To the naked eye, it does appear that precip is taking a NNE trajectory instead of E or ENE, which is a decent sign. It’s going to be real close. Can probably draw a line straight down the middle of Maryland and everyone to the East has a shot at serious coastal banding if it all comes together properly. I am picking up what you are putting down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seawolf14 Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Just took a JebWalk with the fam around the neighborhood. Snow was kicking good. Once we got to the bay the wind was ripping from the NE and we started getting sleet. Walked home and seems to have switched to liquid. Weather station showing 31° now so maybe some ZR?Shot looking out to Eastern Bay towards St. Michaels:. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After this is all over, it seems that forecast will verify. Granted it will take 48 hours of sporadic light snow to get there, but I wonder why there is so much gloom in this forum. The heavier snow was always going to be further NE. At least it wasn't a complete whiff like 12/30/2000 or 12/26/2010 or countless others. You sure it’ll verify? I’m NW of DC and I think I’ve had 2” tops. I am wondering if I’ll break 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarlet Pimpernel Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Right around 3" total to this point. As @WxUSAF said earlier, it's almost like sand! I posted a couple photos in the banter thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Temp down to 27, coldest of the day. If we get some FZDZ, will certainly make things slick. Still teeny snowflakes for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WEATHER53 Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Just had a quick 1.3 temp drop and unless that’s from sunset then what attributable to? pretty much 31-32 all day but snow was more like a 28/29 drier consistency do it must still be cold up top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MillvilleWx Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I’m not up on my history since I haven’t been tracking snow for that long, but I do know where to find the answer! It appears you are correct.I’ve said this once before, and I will say it again. Please don’t EVER bring these images and disco of that storm in this forum. That was one of the worst Christmases ever watching that storm slip away. This gives me worse PTSD than that other storm that shall not be named. . 2 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalfy Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 4 minutes ago, jayyy said: Don’t worry man. It’s probably far less stressful knowing you’ll rarely see snow than to be teased into believing you’ll get a foot every week, just to have it taken away within 48 hours LOL Yea I'm not going to miss that at all, haha. It was like a never ending set of really convincing mirages. Not to mention all the lost sleep and work productivity, checking models every 6 hours. God, it was torture but so addicting. 2 minutes ago, North Balti Zen said: There can some pretty awesome midwestern blizzards out your way though. Huge wind driven events if you catch the right one. Oh yes, that's something I'm looking forward to experience. Really hoping we can squeeze one event like that before winter ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I was already bummed about the miss...but I had no idea just how close we were to having something, lol) But this is my biggest evidence for why not to expect a big snow outside of our prime climo (mid-Jan through President's Day)...these fluky fails happen more then, lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree - days like today are always disappointing, but it's still enough snow to play and sled and have a snowball fight. The real busts are days like Mar 2013 that just kill your soul. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
