It's been a few years since we had a decent pattern heading into prime climo.
Pattern isn't perfect but it's damn good compared to the past few years where we were model watching praying for a pattern change which was always 2 weeks away.
It appears that January could afford us several chances. Seems like we need 3 or 4 opportunities to hit on 1.
Potential is there for good January. Alot just comes down to caous and luck.
Most Meterologists don't change their forecast every 6 hours lol. If we ( this board) were in charge of forecasting for NWS people would have whiplash lol.
I think DT is very knowledgeable ,his delivery is undesirable though lol.
He was woofing for the 14 - 18th time period back at the end of November/ Beginning of December. He nailed that.
Everyone in this subforum would of liked the final results to be further south but their was a major winter Storm in the East during the time frame he was woofing.
Nice pics!
I had 9" also. The band last night was a bit hard to measure but I'm thinking I ended up with about 3" from it. Seemed to be high ratio stuff. Piled up easy for a few hours.
Feels like there might be enough cold air around this year to cash in from time to time.
Alot better than last year. Most of the times was a close the blinds type of pattern
Hard to tell exactly because of the wind but looks like I picked up 3 inches last night after the change over.
Storm total of 9.0 of snow/sleet
Forecast was for 12 to 18 here in Washington county. Missed the mark a little but still a great start to the season.
Last year I only had 5.5. By far the lowest total in 20 years living in Smithsburg.
Moderate snow. Picked up another inch since switching back to snow
Up to 7" of snow/sleet now.
I've surpassed my seasonal total of last year. Had to go back to last season's snow totals thread to check. I only had 5.5 last year.
