Hagerstown is about 70 miles NW of D.C. and west of the Blue Ridge Mtns...different climate.

The storm appears to be over in Cumberland. We got skunked a bit last night, around midnight it looked like the precip. was filling back in, but was just light snow off and on. Snow rate picked up around dawn and it snowed pretty hard all day. We only got about 3 additional slushy inches though as it warmed up to 34 or so pretty quickly and cleared blacktop and concrete stayed that way.

My amateur measurement in my back yard was about 8-9 inches total.....but I suspect we got closer to a foot that fell, but much of it melted or was compacted. Still, a really impressive spring storm.

Enjoy the snow....none here 500 miles north of you

You’re right...I checked, you know your Maryland.

Cumberland, MD is interestingly warmer than Hagerstown, even though it is farther west, more in the mountains.
Cumberland average highs are very similar to DC ...some months even warmer!

Hagerstown.......Cumberland.........Washington,DC
38/23.........jan.....41/22.......jan........43/29
41/26.........feb.....46/24.......feb........47/31
51/32.........mar.....58/32......mar........56/38
63/43.........apr......68/41......apr.........67/47
72/52.........may.....77/51......may.......75/57
81/61.........jun......85/60.......jun........84/66
85/66.........jul.......89/65.......jul.........88/71
83/64.........aug.....88/63.......aug.......87/70
75/56.........sep.....80/55.......sep........79/62
65/44.........oct......69/43.......oct........68/51
54/36.........nov.....57/54.......nov........58/41
42/27.........dec.....45/27.......dec........47/33

Hagerstown is cooler for sure, though Cumberland lows are one degree cooler most months,
not surprisingly DC has much warmer lows...strong UHI.

Could Islip win this poll??? 9" in 2 hours?? heavy banding over them sure will do that. Seeing some pics and hearing reports of 6-10" on the ground in areas of NJ and Long Island now. Wow!

7:25-11:25pm loop. Focus on central Long Island. They are on pace for a 15-20" storm! More purples coming. Steady band there.

Upper Low off the coast now and catching up to the 994mb Low off the coast.

Bummer. Nothing in SE CT as of 3 AM Thursday, as reported by relative. Rained all day Weds. Not a single plow has gone by in the area - none needed. Just a mere dusting. Where's that promised 8 to 12"?

Insane on Long Island! Talk about missing us by miles. I only got 4.6" across the way. Melted to 0.36" liquid. 12:1 ratios.


WOW on Long Island!! 12-18"!

Loop last 4 hrs with storm reports.


Most people are sleeping so not a lot of reports. Some are from fire departments, some from NWS Employees, some from public and trained spotters.


Note the "18+" report, that's 19.2". This software maxes out at 18" (don't ask)

Upper Low was like 50 miles southeast more than projected. That 50 miles made the difference in many areas that busted. Air was too dry and heavy precip never made it there.
