    It was one of my favorite winters, right up there with 2002-03 for those in the lucky spots and just below the top tier seasons for everyone else. BWI ended up with 39”. I’d be shocked if there aren’t any more storms to track in the coming weeks. It’s the best winter in at least a decade, and maybe since 2014.

    That’s because 2013-14 (especially early on) was very frustrating for the immediate metros while those who live N/W kept getting buried.

    I’m going to guess 2013-14. Although even Dec 2013 had a late month blowtorch after a very good start north and west. ETA: Dec 2013 ended up slightly AN in the airports, so I think the last time all three months were BN was in fact 2009-10. And before that, 2002-03.

    Both my street and parking lot are still packed with snow. And it still feels like navigating little mountains whenever I try to move around.

    Man I’m disappointed. I would’ve liked at least a moderate storm out of this, but I guess this one won’t be it. Congrats Cape, this one might be yours.

    I thought 18z Euro only goes to 144 hrs.

    I headed to Berkshire East for the first time yesterday after having a rare day off. It was moderately cold (in the teens) but the snow was excellent.

    If it makes it to the top 10 in Boston and Worcester, then it’s historic. A 20” storm is no joke, even if it’s not Feb 1978. Maybe for your area it was just a major storm but this was a very big deal overall, not to mention how widespread this was from Texas to Maine, and how bitterly cold it was.

    I remember when Baltimore had more 20"+ snowstorms than Boston (with the disclaimer that Logan is a lousy spot and it missed many 20"+ events that hit other parts of the city). But the big ones have really accelerated and looks like this will be another one to add. And man is it well-deserved after the last 3-5 awful years. Everyone won this time.

    So good

    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.
  23. Fozz
    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.
  25. Fozz
    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?
