Yeah I've seen that -- something like 50s to -2 in a short period. Denver once had a deal where an arctic airmass to the east had a "bathtub effect" where it was banking up and down against the Rockies, and Denver oscillated between near zero to 40s in minutes, several times in one day.

About a half inch in Germantown. Hope we get another chance because I haven't had a 6" snow since 2019. Visiting Calvert tomorrow and it looks like they got 4-5 on snowfall reports map -

Such nice looking flakes for 37 degrees -- the conditions upstairs must be great. Trying hard not to look at forecasts for the coast -

If that map verified Calvert County would have triple the snowfall to date compared to places like Frederick -
Late January and February Medium/Long Range Discussion
BlizzardNole replied to WinterWxLuvr's topic in Mid Atlantic
Enjoy! We went to Puerto Rico Jan. 8-15 and it was a thrill to take off at 18 degrees and land at 83. Then we got back in time to enjoy the 3" on the 16th before it switched. Man I wish that one had a better track!- 4,130 replies

I read about that somewhere and remember a quote like "...36 inches deep on a level." To have a snow depth of 36" the snowfall amounts by today's measuring must have been in the 45" range!
-
Those really were great winters! What was the ENSO state those years? 2015 had some unusual events like that decent anafrontal snow plus a big hit by a low moving well to our west that stayed all snow. If that deal this weekend hits south and east like Jan 3, the snow totals to date for say Frederick compared to Huntingtown will look funny

Agreed! In Germantown we've had approx. 2", then 5" and today 3". I would have never thought we'd be at about 10' for the winter by mid-Jan! 28 and freezing rain forming a crust -

Sure is -- I live just a few miles down from Clarksburg (near 27 and 355) and I've seen them get 3-4 inches when we've had a coating. Germantown: Sleet just now mixing in eyeballing about 3 inches. Going to clear the driveway and walk so I don't end up with a slab! -

Germantown - light snow with a dusting; 22. Amazed we are on the 3rd snow event given the way the winter looked as of a couple weeks ago! Lots of cold ahead and something else will likely come out of that. -

Cloudy and 14. I remember a storm in '78 with good antecedent cold but bad track, with the forecast of an inch or so of snow then quick changeover to rain. The front end thump way overperformed (PG County at the time) and we got several inches real quick, then a dry slot with mainly drizzle. We can hope! -
If the track doesn't change much, a thump and a dry slot would be a nice outcome. I can't believe given the way this winter looked that I've had 2" and 5" snows already, and have another to track! Glad it's Sunday - we fly back from Puerto Rico to BWI on Saturday. Oh BTW sunny and 84 today
-
Although rare, there was a storm (I think 2015?) where the low went over/west of us but there was so much antecedent cold that we got mostly snow before the slot.
-
Just eyeballing out front it looks like the streets have half the amount compared to decks, etc. Combination of temps yesterday and leftover treatments from Monday's little event.
-
Germantown -- wow I woke up just before 2 am and saw less than an inch as it was getting going then woke up around 4 am and we have 4-5"! I wish I had woke up in the middle of it! Thanks for all the posts describing it in this thread.

Right? Total snowfall to date for DC south and east compared to say northern Frederick County will look crazy
-
Was that your report that NWS Sterling has up on their snowfall map? Congrats on jackpotting! My sister lives off Walton Road down there, and my parents are off Rt. 4 about 4 miles south of Dunkirk. They lost a lot of trees! 02:15 pm EST - 1/3/2022 SW HUNTINGTOWN, MD 15.5
-
They didn't measure just said "like 8 inches" and I saw this report not far from them (they're off River Road close to the DC line and this report is a little north). But this report looks a little high compared to others around and 5-7" for that area is probably more like it.
-
The cutoff is crazy! I have a friend 15-20 minutes away near Frederick with nothing, got about 2" here in Germantown, and my wife's brother in Bethesda near the DC line got 8! (I couldn't believe it then I saw a spotter report of 8.5 just down the street from them). Wow Bad part is my niece in rural Anne Arundel has no power as with many people. Hope they get it back quick as tonight will be frigid!
-
Germantown: just flurries now and eyeballing about 2" which was my bar for this storm. My family in Calvert and St. Mary's are having a ball with this one!
-
Really hope people that have missed out cash in! I got close to a foot in that 2019 storm so if I'm on the edge of this one so be it. Temp down to 43
-
We are *supposed* to fly to PR this Saturday, all we need is negative tests and no flight cancellation! Down to 59 in Germantown
-
HA! January 8-15 here. Would be my luck we get one big storm right then. Had a brief period of sleet at little earlier

December 2021 Medium/Long Range Discussion Thread
BlizzardNole replied to North Balti Zen's topic in Mid Atlantic
I hope not because this place and a sport board where I follow my (currently disastrous) football team are two of my favorite places. I tried social media like FB years ago and it just didn't click with me. I mostly just read on here as I don't have the expertise but it's been a fun place over so many years. Some memorable quotes: a few days before the Dec. 2009 storm someone posted "Welp time for the Euro to squeeze one off into the punchbowl" and another poster said "If that happens I'll intentionally roll my car on I-70" And how about the thread "The Hoffman cometh" So many good times on here! -
