Got a nice changeover back to snow about 2 hours ago up on the M/D. Ended up with 1.75 slushy inches. Not what I was hoping for but snow is snow, especially this early.
North Hagerstown and north/northwest pretty much missed all of the rain yesterday. This area just refuses to rain, lol. Hopefully better luck today and tomorrow, this place is a sandpit.
As we wrap up another winter tracking season, a big thank you to the red taggers and other valued posters on this board. It's great to read and learn--and sometimes face palm--every day. This one was a lot of fun to track, even if the results were pretty subpar for my area. Cheers to a better winter next!
It’s times like these that I fall back on some words of wisdom stormtracker gave me a few years ago.
“When in doubt, trust the 48-hour NAM. It’s like a Hanzo sword at that range. Also, bitcoin? Don’t waste your money, it’s a passing fad.”
I remember when the ICON shifted 200 miles south on Saturday morning and I joked this might be an Atlanta/Savannah storm before it was over.
Sometimes I hate myself.
I know we’ve had some very smart people say we all fell for the over-amped solutions in the midrange, but this is much more than that. It’s been a while since we’ve had this sort of fail in the 4-5 day range for the models. We went from a MECS at 5 days out to no storm two days later. This was an all-time fail.
Rates are keeping the column cooled down on the M/D. Roads and sidewalks have caved. My guess is as soon as we lose the rates, we go over to snizzle to rain.
