Waiting for the stuff over Baltimore county to rotate through. Winter wonderland outside! Is this a norlun trough or just an outer band from the coastal?

SomeguyfromTakomaPark Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Just had a nice gust blow through! Probably 20-30 mph for a solid 15 seconds, actually had some blowing snow. Really wasn't expecting this today, what a pleasant surprise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2O Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 2 minutes ago, SnowenOutThere said: Also we are over four inches of snow just measuring from the deck with compression and all so probably more around 5''. Either way its warning level advisory. This is why you clean an area every 6 hours. don't guess. That leads to inflated totals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better returns north of us heading our way . Hopefully it does...the stuff up in PA is what has my eye. Hoping that can gain some juice as it heads south.

nw baltimore wx Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Today reminds me of the Wednesday (I think) after the '96 Blizzard that just parked a snow band over the metros all day and gave us all another 4" to freshen up the snow piles. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to look at some maps in more detail. Surely something like this has been off and on the guidance for days so it’s not a total surprise.

TJ3 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Was up at 12 and 3 this morning and was surprised to see what was happening. And still is!!! Nice for McLean/FFX get in on some late bands once in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This stuff matters. Where i take my measurements I make sure to clean off so I can get a good number. Padding to "guess" because of compaction is a totally inaccurate way to tell others what you got.

ovechkin Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Really nice out now.. if only it were just a degree or two colder at the surface. With daylight now and people out and about main roads have probably seen the worst of it unless there are insane rates. But still a nice little event today.

How often do you see it snowing in Richmond, Bar Harbor, and Pittsburgh at the same time? And raining in Boston hee hee. Sorry but with all their superbowls and blizzards, I get a little kick out of that. Nice snow globe effect with fluffy flakes. I love when it's snowing and the grass is completely covered. How about this little typo here LOL: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
