Feb 22nd/23rd "There's no way..." Obs Thread

[NorthArlington101]

Gonna take another walk soon but gotta be at least a little over 2” in Arlington. Heavy wet snow + compaction might make this a tricky one to total. But can’t complain given some of ya’lls situations.

His location reads Crofton. You desperately need medication. Deal with not having snow better.

There was a clear trend across guidance for the heavier snows to occur right along the MA coast up into eastern NJ and Long Island. Not sure about Philly, but they probably should do ok.

Yeah for sure. But NWS has stuck to their guns on the higher totals. Interested to see how it plays out.

Not really lol. They downgraded the 5-10” WSW in Howard to a 1-3 advisory I believe

I expected the norlun to be more norlun’y

Big screw zone basically our whole area, but oh well that’s miller B’s for you.  Eastern shore not doing too well either? 

[Terpeast]

Based on radar trends I think I am done with heavy rates. Light wind-blown snows should continue at least a couple hours before tapering. Not sure how much that’ll add to my 2.5” total, maybe make a run for 3”

Nah, they are getting obliterated. Family west of Rehoboth is over 6” and just getting crushed with 1+”/hr rates. DE will do just fine with this one.

Just better off to ignore. The political board is still closed so some need to kill their time here.

Lol so you're actually small enough to expect that people track everyone's comings and goings across this entire forum? 

You're making this worse for yourself in public.

Oh dang that the expectation for you area has dropped that much? Oof.  And yeah what is that, like 3 or 4 beach blizzards in one decade? I'd like to know what if any precedent there is for that.

I made a post early this morning about the forecast for here being too bullish. I said it should be more like 8-12, but I would favor closer to 8 at this point.

While it stings that we're missing out on a legitimate late season snowfall in DC/Baltimore, I'm happy to see our Delmarva friends score a storm. We cash in so many times while they get stuck at 34 and drizzle.

Okay will do. I didn't realize they were willfully spiteful.

Going to bed will take photos in the a.m. while it's still supposed to be snow through the morning

Although...is this like their 3rd blizzard in the last decade?

[Nomz]

Looks like the western band is dwindling. Game on for DC north/south

Although in recent winters its been the opposite, so I am afraid you arent going to have much agreement on this one from those in the NW burbs.

being interested in people's snow chases is being "small"?

It was gonna be too warm, too dry, sun was gonna be too high, accumulation was gonna pack too much

White out here in Felton, DE 19943.  Winds ripping and everything I shoveled out @6:00 has a new 4"-5" on it.  Lights have been flickering for the past 2 hours

My uncle lives there. Those bands are pivoting west, hopefully to my yard.
