dukeblue219 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 No evidence of any substantive snow or ice last night (north of downtown silver spring). Neighbor's 15 ft bamboo plants are still vertical, and they'd be the first to lean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldie 22 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Guess this thing will turn out to be a pretty long duration event...can we push it to 48 hours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowenOutThere Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I would be happy with some 1-3'' of snow today and Tuesday also does anyone have a map of where the low pressure is? The radar looks good it looks like it is going to start to fill in some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less expansive and cooler than even the 6z 3k NAM had at this time. Hopefully we can flip back to snow soon as precip redevelops. per SPC, its RAP function has those 850s back to 0 for me up here in 1-2 hrs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 1 hour ago, JakkelWx said: How are we going to see only an inch when it's going to be snowing starting 1 PM today thru early morning Wednesday? We're likely going to see a few inches at least. That would be a pretty big bust to only see an inch of snow when we are 50 miles from a low that stalls for almost two days straight. Just look at the thermals and qpf on the 3k NAM to use a model. Wont be much of any frozen during the day verbatim. Tonight into tomorrow is the period where it may snow some, but there really isn't great agreement on the location, and over here it is mostly associated with an inverted trough feature as the system departs. Might work out, but in my recollection this sort of thing rarely does. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoast NPZ Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Oddly. It continues to lightly snow....im not sure it has ever stopped. Been very light at times. Around 7". I wonder what it would be if I'd swept and measured. I imagine the rate of compaction has exceeded the accumulation rate at times. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bravesfan Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Looks like we got a significant amount of sleet and freezing rain overnight in Havre de Grace. Everything including the street is pretty much encased right now in a thick glaze...hopefully we get a few inches today as yesterday was underwhelming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baltimorewx Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Just drove to work. Definitely looks pretty with the ~4” of snow completely incased in ice. Looks like natural skating rinks lol. Roads arent too bad though, but then again I drive a wrangler lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdhokie Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 1/8" ice on top of ~4" snow. Must have been freezing drizzle all night. Glad I didn't shovel yet. The one spot I did was an ice rink. Giving props to LWX crew for the forecast. They had me at 2-4" for Sunday and mentioned 0.1" ice Sunday Night / Monday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad I don't have to go anywhere today because I don't think my little Nissan could do it lol. Just north of Baltimore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m on the east side of Baltimore county so it’s probably not quite as bad here as far as the roads. But yeah! Wish I could stay home! Well I guess I could, but don’t feel like using time off in the winter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormfly Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 About 5" here. Have not been outside to see how bad the crust is. Accurite anemometer cups frozen (nothing new there LOL) and one of the ultrasonic stations reporting crazy numbers due to rhimed over sensors. TEMPEST seems OK surprisingly enough and winds out of NE seem to be picking up. Looks like some nasty patches of ZR coming this way. Need to jump on the blower NOW as I'd rather clear three feet of snow than 5" with hard crust on top. That stuff is nasty! I really hope this doesn't turn into Carmageddon II where we get .3" accretion followed by over a foot of snow sticking to it. The tree damage and cleanup this way was probably one of the worst storms in recent history including 1999 and 1994. It does look very pretty, there's just something about a row of 85' tall spruce trees decorated with the white stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m struggling to remember a storm where guidance bounced around so much. Feels like every single run presents a different solution even while the event is unfolding in front of us.
