WinterWxLuvr Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Updated totals from LWX: http://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=nws&product=pns&issuedby=lwx BWI finished with 0.3" Going to call it 0.5" for me. Some of those totals just to my west are incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighStakes Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Some of those totals just to my west are incredible. The total from Romney was 18 inches at 12:00. They must have had sick rates for at least 8 consecutive hours. Probably 2-3 inches per hour. Ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDM Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Ended the storm with a solid 6 inches on the mark. Snow was too wet and heavy for my snowblower, so I had to do our 750foot drive by hand. Sore and tired.... gonna sit on the porch and have a few cold ones. Just a suggestion for the slush - buy an old Gravely walk behind tractor with the 210 snowblower attachment (nick name for the 210 is the "snow cannon"). It will take care of the slushy stuff for you, no problem. I've literally pumped saturated slush with mine like a big water pump, and they are cheaper than the new fangled snow blowers you find these days and will last forever. Have two walk behinds - a 1962 and a 69, plus too many attachments to list. Happy to provide more info if you'd like. I also have a Kubota BX23, with front blade and wing plow. Used it today to get it setup for the Winter. Hope this is just the first of many events for the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCWX Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Yeah it took me and my daughter (A whiny girl) 4.5 hours. Only reason I did it all is I am going to leave to drive tomorrow morning at 6 am to surprise my mom at the nursing home in Arlington with a few gifts. (She broke her hip last week and can not come out to spend Thanksgiving with us. ) Then be back for making our dinner. Gonna be a busy day.

Jebman Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Not only is this winter going to be a back to back snowy winter like last year, it will be WORSE than last winter. It will be colder than last winter, and it will be even snowier than last winter. Ian's dream of measuring 20 inches in a single blizzard this winter will not only be fully realized, it will be exceeded. All of us snow enthusiasts will be absolutely beside ourselves with joy like never before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pythium Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Colora md Cecil county finished at 3.0 elevation 490 took a ride down to Perryville and nothing zero nada nothing elevation 46 .... Elevation seems to be the key factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 1.19" storm total precip. The wet models nailed it. Still have snow cover despite less than an inch and 34-35 degree temps since 4pm yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDM Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I did a lot of landscaping and lawn service work as a young'n and Gravely is the best! Yup - love mine and even though they can't compete with the Kubota and wing plow for most tasks, I can't contemplate getting rid of them. You can check out my Kubota setup on Youtube - search on "BX23 and wing plow", there's several videos. However, when the heavy stuff gets too deep or too heavy to push even with the Kubota (like in Feb 10) I get out the Gravely/snow cannon and blow a couple of swaths to make room for the Kubota to take it the rest of the way. People stop and gawk at the blower pumping out a rainbow of snow 40+ feet high. Pretty amazing from only 12 hp, especially considering it's nearly 50 years old.

nj2va Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 On my phone and I don't have my notes in front of me but off the the top of my head, HRRR was best short term model. Euro was best global. GFS by far the worst. SREFs did well on QPF/forecasting a wet system. RGEM too cold but, while slightly overdone, did well with hitting the wet storm drumbeat.

ecosense Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Second round 0.6" for a total of 3.5" in G-Rock, PA We were under a dry slot for a few hours which reduced our total compared to Shrewsbury. 6 miles for a 1.5" difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozz Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 My house actually got more than my cousin's house in Parkton. Measured exactly 2" when I returned last night though it may have been more before some melting and compacting. But 2" it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozz Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 And the HRRR absolutely nailed it... it even nailed the higher amounts in those hills west of 83 around Cockeysville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighStakes Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 And the HRRR absolutely nailed it... it even nailed the higher amounts in those hills west of 83 around Cockeysville. I've noticed over the years that the area off padonia road around jenifer road sometimes does considerably better than nearby surrounding areas.

Fozz Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I've noticed over the years that the area off padonia road around jenifer road sometimes does considerably better than nearby surrounding areas.Yep, I live very close to that area, it sure helps that it has almost twice the elevation of the area around York Rd (where it was just a dusting as of 9pm last night).It made a huge difference in marginal events like yesterday, 3/6/13, and 12/5/09.

Fozz Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 LOL Good chase, Fozz. meh, you win some and you lose some, and I'm not even sure that a 20 minute drive qualifies as a "chase". But I enjoyed spending some time with relatives that I hadn't seen very much in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I-83 BLIZZARD Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Chase to Shrewsbury and environs. It sometimes doubles nearby areas simply due to a couple hundred feet of elevation especially in razor thin temp situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWxLuvr Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Yesterday I couldn't understand the low totals from the WV panhandle since I live so close. I can today. Drove up to Martinsburg this afternoon...left a good 3" here at the house and about 1 mile from 81 (which is only 4.5 miles from the house) went from solid cover like I have here to virtually nothing in the space of about 1/2 mile. No elevation change....crazy, and I have no explanation. There were reports yesterday of a foot only about 7 miles west of me. Think I'll drive out that way in the morning just to see the difference.
