Ehh, it is what it is -- actually, I feel more for the Baltimore city/county crew, they've gotten screwed on snow more than most this year.

I wonder if the UHI effect, due to more growth in the corridor, is playing a role, or if climate warming is pushing the fail zone farther north. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even buying that. Currently 34/32, mixed snow/rain. It’s an absolute joke they left the cities and low elevation areas a warning as long as they did.

You're only a few miles to the west, but glad to see you cash in more in situations like this. Yup. I’m west of the fall line at 325’ or so, which definitely has made a difference in these kinds of events in the past. I’ve mentioned this in discussions on here with H20, with 12/5/09 being one event that really sticks out as one that produced here but not so much in your neck of the woods. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s probably bad luck, but if there’s a way to fail or come up short, we find it, every time. And I’ve got almost 400 feet of elevation in a wooded area. Doesn’t matter.

We're stuck at maybe an inch. Same. This second band has been really disappointing. Thought it would thump, but it's just light snow with big flakes.

But big globs of snow are falling off things of course in the time of lighter rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not piling up hot and heavy but def approaching 2" here. Might be more. Still slackin and chillin in bed.

Kind of the southern tip of Parr’s Ridge. It only gets better as you drive north an 32. Just now, North Balti Zen said: Something is off here.

Yup - can relate to the same thing. Used to live in W. Spfd near Old Keene Mill and Rolling and saw the effects you are talking about there. Now we're at 385' asl just NW of Vienna. Even though Tyson's is near 500' they often get reduced by the heat island effect. A little further to the east and Falls Church often gets 2-3" when we get 4-5". Just little to the west and a little higher and away from the concrete helps a lot, especially when on the margins. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
