I will be moving to Eastern Shore in the next couple of years. Gonna miss the mountains. But the nice thing about the Mid Atlantic is the mountains, beaches and cities are all within 3 hours. Love living here.
Banding sitting over Winchester again. 9.1 for the event. 20Z HRRR looks pretty nice for the next couple of hours. Nothing crazy but maybe another couple of inches through 01Z.
Next band moving into the Winchester area now. I was a little hesitant in believing what the models were spitting out. But the radar is filling in beautifully. 8.8 total for the storm so far. Should easily pass the December storm. Which was my goal. Snow 28 degrees.
Down to light snow here. I can actually see the sun through the clouds to my South. Cant wait for those heavy evening bands to come through later this evening.
.3 in the past hour 8.7 for the event so far. Can someone explain what causes a band like the one from Hancock to Winchester to just set up and sit stationary like this? Is it because the low is stationary. Or does it have something to do with the air at the upper levels?
That WRF run is straight up weenie for the Northern 81 crew. Would be a legit 6-10 on top of what we already have. Really heavy bands later this evening if true.
Like I said earlier. Winchester just lucked out with this one. If you look at 24 hour radar loops we had bands set up over us and pivot for hours. Very lucky. And this will probably end up being the best Miller B ever here.
First shovel of today done. 8.1 total for the event. A little over 7 on the ground after compaction. Some respectable 2 foot driveway walls. That is always my bar. Give me 2 foot walls on the driveway and 4 foot mounds at the bottom so they can stick around for a few weeks.
Light snow 26 degrees.
My area really just lucked out so far with this one. We have had these little 5 mile wide snow bands of moderate snow hit us. Pure luck. But I will take it.
It is awesome out here right now. Best rates of the entire event. It must have snowed all night because I had another 1.2 on my board when I just swept it. 7.6 total for the event so far and coming down nicely.
