winterymix Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Forecasting snow for DC that abuts the Potomac is forecasting swamp snow. Good freaking luck: swamp snow during global worming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVclimo Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Temp shot up to 41 briefly, then the wind came up and it's back down to 36. Hopefully back below freezing around sunset. Most of the 1.7" that fell this morning has melted, leaving snow depth where it started before the morning's snowfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BWI recorded 5.8" but the high that day was 38 and the low was 30 and if I recall most of the snow fell with temps right around 32 degrees... Oh I remember that one! It was in the 60s the day before and I was out and about doing errands with short sleeves. I heard WSW on the radio and laughed thinking no way. Damn if it didn't snow 7 inches in Germantown the next afternoon with the most beautiful, photogenic snow. It was the only event of that winter (and 1998 was a shutout). With this train wreck of a winter, I will treat all threats going forward with total doubt like that one. I don't care if we have a gulf baby with a perfectly placed high to the north. I am going to doubt all the way until it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bodhi Cove Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 41 minutes ago, CAPE said: Mount Holly did pretty well as usual. They were wrong on their counties along I-95 with the WSW, but here and further north they went with advisories, which mostly worked out. Over in DE they may have been off with the advisory, as some places probably hit min warning criteria. Mount Holly is much better than Sterling when it comes to those who live 12-15 miles across the Bay from Rock Hall up to the Elk River. Their discussions are better as well, imho 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 No sun today so far. Cloudy and 34. Probably the highest temp of the day post snow(was 37 this morning when it was raining). Looking forward to it all freezing solid tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2O Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 As usual got crap for marginal events. Whatever. Snow fell and for a couple hours it looked nice. Wish it was more. Just can’t get breaks. Ever. congrats CAPE. At least it snowed well there 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCAsnowhole Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Snow quickly disappearing in McLean but sure was beautiful earlier in the day while it was falling. Temps above freezing + tree cover resulted in some stark borders between a winter wonderland and average wet forest! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got in on the good banding and that was the difference in overcoming the mild surface today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KAOS Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I just went out and measured... currently have 0" of snow. Awesome. This place sucks... I have not had decent snowfall for 5 years now.

ThePhotoGuy Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 What a bad snow “storm” in Annapolis. Maybe a half inch or so just on the grass. All gone already. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T. August Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I don’t know if anyone is familiar with Rt 155 in Harford county... but the cutoff was dastardly. On my way home from Darlington, you could see it go from 4, to 3, to 2. 2” to 0” could be witnessed from a stationary viewpoint. I’ve never seen it so severe. 0” at home lmfao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ovechkin Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 At the end of the day the immediate metros simply don’t do well anymore in marginal setups. Cold has simply been lacking 2 years running now. DCA hasn’t been below 24 this year and didn’t get below 22 last year. Highs under 40 let alone freezing are few and far between. Set ups, storm tracks have not been the issue. It’s really been all about temperatures. Advertised cold doesn’t materialize as projected, we blow past high temperature projections and bust high in lows amost nightly. Get some legit cold with these tracks and it would be a different story. Then we can talk mid levels, rates, etc... until then we sre simply doo damn toasty. End of story. Will see what happens later this week.... maybe a little bit of actual cold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dallen7908 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I should take the spotters course. No reports from P.G. county for this storm and at least one other this winter. Of course, if I take the course they'll probably tell me not to bother reporting amounts from a typical P.G. storm, i.e., 0.1 or 0.3". https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=NWS&issuedby=LWX&product=PNS&format=CI&version=1&glossary=0&highlight=off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of family back in that area. (Winchester area my home for 47 years) My sisters ( just south of front royal around 1500" ) said she had almost 7" on the ground at her house today??? Below average snow year here in the lower elevations of OR but the forecast changed dramatically in the past 48 hours. We were just to get glancing blow from the artic air and now they are forecasting it building back west. That's when we get the best lower elevation snows here. Thursday through next Sunday single digit lows & mid teen highs with snow around everyday. If it happens?? would be the coldest snowiest part of the winter here. Cheers from OR.

wolfpackwxDC Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Not that it matters or is in any way official, but between the rain at the start (0.2 inches) and all the snow that gathered in the rain gauge and then melted (0.60 inches), we got a total of 0.80 inches liquid out of this storm in Arlington. Fairly in line with forecasts if I recall correctly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
