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. Right. Now it's coming back.

T. August Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Precip shut off now. Last band that came through put down .6”. 1.7” measured just now, but it rained and sleeted earlier before I could get a good measurement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kay Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 1 hour ago, T. August said: Measured 1.0 in Havre de Grace after the rain and sleet started so probs a bit more. @Kay what did you get? We are usually within a few tenths lol. 1.5 just now, possibly more due to compaction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clskinsfan Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 25 minutes ago, psuhoffman said: Probably. Not sure what your snow pack is. I was in PA yesterday and around York had way less then me. 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. Pretty incredible year up there for you. You usually do better than us out here. But not usually by this large of a margin. I am not complaining being over climo. Just making an observation. I have around 6 or 7 inches of snowpack. I expect it will be gone, except for the piles at the end of my driveway, by Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're a rate dependent area for sure...but the rates have really mattered this year in all the marginal events. Such a large gradient from PSU land to my land Guidance being wayy too excited with precip hasn't helped either for sure. In some cases it hasn't been close. Most if not all guidance had 0.8-1" QPF with last Thursday's system from the DC metro up through your way, with a fair bit of it falling when the column should've been supportive of at least partly if not mostly snow (4-9am). Instead all that precip with the initial impulse of snow went north of us, and I'm not sure either of our areas got even half as much QPF as most guidance showed.

aldie 22 Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Just made the drive back to Leesburg...poor Leesburg 70 was a mess...15 not so bad. Sykesville looks like about 2" or so Leesburg 0.3. That was definitely some really heavy snow...glad I stayed extra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dailylurker Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 I've got as much ice on the trees now as I did for the event a couple weeks ago. Pretty surprised at the amount of ice on trees. Temp holding around 31. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you said yea I’m typically the max for our area except for far western zones but this year the difference was even more extreme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psuhoffman Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 @HighStakes my 5.5” was definitely low. Now that I’m out clearing and looking around the 5.5 area i typically measure in was a low spot. Wind was unusual with this one so snow drifted it weird ways compared to what I’m used to. The 5.5 areas are compacted down to 4.5 now but I found a general 6-8” of new depth on top of the ice on the other side of my property (downwind) of the ridge which was the opposite side of normal. Even one foot drifts very common on the front side of my house. If I simply take an average of measurements around my property between the board on my driveway, the deck, and the front walk I get 6.5” and that’s without counting the 1 foot drifts. Plus it was likely more since there has been a lot of compaction since 2 hours ago! 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? And that one fringed BWI...lol So we are in a particularly bad drought of warning-criteria snow. 5 years...but we have had scenery snow at least, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see 6.4" from that event in BWI. But yeah, it didn't all fall in a 12hr period like the warning criteria says, so I guess it isn't a true warning event for there. 4.6" for March 21 2018 which is barely off the mark there.

They must've revised that, because I could've sworn the official measurement from that storm was a trolling 4.8", Iol That's kinda how it's gone...everything but 5"!

Mixing, compaction, wind etc. We've had multiple events that compacted immediately. This year also has been the largest spread between our measurements due to the marginal events. I've also been a little lazy this year and missed an inch or so along the way. The first event of the year in December you got 3 and I only got 1-1.5. Then the Feb. 7th event I got 5.5 and you got 6.5 -7.0. That storm became very marginal the last 2 hours. We probably have a 5-6 inch spread between our houses.

Stormfly Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Ditto on the measurements! I will say this though, this is the first time since 2010 that my deck has had over a foot of snow in the middle for the entire month (so far) of February. It's been a weird winter but I'll take it! If severe is weird and we catch a tornado on one of the security cameras I hope it's a tiny one like this! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
