vinylfreak89 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 the DCA QPF numbers may end up more "euroesque" Had 2-3 6 hour frames in the .35 .4 range. I agree the euro was probably more right on QPF amounts, but it was still pretty far off on the placement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Um have you read the obs. Most areas struggling to get 2". Leesburgh may have 4-5" Umm, I said above 1K. Looks like the hills did well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clskinsfan Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I have boarded 13.5 for this storm....But I only have about 10 or 11 inches on the ground. Compaction sucks. Was hoping to hit 20 but not a chance now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozz Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 WBAL just did a live shot from York and Timonium rd. and there was literally nothing on the ground. I was just there an hour ago......it's amazing what a little elevation can do. But I think I'll be lucky to hit 5" with the way this is going, it's a very sloppy 3-4" here and not adding up well. I'm just glad I got some cool footage of a few good bands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87storms Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Had enough of loserville so I drove out to centre vile...legit snowstorm in progress. Roads slushy. Plows around. Good rates. Trip success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feloniousq Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Still going hard here. Flake size back to cotton balls again. Seems to be accumulating a little better than previous, but still 5.5-6 tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 the band showing on dox radar is now approaching the bay bridge. lwx radar looks like it's going to make it. if THAT doesn't wow anybody then I'm going back to deep deep sadness and pouring a 12oz glass of bourban.

yoda Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 DOX radar showing a lot of merging all the yellows and reds together into one conglomerate as it moves W... should be interesting to see what it does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ger Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Which model is on track for best verification (so far)? GFS/EURO/That Sordid Little NAM I say the EURO seems to be doing better than I would have liked. Couple things: 1)It suppressed the system a bit further south than either GFS or NAM 2) It had a temperature profile notably warmer than that of the GFS or NAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weathercoins Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 So I'm in NW DC. Thinking of going for a drive to see real snow. Thoughts of best places to go within 60-90 minutes where I can see at least a few inches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WEATHER53 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 .1 at 7a... So maybe .3? Got chided last night for sticking with my "no more than 4" for DCA call. Still a ways to go, storm looks almost stalled and trying to figure out if center is east of our longitude yet? Now is prime radiant sun time now but that will be over in another two hours. I am glad we are getting some accumulating snow as this saves forecasters in general from complete public rancor over those 9-12" maps for immediate DC that were being displayed last night.

Pour me some bourbon too please. Seen some of the heaviest snow I've ever seen without any accumulation whatsoever. Tough. Oh well. Ready for a good torch. We had a shot.... Bring on baseball.

WxUSAF Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Except around like 830 these have been extremely underwhelming bands when in the yellows etc. Absolutely. 20-25dbZ should be good for more than 4mi vis snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 the warm one We'll see who wins on precip. I've got over .5" of QPF. Euro was still too warm on low-level temps (for the surface at least) and NAM was too cold. I'd say GFS was closest just going off memory. It's the crappy precip rates that we're getting that's keeping this all RASNy garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoughts of best places to go within 60-90 minutes where I can see at least a few inches? Just get on 66 West to 267. Plenty out here just over the Loudoun line. Reston, etc closer in have 3-4 as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
