Might be more. Still slackin and chillin in bed. Might all melt before I decide to take on the day and start moving Yeah, MoCo half of the deathband went out on a solo tour today.

Feels like I have to go measure every half hour to make sure that I am able to report the max new snow depth. Both the HRRR and NAM take us to 40 this afternoon.

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. It’s probably bad luck, but if there’s a way to fail or come up short, we find it, every time. It’s been snowing great here all morning but my temps have sucked. Interesting seeing the streets caving in photos well south but nothing but wet here. No complaints though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 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...

Was pulling for a more amplified coastal so we had a region wide celebration. This seems pretty elevation dependent. Seems to be verifying as the most likely outcome for the setup leading in. Inline with my thoughts. A sprinting storm with much of the area at or above freezing rarely if ever produces anything "big" in these parts. I think I've joined @Ian with putting climo in front of models with all events and adjusting accordingly. Makes me feel smart but climo has been around many thousands of years longer than me. I aint that smart. My memory is good enough tho 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lived in Baltimore in the early 2000s, and I remember a few small events back then when Baltimore would end up with 1 to 3 or even 3 to 5 inches, while very little fell in DC. Now, our fate seems more closely connected than had been the case. Maybe just coincidence since it seems like we get fewer smallish snow events in general now. But I do wonder if something else is at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cigrgd Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I think if this had happened overnight we could have picked up 3 or so inches here. But once daylight hit we were done. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maestrobjwa Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Good morning...Well Winter, Baltimore's 5 year-long winter storm warning drought doesn't end today either (this is barely an advisory, lol). But hopefully with the window(s) of opportunity coming up, we will. 5" minimum bar set for each event the rest of the winter...we oughta be due! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve25 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Yeah not going to happen here in Parkville for this one. Barely a slushy coating on cold surfaces. I didn't expect much of anything from this one, so no real disappointment. Happy for anyone getting accumulations of any inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
