Eskimo Joe Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Just now, jayyy said: Nice burst of moderate snow. Columns are definitely cooling based on snowflake size. Looks like 850s are crashing toward 95 This is very good to see. It seems there is a bit of a residual warm layer but it isn't big and is getting purged pretty quickly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhode Islander in Balto Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 1 minute ago, VelociChicken said: 5" total to this point with some decent snow coming down 27.3/27 just south of point of rocks. Has anybody seen little string or sticklike snowflakes like this before? They're called "needles" - here's a great resource for snowflake types: http://www.its.caltech.edu/~atomic/snowcrystals/class/class-old.htm#:~:text=This system defines the seven,%2C ice pellets%2C and hail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious as I haven't seen a flake just yet this morning. Precip showers are spotty atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackCat Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Light drizzle here in Arnold. Temp = 32 ; Dew Point = 31. I want the tuck to happen, so we can cash in on some flakes. It's a winter wonderland out there, but would be much better with fat flakes falling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesternFringe Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Lightly snowing, 27 degrees. Expecting little accumulation (maybe an inch) today, but snow tv is awesome after yesterday. Around 7.5 to 8 inches total so far with a little compaction. Not the big, big dog, but this has been an awesome storm! Hoping everybody’s yard up north is a jack zone from the coastal. Here is me and the old lady on our 4 wheeler ride. NW of Staunton. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayyy Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Man... so, so close. Great banding being shot up the 95 corridor in NJ. Best Dynamics are JUST too far NE to swing precip back into our area. Still think my area over to PSU and points north have a shot at 4-6” today My parents in New York proper have already surpassed my 6”, have 7.5” since 11 last night, and are heading for 2 feet by tomorrow morning, no doubt. So jealous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clskinsfan Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 First shovel of today done. 8.1 total for the event. A little over 7 on the ground after compaction. Some respectable 2 foot driveway walls. That is always my bar. Give me 2 foot walls on the driveway and 4 foot mounds at the bottom so they can stick around for a few weeks. Light snow 26 degrees. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say it’s a 80/20 snow/slop mix that is mainly snow under heavier returns. Haven’t had pure snow all morning. My son at mount Saint Mary’s said they’d flipped back entirely to snow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePhotoGuy Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Impressed with the ice accumulation on the trees. Should get interesting if the winds materialize with all the ice on the trees. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErinInTheSky Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Sleetfest in Germantown, pretty significant amounts. So look... the snow totals in this storm, for me at least, suck. Like, I was excited for the Euro models, but then I was like "at least I'll be happy if I break double digits", then the CWG/LWX forecasts came out, and I revised to "at least I'll be happy if I break 6"". Now I'm still sitting at 2" which is under even the "bust" range for CWG. BUT. One thing I do like about this event is the non-stop winter precip for 2-3 days in a row. It keeps the winter storm feeling going for a long time. That's nice. It looks like a beautiful mess outside 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
