Scraff Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Aboutr 2.5" snow on the east side of Columbia, but we did have sleet/pellets and some rain mixing in during the 7-8am timeframe. I concur on at least 2.5. I did not take an official measurement here in Elkridge (just west of 95), but it could have even a touch more. Can't wait for the good stuff to roll in. Anyone have an ETA on our first shot at thundersnow? We thinking rush hour / happy hour / slow carnage hour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psuhoffman Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 He's joking my friend. I think it would be funny if a few of us set up a joke thread like 6 hours before a major snow event right during the normal "panic" period and start talking about how horrible things are. Post obscure pressure readings, wind direction reports, Cape and moisture convergence maps, and a bunch of other stuff that 90 percent of the weenies wont have any idea what they mean and pontificate on how its all falling apart. We might thin the herd a little bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people need to lighten up about it though...the tension during this pre storm period is always too thick. I wouldn't go too long with it, probably 30 minute at most before letting them in on the joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agordon5 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 what time during the PM rush, early 4 or later 6, I'm not 100% sure this will matter with traffic. The Gov't (Fed and local) are probably going to start sending people home around 12-2pm so no matter when the snow starts traffic will be a nightmare.

D-Train Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Can you help me get this straight? Looking at the Bufkit data for the 12Z NAM, it's showing 3+ inches/hour from 4pm on. But it also shows 2 hours of Rain/Snow. Surely it's overestimating temps and it will all be snow, correct? Not being a weenie, I'm asking seriously about commute/public safety/timing. That pushes total Snow rates through the roof. Thanks.
