Herb@MAWS Posted February 17, 2024 Share Posted February 17, 2024 Columbia: Haven’t measured but looks like approx 2.5” snow. Best rates a bit further north of me —again! Not too bad a week for region from S Pa to Harrisburg area. Whether it was 2” or it had been 4” it still looks nice this morning. Either way it’ll all be a memory in a few days. And no big issues with shoveling or roads today, just to ease the “pain”. Next! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted February 17, 2024 Share Posted February 17, 2024 1.0” snow. 0.12” precip (not a ratio, some was rain). Just a debacle from the global models. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dailylurker Posted February 17, 2024 Share Posted February 17, 2024 I'm recording this as 1 inch for my total. That brings me up to 12" for the season. Most of that 12" was high quality, long lasting, cold smoke from Jan, so I can't complain. Most likely this is my season total. Better then the past 10 years lol 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that is just eyeballing it from the window. . Imo the ICON overall. It had the PA death band and lighter precip through our region. The Canadian didn't have a lot of precip anywhere really other than the western higher terrain. Euro trended towards reality its last few runs. GFS was pretty bad, depicting too much precip through the middle of our region, although it did have the PA death band. Side note- before I left work yesterday just for the hell of it I looked at the 12z GEFS members, and there were 6 or 7 that were notably dry through our region- they looked nothing like the op. I thought that was odd being so close to the event. As a forecaster, I would think something like that would have been a bit of a red flag and factored into the forecast. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87storms Posted February 17, 2024 Share Posted February 17, 2024 That was our seasonal bust, but it does look kinda cool out. May have weaseled into an official 2” here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted February 17, 2024 Share Posted February 17, 2024 Still cloudy here and holding at 32. The snow should disappear pretty quickly with a few hours of mid Feb sunshine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlizzardNole Posted February 17, 2024 Share Posted February 17, 2024 Thanks for posting that radar loop. What a crazy band! There are places near/just S of Allentown with over a foot and with places 10-20 miles away on either side with amounts like we got Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Painful to be just on the outside lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling that was our last snowfall of the year. I am no Met. But these last two snows to me are like what we get in late March Early April. You get that heavy wet snow that by the end of the day is gone. I am not a subscriber to that furry hormone driven woodchuck and his shadow. But for those who are he agrees with your last sentence as do I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RevWarReenactor Posted February 17, 2024 Share Posted February 17, 2024 Might have been okay. If it stuck to the street. Once again another half a storm with no street stickage. This never use to be something so consistent. Yawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup - bust here too just NW of Vienna. Right at an inch. Driveway totally melted last night - even the stepping stones by our deck melted. Went out for a feeble attempt at a Jebwalk around 0200 and it was coming down nice, until the sleet started mixing in. At that point it was over. Big disappointment around here. Congrats to those who scored 4+. Amazing with today's computing power how most the models missed it until the retraction started a few hours from the start. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillvilleWx Posted February 17, 2024 Share Posted February 17, 2024 2.3” here in 5N Frederick Same as last storm. That’s kind of a weird coincidence. This snow is much fluffier though compared to the last one. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that some of our classic ways to get snow like a -nao or a Nino have failed lately have lead at times to comments like “maybe what we need is something else”. But there is absolutely no evidence that Nina’s neutral winters or positive NAOs are becoming more snowy. We are just getting less snow because what does produce snow is working less. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
