I think just the 3rd day this year with sun in the higher Cascades? My kid had semester break today so nice skiing in this morning on a rather balmy day. Pretty warm season out here but snow pack is pretty normal above 6000' . LOVE spring skiing out here from late March into mid May. Photo of the summit ski bowls today. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osfan24 Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 This is random but does anyone remember that really isolated snow event that hit west of Philly I believe? I want to say it was a decade or more ago possibly. From what I remember, it was some fluke snow band that just sat over a small area and dumped snow. I think there were reports of like 15 inches.

I would prefer SLC, so many great options but might lean Aspen because flights to Denver are a lot cheaper and easier to get last minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just snows randomly like last night. Snow squalls roll through. 6K feet elevation is a great thing. They get a brief warm spell then warning level event by Monday night.

Some areas around Philly got over a foot from that upper level low also. I had just moved into my house here that week. We got 3-4 inches from a small band that developed in southern PA and enhanced as it moved south into our area. Probably the higher hills here helped to squeeze out every bit of liquid possible. Almost like our own version of upslope. This occurred late at night into the very early morning hours. LWX played catch up and they issued a WWA. By that time our snow was ending. They didn't think the band would weaken as it moved south so they put Baltimore County in the WWA. As it turned out the band would weaken. The band stayed strong for a few miles south of us. The 3 inch line made it to about Cape Horn Rd. Once you got south of the hampstead walmart accumulations were much lighter. Maybe only an inch or so. That abrupt drop off shows how the first ridge weakened the band south of here. By the time it got to Reisterstown it fizzled and there was only a dusting. The band actually regenerated a bit and parts of AA county got a decent coating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If areas that get decent qpf or rates can overcome a warm column maybe a sneaky dusting or minor accumulation If we can get some banding to develop up here we might have an outside chance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

showmethesnow Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Looking over the latest guidance for this weekend I think there might be a legit shot for some in here to see a coating to an inch tonight through N Va and central MD. Rates will play a big part and elevation may be the key (read into that the favored jackpot spots). I am still looking over things but may try to post something in a little bit in a devoted thread so as to keep it out of the mid and long range thread.

That’s cool because we probably punt the first half of Feb. familiar territory to punt 2 weeks at a time. Still have a dim candle lit for late Feb.
