I think I’ve had trouble with the snow growth zone and maybe a pesky warm layer or two. Even the decent snow a half hour ago seemed to be rimmed pretty good That has happened with a bunch of the March events since 2016 that others have cashed in on and around Baltimore city area not so much. No idea why. Probably a peculiarity for these kind of March systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just saw a pic on 95 in Elkton and it looks like blizzard conditions. Don’t quite get why I never got it here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbook Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 A bumper of a F-150 is not a great snowboard, but it provided the deepest snow measurement. The average measurement was 3.2" near Oakton, Va. That last snow burst was impressive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just saw a pic on 95 in Elkton and it looks like blizzard conditions. Don’t quite get why I never got it here Locations like yours are just subject to a multitude of issues with any given event, but it's not always the same issue. Two that are always present are UHI and proximity to the bay, and then lack of elevation, which is the primary issue here. I have zero UHI to contend with, and I am on the interior upper part of the eastern shore, so not close to the moderating influences of either bay. The ocean effs us both over when we get a wrapped up coastal or one that tracks just inland. You can miss out on marginal events(me too) where places just to your NW do well, but then I can cash in on offshore tracking lows like this past January, and you mostly miss those too lol. So all that, plus bad snow climo for the region in general, and it can suck pretty bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDM Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 The effects of the solar radiation with the increased sun angle are in full force on the 50x70 asphalt parking pad next to our house near Vienna. Plowed the 2" of snow and slush off this morning so it wouldn't free up tonight. The entire area has stayed wet ever since even with temps hovering around 24/25. No stickage at all with the latest band that went through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 The yellow returns on the radar seem to be were the legit flizzard action is. Seeing that mostly pass just to my SW and east over DE the past hour or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmk Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Sun now out in Gainesville - Guessing around 2.5-3 inches on the grass. Roads kept getting dusted and then melting and repeating. The last band that came through was the highlight of the event. Overall really fun to watch on the weekend and got out with my son during the heaviest snows. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayyy Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Interesting how the two storms I didn’t really care to track (the first and final) ended up being 2 of the top 3 snowfall for the winter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scraff Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Nice ending. I’m happy. Never got road caveage, but everything else looks and feel like a mid-winters dream. ETA: My beer fridge shelves luckily didn’t cave either! I’ve been helping to lighten them today just in case. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kristia Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Nice event here. Haven’t been out to measure but I would guess about 5” or so. The winds recently started. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nj2va Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Sun had come out here earlier this afternoon but upslope has started again. 10 degrees, SN, and winds gusting into the 40s pretty consistently. Had a 50 mph gust a bit ago. WSW calling for 2 additional inches of snow through tonight. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris78 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Ended up with 5.5" here in Smithsburg. Was really impressed with the temp drop between 530am and 630am ,about 10 degrees and then instant stickage basically as soon as the change over happened. Not bad considering it was 50 degrees at midnight. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clskinsfan Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 These streamers are crazy out here. If you are between them you get sun with walls of cloud to the north and south of you. Then once one gets over you you get mauled with snow and blowing snow. Cool stuff. And a rare occasion out this way. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a mod squall is leaving an additional inch. No way of telling exact accumulation but definitely verifying 8 or more. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 3 hours ago, WxMan1 said: Snowing decently here in Crofton with the backside deformation banding setting up. Before the lull, we may have gotten a quarter inch or so. Happy to hear the NW-W areas doing well. For me, this winter was more than okay, especially after a disastrous December. 10.25" on January 3rd was really all I needed. That was a great storm at a great time of the season. Yeah even though Dec sucked, and Feb and March(so far) produced next to nothing, I can't hate this winter because January was nearly perfect. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

La Nina winters really bring out the nuances of forecasting snowfall in this area. When you have blockbuster years like 2009-2010 it's tougher to distinguish the importance of what 100" in elevation or being one county too far west/east can have on a forecast event 12 hours out.
