North Balti Zen Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 2.5" in my part of Balt City as of 1:50 pm. Snowboard cleared. Flakes have backed off now to the finer ones. Would like to get the bigger flakes to return/hang on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the bigger flakes have happened today, it’s a respectable 0.5”/hr or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDstorm Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I don’t have to squint anymore to see the flakes, so I guess that’s a win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WEATHER53 Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Gusty winds to 25 now and switching directions back and forth with blowing snow. Is this indicative of something occurring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought the NAM killed that idea, lol Man, you run yourself ragged with specifics. Look at the time stamp on the delayed band and consider many model runs are still in front of you. That "band" will change locations and intensity every six hours. The only thing you should be worrying about is whether it stays within 50-75 miles of you or turtle heads back up to PA where the most probable climo location is. I understand your need for specifics. I really do. But we're like years away from NWP to be able to pinpoint this kind of stuff that far out in time. If it's still in existence with a reasonable proxity in 24-36 hours, then you can sweat all over the 30 pixels on the map that matter to you. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattie g Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Been a fun day - neighborhood kids sledding and parents enjoying beverages - and I’ve barely measured since mid-morning. My daughter’s math lesson can wait. Would love a little something to top things off tomorrow, but if it doesn’t happen I’ll just set my sights on next weekend’s MECS. 4 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePhotoGuy Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 ~2 inches. Very tiny flakes. Seems to be more melting/compacting than accumulating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowmagnet Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I'm enjoying the snow day, but don't like hearing rain/sleet outside my window while it's showing blue on radar. I did take the new Australian Shepherd pup out for a Jebwalk in the snow and he is loving it. It seems like we have been stuck at around 2" for the past several hours. The roads are cleared pretty well in my neighborhood, so it is definitely less than expected. I agree with Bob Chill about the Miller B PTSD. I really hoped models were onto something, but I 'm not holding my breath for part 2 of the storm in my neck of the woods (Fairfax). But I am optimistic for the rest of February. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonjon Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 8.1" total so far Changed to sleet and freezing rain for a couple hours when the rates slowed. But as its picked up again its all snow. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AACOUNTYMD Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Does this dry slotting mean that the low will set up a bit more south than people thought yesterday? And thus, more potential for snow tomorrow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 1.9”, 0.2” the last hour. But flakes and rates increased in the last 20mins or so, so hopefully will pile up faster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diatae Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 La Plata - Swinging between moderate snow, to light snow, to heavy sleet, then back again. Temps still holding at 31. Whooped the 9yo something good with these snow balls. Time for a nap. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wanna know what to expect/not expect, that's all...not sure why you're condescending. Now, what I didn't know was what you said about the proximity--50-70 miles of here...so it can go anywhere in that zone? I gotcha...so that's the possibility. See I wasn't sure how far or how close ya had to be to it (because I'm still learning) I had assumed since the NAM was showing what it did, that getting more than an inch or two from the coastal was kinda off the table, so what the globals showed was a tad surprising. But if the possibility is still there, great. All the more reason 6-10" was a good call, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just enjoy what is falling now and see if we can catch some of the bands over the next 48 hours. We have a chance at that. No guarantees. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowenOutThere Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 In western fairfax county we finally got non pixie dust snow flakes and they are coming down at a good rate if this keeps up we might make 3'' of snow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gopper Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Towson: pixie with a few fluffs occasionally mixed in. Just took a snow drive! It was snowing hard in Fork and Glen Arm! Saw 3 accidents. Definitely slick in spots and people are not expecting it. Drive with care but not 10 MPH like some do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
