SnowenOutThere Posted 3 hours ago Author Share Posted 3 hours ago I'd say that this thread more than lived up to its name. What a fun little storm. Arguably stuff like this is the best snows. 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man we really suck at snow for the last 5 years . We’re missing a lot of these nickel and dime events, which eases some of the pain. But it is kinda stupid. I don’t think I spent more than 30 minutes tracking this one…I knew my fate going in once I saw where the western edge of the precip was showing up on the models.

wawarriors4 Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago It’s least 2” if not a bit more on grass and colder surfaces in Spotsylvania. Slush on roads and parking lots. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T. August Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Finally 33° but now it’s too light to accumulate. Spots just above 300’ are over an inch. Oh well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be like if in July, the high in Baltimore was 104 one day, then only 53 at solar noon the next day. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are conditions in the icebox in Mt. @mappy 3.) What about way up north above the arctic circle with @psuhoffman? Nada for psu and me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlizzardNole Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Moderate snow and starting to stick on grass a few miles south of Prince Frederick. Can't believe it was 85 yesterday! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winter Wizard Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago If you're curious, the highest temperature DCA ever recorded the day before accumulating snow prior to today was 74 degrees on 4/7/72. If DCA recorded more than a trace, it would obliterate the record. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terpeast Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago So is this little storm going to change your overall grade for the winter? I had it at a B-, but now bumped it up to a solid B. Congrats to those who got an inch+! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
