MBY Snow totals Winter 2024-2025

11/21/2024: T (A brief gusty rain/graupel shower around 6pm.)

11/22/2024: T (Flurries/light wet snow fell between 10am and 11:45am before mixing with and changing to light rain by 12:30pm.)

12/01/2024: T (Flurries off and on during the 4pm and 5pm hour.)

12/05/2024: T (Mixed light rain/snow between 4:30-5am w/ another brief light rain//snow mix between 7:30-7:40am.)

12/15/2024: T (A few ice pellets starting around 11:30am, then mixing with and changing to an off and on drizzle of rain/snow (intensified briefly into a light rain/snow mix during the 1pm hour). This lasted until after 3pm when precip again intensified into a light rain/snow mix before changing to all rain by 3:40pm.)

12/20/2024: T(A drizzle of rain/snow (8:30am-9am). A period of light snow between 10:30-11:15am, briefly approaching moderate intensity between 10:35am and 10:50am. Flurries continuing until midday. A few more flakes in the 6pm hour based on radar returns.)

12/24/2024: 0.1" (Light sleet started around 6:30am occasionally mixing with freezing rain through about 9am or so (more IP than ZR). Precip was very light but below freezing temps and a cold ground allowed for whitening of hard surfaces. Was originally going to call it a trace but with all of the 0.1" reports immediately surrounding me and taking into account sleet pellets piled at least two pellets high in depth... a tenth of an inch is the final measurement I went with making it the first measurable white stuff of the season for me.)

1/03/2025: 0.2" (Brief light rain/snow/graupel shower around 2pm. Heavy snow associated with a developing snow squall between 2:50pm-3:15pm with a brief brake in intensity to light snow between 3:00pm and 3:05pm. A second snow squall from 4:13pm to 4:25pm. Snow was light to moderate with the second squall until 4:22pm when rates briefly became as heavy as during first squall. Peak snowfall rates from both squalls in the 1-2"/hr range.)

Gonna change my total 7.5".  In terms of DC, I was in a really good spot for catching bands.  Pretty far south.  But 8" seems high.  You do have to measure.  That matters most.  But with drifty storms I'll sometimes adjust.  You'd think us UHI-ers would want every 0.1" we can get.  But we know were always going to lose the regional battle so who cares.

These were the reports I personally considered to have some relevance in addition to my own actual measurements which is the most important factor.  Its also crucial only to use reports after the storm was fully complete.
