jayyy

That would definitely explain it. I guess it’s possible you got caught between banding during some of these storms, but that’s pretty unlikely to the tune of 10+ inches on the season. 35 def. seems a bit low compared to your surroundings when seasonal totals are 40”+ on both sides of ya. Feels like you’re missing about 6” from your total - perhaps a missed storm when you were away. I’m at roughly 600, so you’ve definitely got a little elevation on me, hence the confusion! I will say though… We have gotten really lucky here near the Frederick / Carroll county border with solid banding nearly every storm. I don’t have Thurmont type lift, but we’ve been lucky with QPF all season long not too Far East of there. Emmitsburg has been in the jack area all season - this season we have gotten lucky to be on the eastern flank of that jackpot, when in years past we normally get caught between areas of lift to our east and west. Going to enjoy it while I can! The 95 crew is due for a big season with East tracking coastals soon enough.

You’ll get there. Not by Saturday, but by March 7th. That’s my guess.

35 for the year? Hm. You must be in a snow shadow next to the ridge for some of these storms. That’s a rather large difference between you, NE Westminster and Manchester. Especially since some places to your west are over 40-45” as well. 30” in February alone here. My totals typically line up pretty well with @losetoa6 since we’re not very far apart -however we both typically get less than PSU’ville. 46.75” total here for the season. I’ve got some elevation to help out, but am probably about 300 ft below PSU

He definitely got his mama’s genes in this regard. Jess despises the cold and winter weather in general. Definitely didn’t get that blasphemy from me!

The gradient of total seasonal snowfall between laurel/elkridge, ellicott city, sykesville, and taneytown is actually pretty mind blowing this winter. Ranges from about 15” to 50+“ within a 40 mile span. I know it’s colder up north, but that seems like way wider of a discrepancy than usual. (It definitely is based on all of the animosity received this season)

5” on the dot. Looks like that’ll be all she wrote as a slight snow / sleet mix is all that remains overhead. Helluva morning. Think there will be some 6-7” reports to my west and east in the higher elevated areas like Thurmont or PSU’ville

Another storm, another ellicott city / Columbia transition zone. Reports of rain, snow, and sleet all coming from various parts of east HoCo. My brother said he had a healthy mix when he left his house off 108 and it’s pouring rain (freezing) near Oella

Heaviest returns are now to my east, but damn that was AWESOME.

Perhaps upload the video to YouTube and share a link?

I have never once been able to see these videos. I just assume it’s snowing heavily and keep scrolling

Sorry bud That’s unfortunately the same deal as every other city along 95 between Richmond and Boston. Not just here unfortunately. 2000-2015 was filled with winters featuring i-95 specials and area wide significant snows. We got a bit spoiled by it. Climo is just rearing its ugly head more than recent years this winter. Nyc has done better in comparison to its suburbs than Baltimore and DC have, but this is what the usual song and dance looks like in the mid Atlantic historically (outside of the past decade) it’s a shame — with some very small adjustments, 95 would definitely be well over climo. Hope there’s at least one area wide warning snowfall in the old tank before winter comes to a close. You all deserve it after these past 3 winters

Keep ‘em coming PSU! #forumsnowcapitol

Did you just shit on his 51 with a seasonal total from a highly elevated ski resort that averages nowhere near the rest of us annually? damn bro. Y’all cut throat. Hahaha

From my brother in ellicott city — heavy ZR. I-70 must be the divide. Reports of heavy snow mere miles to their north.

Currently Dumping…. As far as outside OBS…. moderate snow, fatty flakes. Approaching 5”. Will measure at noon

Back edge of precip approaching, but man this last hoorah is legit.

Amazing! My son goes to school at the Mount, and he’s so over this winter already lol. I just sent him a troll text with a ton of falling snowflakes congrats on the cash in! Enjoy friend.

Nice man! Congrats

Uhh by saying I’m surprised? Lol ok. Whatever. I’m definitely good here.

Yeah, I definitely don’t know everyone’s micro climos lol. We’re at very similar latitudes. Wonder if it’s proximity to the bay? Would be interested to know more about Maryland’s climo and why folks have had such a vastly different winter being so close by to another. I admittedly don’t know much about the climos of certain areas - except that Thurmont always gets smacked.

Not sure I remember any winter where Sykesville ended up with half of what we do up in the northern half of carroll county. Pretty surreal honestly.

That’s pretty surprising honestly.

Heaviest returns temporarily cool the column enough for all snow but that sleet is being stubborn as all hell with south winds aloft. Currently dumping a mainly snow (85/15) snow/sleet mix. 30 degrees. 3.5”

Don’t you have like 40? Lol

He’ll have 50 in 15 mins, so stay tuned.
