Last yer I 40 in of snow

[GTAIVman]

A heavy snow warning no longer appears. i believe it is now called a blizzard warning.

[helepele123]

What does "EST" stand for?

[epzik8]

[TWCZach]

@epzik8 Thats a different STAR though...

[TWCMax]

Intresting I just uploaded this video a few minutes ago.

[LightningFever86]

Hehe, just 4 years later the Mid-Atlantic got another blizzard!

What's the difference between a *Heavy Snow Warning* and a *Winter Storm Warning*? We've had snowstorms come through here with either warning displayed for them.

[LightningFever86]

The Heavy Snow Warning is no longer issued by the National Weather Service. The Heavy Snow Warning was for when 6"+ of snow will fall in the next 12 hours, or 8"+ in the next 24 hours. This is replaced by the Winter Storm Warning, which means significant amounts of snow, sleet, and/or ice will create dangerous conditions.

@LightningFever86

Let me ask this, then. Why did the NWS replace the Heavy Snow Warning with the Winter Storm Warning? A Winter Storm Warning should be for a storm that produces more than just snow...as you said...snow, sleet and/or ice. But, if a storm produces just snow, the NWS should keep the Heavy Snow Warning or, if snowfall is expected to be less significant, the Snow Advisory. That's just my opinion, of course.

[LightningFever86]

To make the forecasting of winter storms less confusing for the meteorologists at NWS.

BUG SPOTTED: NO ICON IN THE BEGINING

[beanboy89]

That is not a bug. The Baltimore Inner Harbor reporting site does not report sky conditions. The XL would show an "N/A" icon, but the IntelliStar simply omits the icon.

[AQUEMINI331]

Maryland winters are so tame compared to Chicago. A high of 52 degrees in the middle of February? Even Alabama (where I used to live) is colder than that in the winter.

[atl1192]

Well some times the north east gets a la nena and it can get up to 60 in the late winter

[beanboy89]

It looks like you were not getting current conditions because (1) Martin Airport does not report at night and (2) the Inner Harbor reporting station does not report sky conditions, therefore the IntelliStar only reports what information
