EastCoast NPZ Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Complete bust here. Not even an inch. Snow came in heavy for about 30 min and then petered out. Not a flake on any hard surface. Forecast for 4 to 8. Major disappointment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psuhoffman Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 4.3” total based on new snow on the deck since I cleared it at 3am. 4” depth. My driveway melted overnight! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herb@MAWS Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 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 Share Posted February 17 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 Share Posted February 17 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...

CAPE Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 5 minutes ago, Imgoinhungry said: Which model did the best? Pretty big bust… id say less than an inch in Frederick. 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 Share Posted February 17 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 Share Posted February 17 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 Share Posted February 17 Thanks for posting that radar loop. What a crazy band!

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...
