colonelaureliano1 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 I wonder if we'll get a "what went wrong" writeup?I’m not a met so I’ll leave the real discussion to them but to me this event was always on a razor thin edge someone in central MD was going to be on the wrong side. This time it was basically the western border of Anne Arundel county, that being said a couple decent bands and it all evens out you never know until it’s over. I think models honestly did a good job portraying the difficult set up on this one but we get caught up looking at qpf and snow maps and sometimes miss what’s clearly being modeled right in front of us because well, it’s fun to look at snow maps.

Still though there is a nonzero chance that there may not be any more snow after this. Not because of torching but because of dryness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87storms Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 1 hour ago, midatlanticweather said: Ok. 1.2 inches. Snow definitely had graupel/snow pellets in that last round. Visibility is way down. So far very wet snow. I think we lost a lot on ratios and melting. As I am typing snowflakes are back and they are small but a lot Definitely a snowball making snow. Very much rate dependent. Luckily we’ve had that here for the most part. Just measured 1.5”. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If things pick up in the next hour, it’ll make the time minimally bearable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronTy Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Dumping fatties hard down here in a Calvert. Roads have caved and we got prolly 4" on the ground already. JK, warm rain down here. Going to the cabin this weekend and taking the new snowshoes. They're supposed to get a foot out there and I'm expecting several feet on the ground when I get there.
