Weather Will Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 About an inch on my car as I leave Frederick and head home. Parking lot is a little slushy. Mulch is covered. Generous to say an inch on the ground. Very light snow falling. Sad because that might be it for the year. But there is always hope next year!!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised you are still that warm. I’m 31.1. Do have to say, this is still low ratio stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bncho Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 @Terpeastwhat will the ratios be in the norlun trough? plus do you think both bands will be as potent as eachother, and has your thinking changed about where the jackpot totals will be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grhqofb5 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Coming down hard for the last 3-4 hours in Odenton MD. Not even an inch on my back deck. Problem is it’s just too warm, it could snow all night like this and wouldn’t make a difference. Still nice though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psuhoffman Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 17 minutes ago, Terpeast said: Before the flip to snow, I picked up 0.27” and now I have over 2”. Perhaps 5 degrees colder would have put me at 5”. But 2-3 degrees cooler? More blurry. Maybe 3-4” or something like that. I think that’s a good estimate. I think some misunderstand when I say it’s hurting. Like last weekend. I didn’t think I should have got some 10” storm. But I do think 30 years ago that was a 2-3” snow instead of .4 qpf of slush bombs at 34-35 degrees. It’s hurting on the margins. And it all adds up. Not saying some 3” storm should have been 20” or anything crazy. But you add a couple other minor events. Tack on an inch here or there and some of these years aren’t as dreg. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlizzardNole Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 23 minutes ago, psuhoffman said: The thing is we can get stuck on exactly how much colder it would have been in 2000/1970/1950… yes the 2f/3f figure is an average. But it would have been colder. And any colder would have helped. I can’t say how much. Would I have got 6” instead of 5? Or 7 or 8. I dunno. But I find it weird that people are getting stuck on that specific “we can’t say exactly how much it’s hurting” argument. Yes we kinda do. On the whole DC has gone from 25” to 14” over 100 years. Maybe we can attribute some of that to the location change so let’s say the real figure is 25 to 17. That’s still a very significant decrease! No we can’t say each storm exactly how it would have been different but we know we’ve lost about 30% of our snowfall. Same at Baltimore. Why get stuck on “well exactly how much did it hurt”. It hurt. It is hurting. We are snowing less because it is warmer. Some storms it impacts more than others but when we’re borderline temps seems pretty obvious to me those are the most impacted. We had an 8" snow in Germantown on Dec. 5, 2003 with temps right at freezing, and when I got off the MARC in DC it was all rain. That same storm today would be rain in Germantown. Anywho, mod snow with 2" just NE of Germantown and 32 degrees 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go by the closest weather underground reporting station, which is less than a mile away and always seems pretty reliable. We piled up early on but it’s just not accumulating much right now.

I think today was a great example of the margins we lose. I'm at around 2 inches of snow and waited till 2pm for snow to start mixing into the rain. We run that back 2-3 degrees colder and I'm below freezing a whole hour or two ahead of time which is probably around an inch extra of snow. Now, to truly get this storm further we would need 5+ degrees colder to get it all snow from morning onwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowenOutThere Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 The western and intensifying band is exactly 2 miles to my west. Still getting some good blowing snow but nothing crazy like it was from the 5-7pm hours. Hoping it slowly shifts east to get me in the goods. Either way not going to worry about it and hop on into the hot tub for a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it'll sorta merge as it strengthens honestly, the western band looks healthier anyways. Should be a fun night tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
