baltosquid Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Just got up with not enough sleep but don’t care. 2-3 inches on the deck. Snow falling nicely. Decent, not massive (yet) flakes but coming down. Seeing the mixing line get absolutely clobbered by rates on the radar is a thing of beauty. Here’s hoping we all get a turn at that band as it works its way up. If we do end up switching at 9-10am as the HRRR is saying, I think it will be a good result! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is DMV powder. I was up on the Tug Hill a couple weeks ago like I've mentioned 100 times now lol. The snow there is just different. It's harder to walk in this 3" i have on my street than it was to walk in 20" up there. I walked in fresh stomach high snow on morning and you could almost run in it. Once it packs down it's a different story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if it's just not picking it up? I believe once it enters a small enough radius around the radar you will lose sight of it? Can still draw that line across the gap to estimate where it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVclimo Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Picked up an inch in the past hour without ever having 1"/hr. visibility. This is easily 18-20:1 ratios so far. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the lake effect powder is a whole another level. Makes it much easier to clear the roads up there. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MillvilleWx Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Measurement incoming at 6am, but trained spotter less than a mile down the road from me was 3.0” at 5am. Should be pushing 4” or more with this measurement. Pics and measurement to come 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith1174 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Took dog out about 445, shoveled off some of the patio for her. Went back out at 530 and shoveled again. Between 1/2" and 3/4" in 45 minutes. Measured with a credit card, lol. Decent rates here in Harford County. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diatae Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I haven't gone out to measure but looks like just under 4" and a heavy wintry mix. Bigger flakes vs heavy sleet. The snow and sleet are in a street fight basically. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
