yoda Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Just now, RDM said: 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. Hello old neighbor! I used to live in that exact area until I moved to Fairfax a few months ago... snowing pretty well here right now 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeg0305 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Wow. Back to some of the largest-sized snowflakes I can ever remember seeing here (N. central Baltimore county). Still getting hit hard.How far up are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baltimorewx Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Won’t even see a half inch. Total fail. Had good rates for about 20 mins. That’s been it 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...
Solo2 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Although we won't end up with what PSU has...3rd warning even here now as well and snow picking back up after a lull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You win some you lose some more. One wins some? just kidding. Balt city prob still paying piper for avoiding the killer dry slot Jan 2016 and racking up the 29 inches.

real Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 10 minutes ago, mattie g said: 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. 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...

BFZ Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Thought we were done up here in Frederick but probably the heaviest I've seen all morning. Started as snow all the way though. Hard to tell how much we've gotten as we still had some snow pack left. 4"-5" maybe? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
