January 14 2019
The final snow reports are in for the first snowstorm of 2019. There is now doubt this was an overachiever, but we were leaning that way going in to it. If you had followed my forecast, then you saw my increase in totals going along with my thoughts that the storm itself would be stronger and farther north. That is what happened. This final snow report shows that northern areas did verify with the snow expectations, but some central Maryland regions got a lot more.
Snow Cover Seen From Space
Needless to say, snow covered the ground and when the sky cleared this afternoon, the visible satellite image showed the snow from space
Below is a breakdown of how much snow fell between Saturday January 12 and Sunday January 13 2019. We are still beta testing our interactive mapping of snow reports compared to my forecast. This feature includes reports from the four NWS Office Coverage areas for our region. These include: Baltimore/Washington; State College in PA, Mount Holly/Phildadelphia for Delmarva; and Wakefield VA for southern Maryland and southeast VA. The list below is primarily from NWS Baltimore/Washington. But I added a few others in where I could.
Grade My Forecast
I do ask that you take a look and then go back to the post you saw this link and give my forecast a grade. Overall I would say this was a B+, but if you are location specific, you may differ. I know some are strict to the numbers, while others will look at the timing that worked out well. The mention of the overachiever potential along with the second surge of Sunday snow may play a role in your grading. I would like to hear what you think.
Since the interactive map may be tough to navigate on some phones, I am also including my forecast map and maps of the reports from some areas in Maryland.

With the help of my friend Jarod Scott, we put together this interactive snow map for our region. You should be able to see my forecast and zoom in to your area to compare.
Eventually we will build in more interactive features for you to be part of the reporting. Please let us know what you think. #FITF
