My area ended up with a bit less snow than other surrounding areas. After the squall, the new depth was around 15.5”, which probably would’ve been 18-19” before compaction. Definitely a few inches less than ORH proper but as I said before the storm, I would’ve been thrilled with 12”. -
Ended up with 2.5” new. I was outside for the vast majority of it as it kept ripping for several hours. Easily the best part of the storm and 19° felt downright warm.

It’s been a snow globe for the last half hour. With at least a foot and a half of snow on the ground it’s been a glorious evening - just the way winter ought to look.
-
Snowing again while I’m shoveling. Rates are picking up and the flakes are excellent and much better than yesterday.

I fully trust that DCA has accurate and reliable snow measurements. What I disagree with is the notion that DCA is in any way representative of the region when it comes to snowfall. It is a zero elevation warm spot on a river and in the midst of the DC heat island. That’s why their snow totals are what they are.
-
Yep. Nice mood snow after the big storm.
-
Hot off the presses! 17.5" at ORH as of midnight - from 1.59" of liquid. High of 10, low 0.

I was practically a toddler last time it happened in the immediate metros, and now I'm a few years from 40. I wanted to think the models were overdone with the cold, but the more they persist, the more I question what I thought was possible in this post-2016 base state.
-
My parents told me they received around 10" - a very solid and respectable total, and it presumably includes the sleet. This wasn't the perfect snowstorm but it sure was good enough to break a multi-year, in some spots a decade-long curse for many. And the coming weeks have the potential to be truly memorable. I don't believe this will be the last solid event of the season.
-
I never did the 6 hour thing but my settled depth is around 13” new. Storm seems to be wrapping up but it was a very solid event and I just finished shoveling my car. This isn’t the biggest storm I’ve ever lived through but it’s certainly one of the most brutal, considering the temps were in the single digits all day and only by midnight did it rise to 11°F.
-
It’s still 7 degrees here in Worcester. And it’s been 5-7 all day, I’ve ventured outside 3x, and it’s still coming down.
-
I’d say that’s how the 10” Cockeysville measure might make sense. Probably cleared the snow and then added the sleet total.
-
Ultimately that’s how I felt about February 2007. This seems similar except with a bit more snow. And the best part is it that this is just the beginning of a very memorable deep freeze. And of course this broke the years-long stretch of not having a 6”+ storm in Baltimore and slightly north. I don’t think this is the last of it. Hopefully we’ve turned a corner.
-
I was just going to ask about it because that would be a jackpot if true. But I’m very skeptical. Is there anyone close to that area who can verify if the snow continued much beyond 10am?
-
Just got back from my first jebwalk. Temp is still 5-7 degrees and yet the snow is coming down hard. With enough layers, it’s still so cozy. https://imgur.com/a/pfqtoN5

Heavy snow. In the middle of the first of many intense bands.
-
Snow started 1-2 hours here in Worcester, now picking up and everything is covered. Temp is 6 degrees. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a full fledged snowstorm this cold before. Not even PDII.
-
Baltimore got the heavy rates that it needed early on, so they’ll be fine and it will last for a very long time.
-
Yeah my family is near Baltimore and while they got a solid 6-7”, the changeover is happening fast. I thought it would take until early afternoon. NAM seems brutally effective at detecting those warm layers aloft that global models miss. I thought it was too amped and warm, but reality may be proving it right.
-
I thought the general public would be thrilled that it didn’t happen. Maybe I underestimated them.
-
My mom sent me several pictures and videos and that sounds about right. It looks like around 6” or so and the snow is very fine and powdery.
-
If that 15% of being away in the winter is during peak climo, then you’re going to miss a disproportionate number of big storms. Thats just how it works. Late January and early February is the prime window for KU storms. Not early December or mid March even if they can sometimes happen.
-
The reach of this storm is breathtaking and probably is up there with past HECS. This shall rank high on the KU scale.
