Imagine how DT feels. Dude is going to have to alter his final call map by 15 inches out here. 

He just did a Facebook update and said he may have to dramatically reduce his totals in his final call map tomorrow morning.

I am nowhere near ready to make any kind of call. The models have consistently bullseyed me for 3 days. The Lucy rug pull could be right around the corner.

I’m thinking of coming to Frederick Co Va for this one if it still the bulls eye on Saturday and if it looks it will be a dud here in Owings Mills. My mom’s place is in a good location. Close to 1100 ft about 8 miles sw of Winchester. 

My friend in capon bridge posted a pic online. Nearly 4 inches there.

Anyone in Thurmont or Emittsburg?  Conditions?

Maryland traffic cams show it’s snowing in Emittsburg. Roads look clear

10 inches vs. .55 on the season will do that

I hear you. I’ve been in Owings mills since 2018. Columbia and Dc area have had big snowfalls in that time. The most here was 5-6 inches and that took a three to four day span last year lol.  Places North, south, east and west have all had bigger single storm totals in that time. Ever storm has practically underachieved.

CWG just increased their totals a bit… everyone gets at least 2” now!  With a boom scenario up to 6”

NBC 4 followed suit

Ok so who was thinking this was gonna be a major east coast storm?

Maybe in the northeast like NYC or Bos certainly not here 

Pretty rare for owing mills to get 1 inch and Baltimore nearly 7.

There was nothing here in 2016 outside of one weekend. Literally nothing. I think maybe about 1/2”

I lived in Winchester then. You’re right it’s was nothing beyond that one weekend really; however, I would never say it was a bad winter when you get an all time blizzard even if it’s the only event. But as you say, subjective. 

Graupel or sleet in Owings Mills now

@psuhoffman do you have any snow cover left? We have a small patch here behind the deck but it will be gone this week I imagine 

I was 12 during the blizzard of 93 (superstorm triple phaser). Lived in Frederick county Va with some elevation so it was a terrific event there and my favorite storm of all time. Dad and I  took a “Jeb walk” in the height of the storm with raging winds and heavy snow. At the time there was 12 inches plus and we ended up with around 20-22 inches. Capon Bridge and Gore had even more snow 30 inches plus due to less sleet. Dec ‘92 capon bridge had another 2 feet from that monster nor Easter 

39°24′39″ N  76°49′19″ 
if you have an iPhone you just use the compass app that comes installed 

had a half hour or so of freezing rain after a coupe inch of snow. now trying To change back to snow 

795 starting to get covered. Secondary roads are covered in Owings mills. Traffic cams north of thurmont show heavy snow not sleet 

I know it’s cold, high of 28 or so here, but full late feb sun and basically zero melting.  Had it been two inches of snow and not sleet it would be mostly gone. 

Freezing drizzle in Owings mills for past hour or two. Could be very slick in the morning.

Anyone know if you are supposed to wipe your board when the precip type changes even if it hasnt been 6 hours? I am still sleet snow mix. But the radar is clearly heavy sleet heading this way. Want to get an accurate measurement of the sleet on top of the snow. 

That makes sense. Sleets going to cause some compaction 

Shockingly it changed to snow after hours of sleet 

@Deck Pic love that view! Didn’t realize you were also on a mountain. I lived in Winchester 30 plus years but my best friend lived in capon bridge. He always got more snow but didn’t have your elevation. I imagine you snow climo must be 40” a year or close to it. 

I would not be at all disappointed with a feb 14, 07 sleet/snow storm repeat; it’s one of my favorite storms of all time. Nearly 7 inches of sleet in Winchester and a glacier for the next month. 

Looking at the radar it appears this is going to keep going for a good while yet least with light freezing rain or drizzle—even up here in Baltimore County. Not a lot of accretion here but light freezing rain and a tiny bit of sleet today. Rain and drizzle has been consistent. 27 degrees

Concrete steps and walk are getting icy. I don’t expect much on roads in less we get ice overnight. Light zrain atm

Radar looks like it’s trying to flurry up this way soon. 

It does seem like it’s filling in more both north and south
