osfan24 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 This seems like a serious overperformer north of us. Saw some reports over almost 10 inches in NYC area and places in New England are going to go over a foot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And usually I’m leery of the ASOS precip totals in snowfall, but that was almost dead on with mine (2.8”/0.20). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GATECH Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Seems everyone in the forum is happy this week! Congrats everyone! 2.5” of fresh powder here in Ft. Hunt, Va this morning. It was a beautiful falling snow, at least when I woke up at 3am, too bad it wasn’t during the daytime. On to the next one, may it be a Miller A hecs! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a related note, did you see BWI apparently revised their Monday total down to 6.0”?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clskinsfan Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Windy with blowing snow on 25 MPH winds out here in Winchester. My snowboard is pretty much cleaned off by the wind. Measured 5.3 on my car. So I am going with that. Probably had more if I had measured throughout the night. Just a perfect winter day out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmlwx Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Looks like a 4" total here in Colesville, MD. Perhaps some compaction. Very happy with the result given some of the modeling of that screw zone. Nice fluffy - easy to shovel snow. Pretty! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxdude64 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 4.0 on the money here, which was what I had at 11pm last night, must have stopped shortly after I went to bed, still a win. Much 'fluffier' snow, 0.26 on 4.0 is about 15/1 ratio. Currently 16.7/10.0 with a NNW at 7 gusting 22 wind, starting to blow the snow around. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2O Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 21 minutes ago, MN Transplant said: Another factor in the model discussion is the ratios. This was a very high ratio storm around here for us. None of the models really do that well, even using Kuchera. DCA/IAD/BWI were all under .25” of precip. The GFS was by far the worst model in this regard. I don’t think any model will ever be able to nail down ratios all that well. It really feels it is just too much to ask a model to know how much microclimates and more affect ratios. They do a hell of a job just to get as close as they do already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poolz1 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 6.2" on the ground .41" liquid. 22/15 with a gusty NW wind. Definitely exceeded my expectations. .41" liquid is on the very high side of any model run for mby. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowCane Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Looks like we got a nice little band set up while I was sleeping! Stayed up to watch the start but had to call it a night at 1 am. Measured between 4.5 - 5” in Gaithersburg near Rio. It varies as it’s a bit wind blown. Beautiful out there! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
