This storm was probably a disappointment for a lot of us, however the system behaved relatively well to what I had expected.
Here is what I forecasted compared to what actually had fallen
Overall the snow amounts were just a little bit less than what I had expected. Otherwise they were pretty spot on I feel.
Here is a list of the accumulations at towns and cities across, MD, PA, WV and VA to verify that graphic above and for your amusement.
Ski Liberty saw around 5.5 inches of Snow!
Taneytown saw 2 inches
Areas around Baltimore saw little to no snow :(

I will also mention that the storm switched to freezing rain or rain at an earlier time than I hard forecasted for the general Carroll County area. It had switched around 1:15 PM when I had thought it would sleet till 4 and switch to rain then. This mistake lead to a slight overestimate in my snowfall forecast.
