The Carroll valley area had that storm get crushed then the storm a few years ago where Westminster had 6-8”, up here up to 15” and up on camp David and sabillasville, Cascade 20”
Yep that’s the one. Bigtime gradients. There are 2 this year already here. First week of January 6” here and rain in Westminster then 6.3” today and 1.5” maybe there, even 3.5” in Emmittsburg right?
@MAG5035 what kind of SLR did you measure up there? Temps ended up being solid here and 850’s were plenty good. Makes me think ratios may have been closer to 10:1 than expected. I was seeing some decent flakes during the 2” an hour stuff
I think snow growth was actually decent and that’s how I stacked up so quickly. Temps dropped to 31.5 during snow and 850 obs were well below 0, so after the initial 30 mins of meteors, flakes were a bit more efficient.
At first, I thought there was 5 inches earlier, then I took three measurements about an hour ago and they were all at 6, surprised me a little.
I did suspect 2” an hour rates and that basically confirmed it for at least 90 minutes
Based on whats going on down here in CPA with the rates we have and the low blowing up off the coast, you guys are in for a real treat. The 6z euro destroys NYC area, congrats folks.
I was passed out on the couch knowing I had the alarm set for 4AM. It's been honestly pretty epic on this side of the mountain. Vis is maybe 1/8mi with +SN and blowing snow, gusty winds out of the NNE
