1.25", moderate snow, down to 31.6

This backend stuff is accumulating better. A bit drier, higher ratio with the slight drop in temp and some wind. I'll measure again shortly.

Brutal gradient in MontCo.  I have about 2" just NE of Germantown while there's a 4.8" report from only about 3 miles from me between Clarksburg and Damascus

 

You were in the same subsidence area that I was and east to Baltimore.  Areas just to our north (Damascus to Cockeysville area) are mostly 4"+.  Mostly bad luck.  Probably "should have been" 3"+ for us.

Surprising its so low. I am 20 miles northeast of you and we have to easily be pushing 4 inches. Although less on the street.

 

This was a wet event and would have done way better with a bit colder temps. But still amazing. Its still been almost 10 years here since a 6 inch + snowstorm. (Blizzard 2016).

[mappy]

Measured 5.5”

[Scraff]

Currently 29. About 1.5 measured here. Definitely was expecting a bit more, but @WxUSAFalready noted what happened in our neck of the woods. Either way, works for me! Looks beautiful out there.

You matched the Parkton mesonet site snow depth perfectly!

[SnowtoRain]

@CAPEbit of a lull between the Kent County and Delaware heavy snow band. Looked at MDOT camera in Vienna and it was basically white out

Just measured 1.5" several places otg in an area with no grass(moss/dirt) and is mostly shaded. Around 1.3" on the deck, which gets sun.

Steady light snow continues to fall with a temp of 31 now.

[jonjon]

Snowing here in Ocean City now. 

Apparently got 8.6 inches and still snowing back home in Davis.

Some pings in the night. Warm layer definitely cut down on accumulation. A pasty .8.

Subsidence kills!  OT but in that Jan 25, 2000 storm I was stuck between two huge bands for hours and ended up with 7" while places to my west and east had 15-plus

I see the Ridgely mesonet is measuring 32" snow depth, you must have just missed out....

It's been a beautiful morning here in the lowlands. I started my hike in the dark at about 6. It looks like about 2". I appreciate every flake, but honestly this makes me crave a real all day snowstorm. I'd love for it to snow all day lol

As @wxmeddler often says, measuring snow depth is tricky. New York mesonet has a great Read Me file on the trials and tribulations of this process: https://www.nysmesonet.org/documents/NYSM_Readme_Snow.pdf

3.2? And I wonder if those stations account for settling/compaction. I just measure what's there- what's otg at the time, not what's fallen.

They definitely got some of the yellow bands that missed me. 3 miles away can make a difference with banding.

 

eta- LOL I see now- 32.13. A bit of a malfunction. Actual depth there is 1.7" which seems about right.

[snowfan]

White grass is reporting 16” snow depth at their 4300’ stake. The bear rocks weather station in dolly sods has a temp of 6 w/ gusts to 34mph.

I’m gonna have to play hooky I think Tuesday and head up there.  Would go tomorrow but I’m taking someone from a warm climate for the first time and tomorrow isn’t the day for intro to West Virginia skiing with a high in the teens and winds up to 35 mph. 

[Interstate]

Houston. We have a problem. 

[osfan24]

3 inches here, though maybe a tiny bit of compaction. Only about an inch on paved surfaces. Somewhat disappointing given what models were spitting out and considering it seemed like I got an early start to the snow last night. I just don’t think I ever got into the great rates and temps were generally somewhat of an issue for almost everyone. Guessing my ratio wasn’t great. The early band was just barely NW of me and I was between bands whenever I fell asleep. Very annoyed I slept through the thundersnow.
 

Looks super pretty out there, though. Great overall start to winter 5rough first half of December.
