WxUSAF Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Most of this N/W of 95 in MD is probably the ULL. I think 2" with the ULL is possible with good ratios. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psuhoffman Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 8 minutes ago, mappy said: some better dendrites now, but still pretty paltry when not good rates. think the ULL could help us later? QPF looks pretty lame and the energy is deamplifying as it passes and starts to re-amp a little too late for us... but at the same time it doesn't take much to get a couple inches from these types of things...if we get any banding at all we could get a nice surprise but I am not expecting too much. Maybe another 1-2". 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris78 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 13 minutes ago, psuhoffman said: Yea north of DC up into southern PA got stuck in between bands...the 85h associated band (which I never thought we were in play for much from) actually shifted southeast a bit and the 7h band shifted WAY north (which isn't uncommon recently, models really really really struggle and seem to place this way too far south or miss it completely) and left northern MD in between. Oh well. Happens, we still got some snow. What's your thoughts on round 2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weathercoins Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Picked up very nicely in Takoma Park, moderate to heavy, although starting to slow down now (was outside for it). Prior shoveling hard to find again. Guessing around 5.5” but need to go measure again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six years of being wrong with that thought and counting... Yep...I mean I'm up over 4 inches, but that's still the same 5" "barely WSW" wall I've been running into the last 6 years, so you know I get it. This has just not been a good zone to be in the last 6 years, smh (and I feel more bad for you because you moved to see more!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 5.25" here in North Bethesda. The band about an hour ago had some of the biggest snowflakes I've ever seen; the biggest were 2-3 inches across. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Currently very light pixie dust in Burke. Folks just to he south and east have done better, but not going to complain about already having 6". Need some of that fluff lovin' later today... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six years of being wrong with that thought and counting... Over time, being north and west pays off more often than not. Having spent a decade living about 10 minutes north of mappy, more often than not, I received more snow on average than those on the wrong side of the fall line. Especially in marginal situations and with coastals. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthArlington101 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Girlfriend measured 5” with measuring tape (lol) - guessing with compaction my spot on H & 1st NW in DC might’ve hit 6”. Tricky to say. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmk Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 I am always skeptical relying on wraparound, it usually never gives as much as expected. I am just shy of 7" so we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87storms Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Just took a 30 min loop thru the hood. 3” on the dot in multiple spots. Light snow with occasional dendrites throughout the journey. No sleet. Very wintry…like a winter version of those Atlantic misty days we get. Waiting on round two now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially in marginal situations and with coastals. It really is true, especially given the changes in our climo we have seen. I obviously had a big difference going from Baltimore to Westminster near McDaniel. But with recent climo, my 2021 move to Carroll Valley/Ski Liberty area has already shown a big difference. 2 warning level storms (6" & 5.5") while in one Westminster had a dusting. Its all about the long game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
