And this is a good point. I think WCPS sometimes only sees the county as Hagerstown, when that is definitely not the case. Assume that can also be an issue in FCPS and Frederick as well.
Washington County and Frederick County also holding out, it seems. Given that all of the neighbors to the north, west, and east are either cancelled or releasing early, I'm a little surprised.
Road conditions are awful in the Hagerstown area. We have about 2 inches of fluffy stuff, but I'll get a better measurement in a bit. Nice to have a little surprise performer this year!
Definitely living through one of the worst forecast busts I can remember. Even those of us who stayed mostly snow aren’t going to come close to what was forecast on this one. Models were showing 6-12 inches here not 36 hours ago, and I might have 3.5 inches out there. This winter sucks.
Starting to wonder when LWX starts lowering totals for us NW folks. 8-12 inches is not looking particularly good for a forecast right now. Given what the models were showing just 12 hours ago, this is a 6 inches or bust storm up here.
I’m wondering the same thing. Hagerstown area could get anywhere from 2-3 (Euro) to 6-9 (GFS, NAM, RGEM). Is there any other model still as dry as the Euro?
Snow finally tapered off on the M/D about an hour ago, but picking up again. With my last measurement, I’m at 13.7 inches for the entire storm. Definitely one of the more memorable and enjoyable storms since I moved to this area.
Already hearing reports of over a foot of snow at Cascade, MD. They may add another 8-10 inches before its done, so going to be some crazy totals in that area.
Just drove from Hagerstown to Greencastle across the M/D. Didn’t hit moderate snow until the airport on I-81, but it became heavy snow by the border. We have two fresh inches up here and it is ripping.
Am I the only one in awe of the disparity there? GFS insists we I-81 folks get 8-14 inches, and the NAM’s are a fraction of that. I’d like to think the GFS has a better idea as it hasn’t budged in a number of runs now.
The difference between the globals and mesos for us M/D folks seems almost laughable. It seems I can expect anywhere between 3 and 16 inches of snow. Not sure I can recall such a disparity this close to an event between those camps.
Maybe I'm just naïve, but it seems concerning that we have such big differences with the major models on that feature over New England basically 48 hours from its impact on this storm. Seems like pretty big disparity for a feature so close.
Pretty disturbing to have every model on track for a massive hit for the almost the entire forum...except the Euro now. That was a pretty big jump south at 0z for us NW folks. Hope it was just a blip.
