Not for me just north of Baltimore. It was all snow all the time. Can't see where these numbers are coming from in my area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TowsonTownT Posted Tuesday at 03:45 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 03:45 PM 47 minutes ago, 87storms said: Looks like only a coating was added from the ull imby near DT Frederick. Basically 3" and some change, so i was a little surprised by some of the measurements closer to 5" coming out of Frederick County. This can be sugarcoated, but it was a bit of a bust up here. Could barely even see the flakes during the overnight period and hardly snowed during the day lol. With that said, there was a pleasant, effortlessness to this snow. Once it started, it required no work. I just woke up yesterday to snow, and I was able to get in a nice walk (during one of the times there was clearly still light snow falling). Felt very wintry even with 3" and, honestly, there's something to be said about the roads being already cleared (or so it seems). Agreed. I literally used a broom to remove the snow from my sidewalk this morning. Haven't done that in years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hstorm Posted Tuesday at 03:48 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 03:48 PM 20 minutes ago, Terpeast said: Ok that's better. That makes more sense and lines up more closely with what we had here -- I didn't do a final measurement, but we were likely around 6.5 post-ULL. We got a little a bit out of the lull band, but less than you. IAD likely missed that band entirely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

das Posted Tuesday at 03:55 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 03:55 PM I prefer the IEM Mesonet numbers typically vs. those reported into NWS. For example, they reported 7" 4mi to the NE and 7.5" 4mi to the SW of my place and my kid measured 6.5" OTG at the end in Clarksburg but with no "clearing the board". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much snow has fallen in Damascus since around 9am It's going great! Great to hear from you! It looks like there was a 7" report in Damascus when all was said and done. Not a bad storm. I am heading down on Sunday for a couple of weeks. It'll be nice to come to a place that has some real snow. Ha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am super close to that 7.7" reported just northwest of Baltimore and it seems high. I have 6.0" with .52" of liquid. Are all those reports done by the standard snow measuring practice of regularly clearing the board? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The back end snow appears to have "saved" upper Montgomery County. Thanks! I'll go with the 6.5" that was measured by my kid even though it would have likely been 7" using proper measuring methods...

No guarantees, of course but you are supposed to be an actual trained spotter to submit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn’t appear the maker used spotter reports and probably cocoroahs. Then did a very low res interpolation to fill the gaps. No one north of Towson got more than 4”. Not sure where that 6” came from. Anyway, the Bentley Springs report is me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deck Pic Posted Tuesday at 04:11 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 04:11 PM 3 hours ago, MN Transplant said: Yeah, I only tacked on 2.5" from 7am to close yesterday on 0.33" precip. Not even the later snow helped with the ratios (and I didn't get that much from the ULL pass, certainly not 2"). Final, 7.7" on 0.84" precip. The IAD number seems strange, but there is another observer in Sterling Park that has the same 5.1". When everyone fills in the CoCoRahs reports we'll see if that looks like a bad measurement. Yeah. This wasn’t the easiest storm to measure either. I didn’t get uniform totals even on the same flat tables. I might adjust down to 7.5”. 8” seems a tad high for me even though I didn’t sweep so there was probably 0.5 - 0.7 compaction. I got about 1.5” in the ULL. I was sitting at 6.2” for much of the day.

Honestly I'm expecting a lot to concede and close. Our neighborhood inside the beltway in MoCo is still completely unplowed and if MoCo has to decide based on the entire county.... I can see them deciding it is unsafe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
