March 22 2018

The totals are in for the Spring Snowstorm, the 4th Nor’easter in a row that finally hit the Mid Atlantic. This was the largest snow event since our all time record storms in January 2016 and the largest March snowfall since 2013.  This was talked about for over a week and definitely not an easy forecast. I was very cautious of large snow amounts due to warm ground, late March sun angle on the Equinox, and temperatures near/above freezing. In this case, the heavy snowfall rates were stronger than the sun and winter weather won.

The regional official reporting stations were on the lower end and will not serve justice to this storm. Baltimore’s BWI had 4.7″ yet are on the map in the general 6 to 8 inch zone.  How does this map and the local maps in the slider below compare to what you had?

*Note: I have links to our new nonprofit Just In Power Kids and the Shine On Shirts at the bottom of this post. Thank you all for your kind words and support for this incredible venture. 

 

Airport Reports

BWI = 4.7″ Storm Total; Seasonal Total = 15.2″

Washington National = 4.1″ Storm Total; Seasonal Total = 7.8″

Dulles = 4.8″ Storm Total *Record for the date

Seasonal Total = 11.9″

Harrisburg International = 14.2″ Storm Total; *Record 11.9 for March 21; Seasonal Total = 33.7″

 

Compacting Snow = Lower Depth Than What Fell

I was in the snow zone and had 11 inches on the ground Tuesday night with Round 1. The places that were cleared (like my driveway) had an additional 9 inches of snow on Wednesday. We had a Toal of 20 inches measured in multiple locations. But the total ground depth compacted to a range of 14 to 16 inches. Yet according to the NWS map we are in the 12″+ zone.  Snowfall is not always reflected well on these maps.

Below is a look at my final snowfall forecast and the local maps from the NWS Baltimore/Washington region. That is all that is available at post time. Please compare and then grade my forecast. While there was an adjustment on the higher end of my forecast, I hope the information I have shared was easy to understand and helped you plan.

What went wrong:

  • Tuesday March 20: The initial sleet and snow in the morning was more intense than expected. That covered the ground and allowed more snow to add up in the colder zones. I expected 1 to 3 inches by evening mostly on the grass. Instead many were already in the 6 to 10 inch range. THAT WAS JUST ROUND 1.
  • The arrival of the snow Wednesday was 2 to 3 hours later than expected, this also kept the snow around longer on the back end. But I did discuss it lasting all day and into the night.

What went right:

  • The storm came together as expected.
  • This was a two day event with the biggest hot on the second day.
  • When I adjusted for the first day snow totals, the second phase verified most of my final forecast.

GRADE MY FORECAST

Please see the maps and stats below, then go back to the social media post where you saw this and Grade My Forecast as best you see it. I give myself a B-. I lost the most points with the day 1 snow in the snow zone. Then with snow beating the sun for stickage. Overall, this storm did work out and overachieve.

My Final Forecast

The map is the same, but totals increased just a little from my initial forecast. There are two numbers. The Additional Snowfall from Tuesday evening through Wednesday AND the FINAL TOTAL.

A: 12 to 20  inches total

B: 6 to 12 inches Additional Snow.  TOTAL SNOW: 12 to 20 inches 

  • Yes, many parts of this region already had 4 to 8 inches as of Tuesday evening. That was the overachiever. The rest is what close to what I originally expect to start adding up from this point forward.

C: 6 to 12 inches Additional Snow. TOTAL SNOW 8 to 14 inches

D: 4 to 8 inches TOTAL *If I bust here, it will be because I am too low. I am banking on snow compacting and melting here.

E: Slushy 3 to 6 inches. Snow will be expanding during the day and into Wednesday night on the Eastern Shore. The daytime snow will battle temps in the mid 30s and sun angle. If there are heavier rates of snow, that could compensate the melting and go higher.
