clskinsfan Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I have seen some sleet here but no snow yet it would be nice to see a few flakes today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVclimo Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Just came to Frederick for work. Rain/snow mix when I left the house. Once up to about 800' elevation on I-70, it was all snow and heavy. Accumulating on the top of South Mt. above 1000' even on the road shoulder. 5-car pileup too, along with a car flipped over on old 40 near the entrance to the Appalachian Trail. Snowing on Braddock Mt. too, but not sticking there yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snownut Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Just measured and now at 2.6" 1" in last hour! Now at 19.8" for the season never expected to break the 20" mark on April 23rd but looks likely now. Fun day in WV for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temp was 35.7F and I was at 510' elevation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowfan Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Laurel Summit coming in at a foot at 9AM. Keysers Ridge had 5 inches this morning just before 6, so I imagine they've eclipsed the 6-7 inch mark by now. For the most part, roads appear to fine.

Logan11 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I didn't look at obs today....but based on my trip last year on April 1st, I think Canaan Valley, WV must be the place to be. Nice resort there and a snow paradise for that latitude at like 3400'. i think I will go chase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deck Pic Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Pretty hard for me to get to some of the suggested places with my time parameters. I think I mentioned my time limit. On sugarloaf now at 1000 ft. Wasn't expecting much and didn't get much. Spitting rain. Upper 30s. Going to head to the catoctins and /or south mountain.

smokeybandit Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 "Numerous showers will continue across lower southern Maryland and the metropolitan areas of Baltimore and Washington DC for the remainder of the afternoon. Rainfall amounts of a tenth of an inch an hour will be likely. In addition...a few of the stronger showers may produce some graupel." I have never seen graupel referenced in a layman's forecast, and only know what it is due to hanging out on this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deck Pic Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Thanks. I got to 1850' which is one of The highest points in Frederick county. Apparently I parked in a restricted area (camp David?). I got hounded by the park police and given a citation/warning and I am now in their system whatever that means. There was patchy snow up there with more than patchy on the vehicles. It was intermittently spitting snow, icy mix and 34 degrees. I am now at 1500' but think I should change locations before I get hounded again. It's actually 38 on the summit according to weatherbug but my car read 36 and has been running 2-3 degrees too high all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
