I measured 7.3" - this was the combination of two six-hour measurements on the snowboard (clearing after the first measurement). That's my 2nd biggest event since moving here (HECS 2016 was #1). @csnavywx nailed it for southern MD - nice job!

What’s everyone’s temps in southern MD? IMBY says 36, weatherbug at Calverton school says 34. Still heavy snow here though.

If this keeps up at this rate I'm gonna have a foot by this afternoon lol

The power line 1/5 mile away is fading from view.

I think we're in that yellow blob over Calvert on radar lol

Wow it's game on here now lol

Definitely seeing more snow mixing in with the sleet now.

The map for 4-6” was last updated at 4:45am and the point and click (which tallies up to 3-5”) was last updated 7:29am. Not sure if LWX will downgrade us to advisory but maybe northern Calvert is still on the table for WSW level snow, I haven’t checked.

Heavy sleet here too although my thermometer says 36. Never had problems with accuracy before but you all are several degrees lower so it must be a little off. LWX dropped my point and click to 2-4” today and up to 1” tonight. Map went from 6-8” to 4-6”.

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!!
