But I can testify it was something else. We were below zero for about 60 hours ... bottom at -26 The Jan 1985 event actually did drop several inches of snow in some areas of northern/central Maryland east of the mountains. With @Stormfly getting 6-7" in 40-45mins and @CAPE getting 4" in ~45mins. CAPE was living west of the bay at the time though IIRC. But your point still stands about how uncommon something like that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But your point still stands about how uncommon something like that is. Yes I was in Carroll county then. Instant whiteout when that hit, with rapid temp drop and flash freeze. Only event that was close to that, although not as dramatic, was the mid Feb convective snow in 2015. That was over 3" in about the same amount of time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterWxLuvr Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Wow didn’t realize that happened here in 85. Seems it’s very hard to get even a strong cold front to blast through the mountains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris21 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 2 hours ago, George BM said: Yeah. Our standards are pretty low here in general. Once in a while we luck into more legit convective snow showers like on February 9, 2017, ... April 9, 2016 from NVA into SMD, ...and, of course, the favorite recent convective snow event in these parts... February 14, 2015. I'd love more than anything to experience a January 25, 1985 event here. Did you mean April 9, 2006? In Ridge, MD (a couple miles north of point lookout) there was 4-5 slushy inches in a short time period with crazy heavy snow. It was unbelievably cold for April also so piles and patches of it could be seen for 4 more days making it a real unusual landscape for far Southern Maryland in mid April.

I don't remember an April snow event in 2006. Do you mean 2007? It snowed during the early morning hours on April 7, 2007 and IIRC areas to the south got more snow than DC proper. I'm not entirely sure if anyone saw rates like that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No he’s correct- April 9, 2016 had snow showers that went through central Calvert. I got 1.4” here. Quite an amazing event! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WEATHER53 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 The 1985 event is my wind chill record. Walking around at 1am with -2F and 25-30 still sustained with gusts to 40 after stronger winds in the daylight. That was old scale and I think it was -50 in peak gusts . I know gusts don’t count but when they hit you they do, 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
