I was checking the nam from yesterday and it looked like it was forecasting gaudy qpf amounts but maybe less than the euro. I didn’t check too closely though. I’m going to assume officially there was closer to 6” snow near downtown Frederick and a few inches of sleet. Seems like further south may have done better overall with qpf but still healthy regardless.
I’m obviously kidding. But off in qpf in what way? I unofficially measured 5” of high ratio snow in multiple places and it wasn’t really pouring sleet here…more like moderate for hours. I have no idea what the melted qpf is but it didn’t seem that far off. Maybe it was, idk.
Seems like we got stung by a lack of blocking/la Nina combo. But I generally agree that if we’re gonna waste an inch or whatever of qpf, this is the most wintry way to do it.
At this point, 52 sounds really nice lol. It’s just nasty out rn. I actually like the wintry part but roads are really gonna suck for a few days. Glad I stocked up
Often times we’d flip back to snow as the upper level low approaches, but this one looks like it’ll just end as sleet/fzra. Hopefully next storm we can get that primary/upper level low moving under our latitude.
Measured 4” on the dot in multiple spots. There is a bit of breeze, so officially a little higher, but my 4-6”+, anti-wimpy snow threshold has been met.
