Friday November 16 2018

Now that the storm is gone and the final burst of snow has moved out, the initial assessment this morning was what may have turned back to ice overnight. The last gasp of snow passed through early this morning and the radar loop showed it was the quick hit it was supposed to be. Temperatures in most areas are above freezing and will warm into the afternoon. So we get to thaw out.

Morning Radar:

Rain (green) and snow (blue) between 3:16 AM to 4:39 AM

How Much Snow Fell?

See the storm reports in our new interactive map here. Thanks Jared Scott.

The storm that broke a 110 year of snow record also put us over the top for the wettest year on record! It is official and we have 6 weeks to add to the total:

Rainfall 2018 Total: Rank Wettest Year On Record In Baltimore

For the first time on record, Baltimore had over 63 inches of rain in a single year!

We have quiet pattern ahead is good news up through Thanksgiving as temps warm and the next weekend storm looks warm. Even better news I wanted to share is the rain on the way for California. It will be a while, but a rainy pattern is a Thanksgiving they can be thankful for. More on that below:
