I was curious if my location in Ellicott City would be any colder/snowier since it's a bit northwest of him (I'm just north of 40/south of 70 in western EC), but it seems like it's been basically the same. I think you have to have done a little better than me. I'm now at 17" for the season and I'd wager you're more like 20"? But the bigger difference has been between us and Sykesville area. You've definitely done better than your old house in Elkridge though I'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomeguyfromTakomaPark Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Ice is accreting nicely on trees today but not at all on other surfaces which is nice. It's not slippery at all for walking around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m kinda hoping today’s snow was enough to withstand the warm days this week and make a run at a month. Maybe we get some next weekend. After that I’m done. Cant complain.

jayyy Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 5” on the dot. Looks like that’ll be all she wrote as a slight snow / sleet mix is all that remains overhead. Helluva morning. Think there will be some 6-7” reports to my west and east in the higher elevated areas like Thurmont or PSU’ville 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baltosquid Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 As quickly as it switched back to snow, changing to sleet/rain now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've definitely done better than your old house in Elkridge though I'd say. Yeah, I edited my last post to add that I definitely am in a much better spot than Elkridge. I need to get a snowboard and start keeping more careful track. I just do the old eyeball. Might as well slant stick lol. I don't think I'm over 20. I'd have to go back and try to remember each event. I'm guessing I have like 18? I agree it does seem like literally going just across 70 a few miles to my northwest seems to make a world of difference. Seems like the one poster from Sykesville has reported snow when I've had mix or rain more than a few times this year. I think Sykesville, and especially once you get into Eldersburg, seems like a definite step up in the snow game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've definitely done better than your old house in Elkridge though I'd say. The gradient of total seasonal snowfall between laurel/elkridge, ellicott city, sykesville, and taneytown is actually pretty mind blowing this winter. Ranges from about 15” to 50+“ within a 40 mile span. I know it’s colder up north, but that seems like way wider of a discrepancy than usual. (It definitely is based on all of the animosity received this season) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lot of compaction so the last band didn’t add any depth even though it was puking snow/sleet for 30 mins. But since I didn’t clear the area I can’t get a perfect measurement and I don’t want to guess and inflate so the final depth of 5.5 was what I recorded. It was very likely 6 had I done it correctly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think most people along (once you get a bit farther west than me) and north of 70 have had a nice winter and are either at or above climo with a month to go.

I think largely due to the fact that the cities and 95 corridor didn't have 1 pure snowstorm this year. Every single one has mixed. If we had a uniform 4-7" storm once even, that would have smoothed some of these gradients. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have about 12-15” depth now and it’s THICK with about 5” of that being solid ice and likely 3” a qpf content. I also tend to hold “cooler” temps here. If it’s 50 in Westminster I’ll be 45. Maybe.

Our only shot at a clean event was wave 2 of the Feb 10-12 timeframe, and that one completely clipped us. Final maps for the year will be pretty telling. Payback for Jan 11-13 2019 maybe?

ece Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 The last heavy burst changed to snow after it had been sleeting in Rosedale. Now it's down to a light drizzle. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It fell between like 4-6am and melted on non snow surfaces by 8am. It was a quick thump band from the “cutter” kind of similar to today but MUCH weaker and not as cold. It got really warm that afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
