Even that was almost too cold for me when the polar vortex settled. I'd tolerate it for the snow though. NYC was significantly easier than here in DC. Absolutely. Downstate New Yorker born and raised here. I’m from a town called Stony Point, NY. Lived there from childhood through college, when I went off to Buffalo (it was a snowy and cold state school and far away from my hometown) Saw some absolutely incredible nor’easters over the years living in the NW NYC suburbs. PD 1 and 2, 96, Boxing Day, the infamous Christmas storm that featured heavy rain to over a foot of snow within roughly 6 hours… the list is long. I miss the snowier winters up there, but the snow was almost a given. The chase from living down here is part of the fun! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In New York, there were plenty of misses. For me it's just a little too tough down here. Ellicott City was manageable because topologically it made for good rates and dynamics. I friggin' hate this DC snow hole stuff. It really is a swamp of sinking air. I guess it's better than Raleigh or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayyy Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 It’s too bad we didn’t have a big ole HP stationed off the coast of Maine to slow things down or anything to capture the low off the coast. This would have been absolutely epic if it were a longer duration event. Extremely satisfied, however. No complaints. Warning level snowfall verified with great rates. Been a long time since we’ve seen 2 warning level snow events within 5 days in these parts. Crazy part? The pattern looks even juicier from MLK day on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just glad she gets to telework and wake up to a couple inches. We're going to look for places in the city this summer--NOT looking forward to it come winter. Being up here in CC is like day and night. We're probably going to double that total tonight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I friggin' hate this DC snow hole stuff. It really is a swamp of sinking air. I guess it's better than Raleigh or something. That’s true. However, I was typically far enough northwest to see frozen precipitation during marginal events. Snow to ice was relatively common in those setups. 287/87 is typically the battle zone in that area. There were multiple events each winter where nyc and LI would be rain as it snowed 6+ in my neck of the woods. Elevation really takes off once you get 40+ miles away from NYC. New England usually did fair better 8/10 winters however. It’s crazy how much 10-20-30 miles means down here in Maryland / DC. Ellicott city versus DC versus Manchester in such a small geographic radius. It can be frustrating for sure, but at least it’s fun to track! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve25 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Parkville(NE Baltimore). Decided to sleep through this one, expecting a 1-2 inch event. My brain must be in tune because I randomly woke up at 1 AM and it seemed to be right around when it started, then randomly woke up about 15 minutes ago go heavy snowfall. I haven't gotten out of bed but just by eyeing it out the window, I'd guess there's a solid 3+ out there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayyy Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Looking like 6” is going to be the final tally as things wrap up NWS Taunton / Boston upped their totals to 8-12”. No surprise there. The storm looks awfully impressive now that the coastal has taken over. Heavy snow spanning from Boston to Baltimore 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not in one of the NW spots, but I'm JUST west of 95 in NE Baltimore and I've felt very fortunate over the years because I'm usually barely NW of the battle zone for precip types in bigger storms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny, when I was in NYC, the north shore of Long Island seemed to cash in on everything. If you snoop around the NYC thread you'll hear the old timers talking about how different things are now. It might have just been a lucky stretch of years, but damn, they would absolutely crush us 3/5 times because of Lows heading right over the benchmark. The difference in geographical significance is absolutely true. In the city, the dynamics were really tight because you were on the water, and Harlem (where I was) would often do better than Brooklyn. But overall, you'd have to go really far inland on marginal events. That blizzard in 2017 was absolutely soul crushing. It was supposed to be the storm of my lifetime, but within 24 hours the track tucked in just enough to turn us to sleet after about 7 inches. You had to go at least 40 miles inland to see all snow. Here in MD it can be a matter of being in the District or being where I am. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wetbulbs88 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Slowing down now. Just some light snow. I'm going to catch a few hours before work tomorrow. Great storm--hopefully we'll do it again soon! For now, time for NY and Boston to take over. ETA: Just measured 3.9" out there. I'll call it 4" since it's still snowing lightly! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mordecai Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 We’re pretty much done here but it looks like we’ve tied Monday’s event in terms of snowfall! This one takes the cake though. Night time and better rates 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here in MD it can be a matter of being in the District or being where I am. Long Island is a very tricky place to forecast. I’d argue one of the most difficult in the northeast. South shore and east end (forks) versus the north shore in Nassau county. I remember several storms where the north shore managed to stay all snow, while the Hampton got cold rain and sleet. When Long Island manages to stay all snow, they get pummeled. It is ideally placed for bands off the Atlantic from benchmark lows. You can see it with this storm. Those deep greens and yellows off the shoreline heading due north for the island. Incredible. Hell, I moved only 25 mins north of my old house here in Maryland and the difference is night and day. DC is a crazy phenomenon of its own. So, so unlucky with dry air. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthArlington101 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Still some flakes flying, but need to get some sleep. Calling it 3" in my corner of Arlington, measurements were less than ideal though so I'll evaluate others' reports in the morning. Fun storm. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like cold, broken by being on the warm side of the Sunday storm, into some days of normal temps in the 40’s before the pattern/cold reloads late next weekend as the MLK day storm forms. The 17th-30th has the potential to be an incredible period if the chips fall correctly. 00z Gfs was one of the weeniest runs I’ve ever seen. EPS mean looks tasty as well.

CAPE Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 28.5 with moderate snow here currently. I'm guessing it started after 1am. Decided not to lose sleep over this one after the big storm earlier in the week lol. Pretty out there, looks like 2" so far just eyeballing. The 2-4" forecast looks good for here unless I get in on some meso banding, but that looks like it will be east of here per most guidance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
