Honestly, NYC got a bit unlucky, if you can call it that. It snowed like crazy there for 6 hours or so, but otherwise all that banding pushed inland and they were basically done.

I think much of Arlington (except DCA) is closer to 5.5-6.5”. I’d be surprised if the District was that low. I measured 6.8” here in Chevy Chase and this morning we had more than 4” on the ground WITH compaction and melting. But maybe urban heating did its thing.

Pretty powerful and far reaching but not the most organized precip shield. Outside that mega band, it was pretty spotty. And the mega band itself kept expanding outward minimizing durations.

Philly got "screwed' in a relative sense, but they still picked up 8-10 inches total, their best storm in a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew up in Ellicott City. At least there, we’d get significantly higher totals than surrounding areas. I lived on the top of centennial lane and the lift there compared to surrounding areas was simply a thing of beauty. Really was a great microclimate.

What happened was that basically the entire 95 corridor basically got dry slotted and warm layer.. the heavy snow bands set up to the north and west for just about everyone.. I was surprised by the 20 inch ob up in Frederick County.. but it makes sense given the way the banding set up.. snowing hard now in Baltimore.

The warm layer and mix line will almost always work more NW that what's forecast. It's one of those tested weather rules in these parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can confirm, wind has picked up that "freight train coming at the back of the house" sound over the past 1-2 hours. Snow's done for now (I think). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowtoRain Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Sounds like Salisbury is cashing in again, over 2" already from the current snow band... That would put them at 7 or 8" storm total 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gopper Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Towson: My son and I took a "snow run" for the third night in a row. Not hard snow, just enough to make the run really fun. Despite minimal accumulations the last two days, it has been awesome to see snow falling nearly continuously. Now I need more! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol That map is missing a lot of spotter reports from Calvert and St. Mary’s on Sunday (including mine). Since most of us got very little yesterday and today, we didn’t bother sending in updates. It looks like they didn’t use any of the Sunday reports and just pulled the few Cocarahs obs from the PNS report this morning instead. Most of those were too low (especially for St Mary’s). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One was Sunday, I forget what time, and one was this morning but each one only lasted for about an hour or less. Mostly it's been flurries and very light snow.
