North Balti Zen

You’re a peach. Thanks for that. I’ve been on this board long enough to know that PhineasC, psu, and mappy will likely report snow falling well north of me while it also falling south and west of me while I wait.

One thing I know - no matter the storm - Balt city will be the last in the area to fill in and get going.

I recall reading it when it was posted here, and there were like - two times on record - where that happened. Extremely rare.

I am super happy for you that you finally got to experience a legit snowstorm. There's nothing like it, in my view.

Thanks don. That captures the forum split on this storm perfectly. Frustrating for those of us in here in the blue. Although I think that frustration was generally handled well. Probably the biggest forum splitter in terms of totals over such a short distance in our forum where a majority of forum cashed and a small area didn’t since I think the second Feb 2010 blizzard left @mattie g area behind in terms of totals. Maybe @C.A.P.E.‘s area in Jan. 2016 in the dry slot too. fun storm to track though and at least no one got shut out.

To put the gentle frustration of the Baltimore city and north crew in perspective. It is 11 miles from my house to Ellicott City. 5.2 inches for my house, a little over double 11 miles away.

It just didn’t work out for us this time. Hopefully next time we do better. I ended up 5.2. Frustrating given how close we were to much more, but also, could have been much worse in terms of far less snow.

I guess? Not really for me in Balt city. Two sloppy inches that melted hella fast. I sure don’t count that as a jack. For Chill land to be at 11.4 and my part of Balt city at 5.2 is a crazy difference over a short span of land.

Glad for you all but this has been kinda a bitter end to things for those of us north. Maybe we can catch a break on the next one.

For sure on that last part.

Yeah. I am .4 since latest round started but it’s backing off already. Does get me to 5.2 for the event.

Just went for a walk - really lovely out with the snow falling even though the heavy stuff you all are getting isn’t here. Still hoping a band gets here and then pushes up to Mappy and Hoff.

I think the banding is here in Balt city finally. Snow accumulating again - will push me over five inches at my house, hopefully more if this can keep up for several hours.

Finally light snow that may accumulate again.

Literally just how the storm played out. And we are lucky it wasn’t a hair further south or we would only have an inch or two rather then 4-5. We actually really maximized with a system that we were never flush for.

Big parachutes starting to drift down. Fingers crossed.

4.8. So close to five. Just need a hiccup from a snow shower this afternoon.

4.5” so far - really crossing fingers for another 1/2 inch to get to a verified storm warning... ...i will probably mentally call it verified even if we don’t. great event to hopefully get things going.

Steady to moderate - legit size flakes - this will accumulate if it does this for awhile.

Yup - we can work with this is it holds and snows like this for awhile.

Big flakes just picked back up here - hoping that is sign of next burst. @nw baltimore wx you seeing same?

I would very much like another inch to get to 5, all things being equal. I think we can do that.

You downtown? It’s four up here in Hopkins area. We should see more today.

4 inches north Balt city. Given radar, this will easily be the first legit warning criteria snow for my zip code since the huge January 2016 storm. Almost three years between verified warning level storms - this is truly welcome.

I mean, the radar looks superb for pretty much all of us, for hours and hours.
