snow in southern Baltimore Co. Glad to see the area cashed in . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psuhoffman Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 My daughter Nora got to play in the snow for the first time. She loved it. Then took my son to the school at the bottom of the mountain to go sledding. I was saying we are overdue for a year without a warning level event here, been since 2002. This won’t be the year. Ended up with 5.2”. Down to 27 now. Roads are very icy up here. Going out for one more jebwalk. 24 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RevWarReenactor Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Nice pics, amazing, how a short ride to the west is the difference between a nice snowfall and nothing more than a mailbox dusting here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
das Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 1.6” here in Clarksburg. Snow was slow to stick even though the hi temp was 39°F (late morning) and the temp was at 35°F at (rain) onset. Even when air temps dropped to freezing, the warm ground ate trillions of sacrificial flakes. The finale at the end was rippin’ fun. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentTalkie Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Wintergreen ended up with about 5”. Made for some fun skiing after work with the kids. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StantonParkHoya Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I don’t want to take away from the fun, but this event really underscored the UHI that is DC once more. We had enough heavy snow, that in a rural field would have amounted to 2-3 inches, but was quickly vanquished by the concrete and steel. It’s sad. I really appreciate everyone’s pictures. It was fun nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdhokie Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Glad I left the lights up for an extra week! Time to take them down between the washout this coming weekend. Snow stuck to all the trees making it very pretty outside. 2", Just enough snow to sled and make a snowman. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That just says what is going to fall based on a 10:1 ratio, not what is actually on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am blasting some killer EDM tracks at 225 decibels as I look at that snow! YOU REALLY NEED TO AMPLIFY THE SPEAKERS TO EIGHTEEN WHEN YOU PLAY THIS TRACK IN THE PRESENCE OF SNOW!
