Had heavier snows earlier but its slowing down now and were losing the temp battle (currently 33 degrees). Never accumulated on streets or sidewalks, they're still wet. Probably less than an inch on the ground.
If it's any consolation, you actually have 3.2" for IAD as a guess in the contest. I knew as soon as I dropped my IAD guess a half-inch it would probably kill me.
It was part of the reason we originally created this thread back in the day. It's been a common feature this week now lol
Start at where Anne Arundel meets Calvert and just draw a straight line running west to east- nothing below that gets any snow.
I got nothing overnight. I think our next chance will be sometime in February- rest of the month looks like it’s the northern tier’s time in my opinion.
Before the move I lived in Glen Burnie all my life, so 2010 and all the classic HECS (2003, 1996, etc). I experienced up there. January 2000 was huge in southern MD too wasn’t it?
Final total: 8.0". This is the 2nd biggest storm since I've moved here (HECS 2016, when 15.5" fell, is #1).
Snowboard measurements listed below:
2.3" (12am, 1/13)
3.6" (8:15am, 1/13)
0.2" (2:15pm, 1/13)
1.7" (11pm, 1/13)
0.2" (7am, 1/14)
Storm total (so far): 7.8"
Had a lot of fun sledding with the kids today and making our annual snowman. Every year since the kids have been born we've managed at least one WSW event each year to build one.
Heaviest snow of the storm here now. Snowboard measurement is due again tonight.
One thing I’ve learned about southern MD - we usually fumble the opening play but we know how to close!
Back to snow here- Always Be Closing. Afternoon measurement increases storm total to 6.1”. Need another 1.3” to make this my 2nd biggest storm since moving here.
Temp is 33- not due for another official measurement until this afternoon but it looks like we’re in auto-refresh mode (i.e. it’s snowing lightly at about the rate its melting/compacting).
First official 6-hour measurement: 2.3"
Temp: 31
LWX now has me mixing with sleet and rain tomorrow before finishing out as snow- we'll see how much (if any) that cuts down on the final total.
Temp has been holding steady at 32. Parts of the roads and the sidewalks are beginning to cave. It’s been a wet snow here and not the fine powder I was expecting (I prefer wet snow anyway!)
Unofficial measurement was 0.8”. I’ll take my first official one at midnight if I’m still awake.
