Wow that would be awesome! I’ve had several 6-6.5” events over the last few years, but anything over that would make it my biggest event besides the Jan ‘16 HECS.

This just feels more like a northern tier storm to me which is why I’m not really involved. I think we’re getting a lot more rain than advertised. 1/3-1/4 was our storm of the year IMHO

Are we tired of winning yet?

The Preliminary Monthly Climate Data (CF6) report from Wakefield lists 1/17 as a T now, which is also consistent with this map: http://www.weather.gov/akq/Jan17_2018

@Prestige Worldwide It's a Rorschach test- DC/Baltimore metro is literally getting the shaft

You should change your screen name to something happier now. “SBY is a snow town” might be good. :-)

For the lower shore people: which storm actually gave you more snow- this year or last year?

You messed something up with the quotes lol

Same here- this is my 5th winter here in Prince Frederick and I can’t believe I have managed at least one WSW event every year since I’ve moved here. It’s this thread dude! Lol Perfect song for tonight :-)

Calvert county schools closed again tomorrow- my oldest will be quite pleased! It's probably a good idea though considering the wind chill advisories and the fact that most of the side roads are still a mess (at least in my neighborhood they are). I shoveled my driveway all out though because I doubt OPM will have unscheduled telework again tomorrow. :-(

It's snowing lightly again. LWX extended the WSW to 4pm. That green blob on LWX radar southwest of me seems to be moving this way- I hope that's heavy snow!

My official measurement is 5" which is also what I submitted to LWX. Just like with HECS 2016 it was very difficult to get an accurate measurement with all the drifting. Snowboard was useless. I took about 20 different measurements, with the bulk falling between 4.5" and 5.5". Highest and lowest outliers were 3.5" and 10". Most of the readings came from the back yard which is less prone to drifting (and also where the snowboard is). Neighbor across the street has bare grass- it all blew into my front yard! I'll never get tired of winning.

I can't measure either- its blowing and drifting everywhere. My unofficial measurement is about 4-5" so far, but don't quote me on that. Woke up to a WSW- total repeat of 1/7/17! My name's Jason by the way, you all don't have to call me Prince lol

About 1/4” so far. Reminds me a lot of the President’s Day 2015 snow- very tiny, powdery flakes. Calm winds. It was really nice to stand out in. :-)

Snowing hard here and sticking to everything.

Snowdude’s back- oh yeah!!

Holy sh*t that warning is amazing- Salisbury is a snow town now. Please post videos and pics!

If there was ever any argument as to why this thread exists, simply look at the latest page of meltdowns on the discussion thread.

We prepaid with 13/14, so we should be good for a few more years. :-)

@csnavywx Thanks for the response!

@csnavywx or anyone else- what are your thoughts on Southern MD impacts? This LWX map reminds me a lot of where we sat 48 hours out before 1/7/17. I was forecasted 1-2 but wound up with 6.5". Wondering if another big event is potentially on the table.

No I still read- trust me I vastly prefer this thread to the main discussion thread. We seem to have lost some people this year though. :-(

Dec 29-30, 2017? Since the main thread is reminiscing, I'll bump this. It's been two years. I'm not sure if the poll still works after the board update though. 1/7/17 is an honorable mention for IMBY

I’m admittedly not smart enough to understand every potential system this week, so anyone want to break it down for the regions covered by this thread? It would be appreciated!

Oldest was feeling better so we all went outside- we managed to build a snowman with only one inch of snow! This was actually a lot easier than the storm last January since that one was all powder. He just rolled a snowball around in the front yard until it got big enough lol
