Swiscaster Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Looks like another 3-6" will come down in Fairfax county and east before it shuts off. So if you already have 8", you could get up to 14, maybe 15" Hmmmm....I feel my snow depth is not changing. I think it is compacting and melting as it accumulates. Stuck around the 6-inch mark.

SomeguyfromTakomaPark Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Just eyeballing it -- I'd say around 4" here in Petworth. 13th St NW is a mess and the power has flickered several times. Numerous flashes of lightning, though I do have to wonder whether some of those are transformers... I live on 13th also. Just passed 4 inches here. Have been out a bit but haven't noticed any lightning. Hoping to see some. Thinking we can pull out 7-8 inches here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravenmaniac Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Looks like for Columbia to BWI another 2-3 hours of moderate to heavy snow based on radar trends. Looks like w end up with 8-10 from this evening's batch of snow. If we see another 4-6 inch storm this winter we hit our average, guess that's why you can never give up on a DC/Balt winter when trying to get it's seasonal average, one big storm and you only need another moderate one to do it. I've had 1" of snow in 20 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
River Hill Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 What you drinking? Elkton,MD 31.1 heavy snow. Got about 5 inches this morning and about 4-5 inches so far this evening. Dogfish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solo2 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 It's hard to be bummed with about 8" on the day, but the heaviest snow seems to have stayed 15mi to my s and e. Looks like we may get another 1" or so. Oh well. On to Friday Morning . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlizzardNole Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 PROTECT YOUR SHRUBS FOLKS! I just got back inside -- we have 7-8" and mod snow. That stuff is VERY wet and dense, and will crush your shrubs and small evergreen trees. I have about 15 or so Leylands and American Hollies ranging from 10-30 feet tall, and they are bending every which way. I took a rake and got the snow off the lower branches, then shook the tree with the rake the best I could to get most of it off. If you have trees like those, you might want to try this. What a storm! It kinda reminds me of that intense banding snowstorm we got around 2006 or 2007 that really crushed esp. Howard Co. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeanineJ Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Cool link, we shoveled but you wouldn't know it. We got the Harford Co. emergency message saying to stay off the roads as it's white out conditions. Well I could see that by looking out my window. Yup I'm looking at similar rates here in DC, pretty amazing. I wonder how long we can hold on to this. It's piling up in a hurry. Pretty cool to check this out and see in real time the effects its having. http://www.spc.ncep.....php?sector=17# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digrox Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Just measured 6" here in north Arlington-- more than I expected from looking outside. Still coming down in buckets, and more lightning/thunder while I was outside. So beautiful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isnice Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Congrats guys on your first major snowfall of the season. Now, we in the New York City area won't have to listen to your whining for at least a week! Enjoy guys, you deserve it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesnowsknows Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Most likely about two to three more hours of heavy snow to moderate snow. Going out to shovel/admire/measure. Including this AM thinking about eight plus so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxeyeNH Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Hey any info would be appreciated. Im in NH got a call from my sister in law. She and small child has been stuck on Rt 50 in Tyson Corner area in car not moving for 5 hours. Nothing is moving. Trying to find out if anything on the roads is moving in DC area. She is frantic. Any input would be appreciated so I can call her back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psuhoffman Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 yep, now get working on next week GFS and Canadian like snow and the Euro wants a Lakes cutter will the Euro fold to GFS and Canadian? I guess we'll see well we know every storm now has to have 3"/hr rates and frequent lighting, thats obviously the new pattern persistence forecasting FTW just messing with you a little, enjoy the snow. I am taking a couple days off before I start really looking into that much, but from what I have seen a weaker surface low would be better. Stronger would likely cut since there is absolutely no blocking and not even an east based -nao this time. A weaker overrunning solution could work though. Way too early.
