Look, I know you got a thing with Mappy, that's why you're all over this.  Just relax man.  We're working this out. 

Every year the passive aggressives have to come out for winter. This is why tropical weather is better. 
 

To make this a weather obs for this thread

33.3° 187’

I got you. You’re right.
Sorry, It’s just almost like sometimes it seems like she’s jumps at the chance to create issues. Then if she doesn’t like what you have to say back, she “edits” you. It’s bs man. People don’t like that. It’s not cool

I’m not passive aggressive I say exactly what I mean. You of all people should know that. Or learn what the phrase actually means brother

Goddamn you have an ax to grind. One person seems to cause you great angst. It’s too bad. She’s a great person and friend.

22/19 in McHenry. 
 

and here in Arlington, enough brine to keep the roads from a 3 foot storm. 

Question for you and everyone/anyone else that cares to respond: Do you think I should enjoy this one in Westminster or head out to Deep Creek? 
 

We were gonna drive out tonight and check this one out there. There’s this weird thing about tracking the snow for my house and then experiencing the storm elsewhere lol

I’m at 36/18 in Mt. Pleasant. I have about 200 feet of elevation and am right next to rock creek park which may explain the difference?

i'd imagine right there, but the most intense UHI in the entire city is actually Columbia Heights/Petworth area, so just a few blocks east from you really.

Alright yall.  No need for hot towers in this here thread.    About to be puking snow in less than 24 hours.  Let's all calm down.

Or rain, depending on location. Hopefully the track is just mega wrong, and rewards everyone nicely.

The school closings are already rolling in...

I’d stay where you are since you’ll do well too.

How much snow is on the ground right now in Deep Creek?

No idea. I’m heading up there at 5a tomorrow for the storm. I’ll let you know. But they got about 5-6” from Monday’s storm.

No joke, I'm rooting for the rain- hopefully I can get to 80" for the year to go along with my 90" from 2018. Only need about 3.5" more.

If you're gonna fail, you might as well fail big.  I'd be happy to see a severe thunderstorm warning at this point. 

Or maybe a winter derecho with 8000j/kg?

Not Hoco.  We're toughing it out.  Well, schools are closed, but virtual will go on!

I am giving my kids off tomorrow for the storm.  It is not fair to them that they should be in their virtual school while it is snowing outside.

Is it a nicer experience out there for the snow? I haven’t been up there in years and never experienced a snow there.

Feels like you should be good there in Westminster? I would stay. Course I am cruising past you to Emmitsburg in the AM.

Thanks. @DDweatherman posted a similar plot. 

So even with good rates, no enough space for it to go back to snow again before getting to the surface? (I'm grasping at straws, I hate sleet)

Unfortunately snow growth (crystallization) can only happen in the DGZ and once it melts under there the rain can only freeze into sleet.  That deep of a cold layer just guarantees sleet v freezing rain.
