EastCoast NPZ Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 9 minutes ago, das said: I’ll banter a bit since we’re in the lull. It’s been a good 20 years in Clarksburg. While further up Parr’s Ridge near @mappyand @psuhoffman certainly do better, it’s been amazingly consistent how often Clarksburg is the high total in the DC (actual) metro area. It’s a great combo of just enough elevation on the ridge, just far enough east so it’s out of the lee shadow of the Appalachians, just low enough to be below CAD inversions and my place is in a depression on NE facing hill so I get cold air drainage into the area and lower sun so the ground stays cold relative to the surrounding areas and I catch every possible flake. It’s like my own tiny microclimate version of the Canaan Valley. Alternately, my place in Vermont where I am spending my weekends now is the exact opposite. I live in the absolute least snowy area in the entire state. It’s so weird to track and report the (relatively) low total when everyone else is “cashing in” around me. Quite the juxtaposition. Let me know if you need help reporting low totals; I have 8 years experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now any snow pretty much at all means they preemptively 2-hour delay. This. In November they had a regular day when they should have closed. Roads were a mess, buses were crashing, etc. Now the new policy is to call a delay the night before so they can reassess in the morning whether to close.

Might make a run at 1". Got 0.5” over in Stafford too, may make a run at 1” as well. Not sure what just happens in the thread, but Radar looks great between Fredericksburg and Charlottesville.

Fozz Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 @Beachin, seriously, just cut it out. We all want snow, but living north of other people doesn't make you better, nor does it mean you'll get more snow every winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now any snow pretty much at all means they preemptively 2-hour delay. I was surprised to see Arlington close on Tuesday and announce quickly today too! However, sometimes it takes 1 bad decision and they try to repair for the next several years. PW Co schools had several people in accidents many years ago because of ice so they started closing for everything. FCPS started closing pretty quickly after the #closefcps storm when they didn’t delay or close. Lots of staff and parents in accidents, buses stuck, etc. I wonder if Arlington had a lot of problems on Nov 15th and don’t want a repeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
