Hank Scorpio Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 wow, the snow has been quite heavy for the past 25 - 30 minutes here in Herndon (about 1.5 miles from the main terminal at IAD). A couple of quick shots from ten minutes ago: For a point of reference, the buildings farthest from me are about .1 miles away, and the toll road which is just past the buildings (.15 miles away) isn't even visible. awesome stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavensbee Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Heavy snow in College Park now, 32.0 degrees. I think the key to this storm was the lack of a radio show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psuhoffman Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 PSUHOFFMAN....what is your estimate for storm totals in this area of the woods from now until 6am? This is your storm right?

spf Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Just took a Jebwalk in Great Falls with the kids and the dog. Insane heavy snow. Snowplow went around our circle twice in fifteen minutes. 5 minutes after the second time around, the streets were covered again. Snow ++ here right now.

thesnowsknows Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 which radar are you looking at. Snow should end from S/W to N/E. There are HOURS of snow left even for me. Yeah I corrected myself when I saw the pivot. The echo loss over the mountains can be misleading sometimes and it scared me haha. Looks beautiful, deform band coming RIGHT over me in Howard county right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
