haudidoody 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. I have NEVER seen the traffic situation like this around here. 2 hours to go seven miles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ravensrule Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 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. We are getting greedy, normally with the upcoming clipper we would be tracking if for days on end and arguing if we could possibly get 2-3".

JeanineJ Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 So I guess we can go pick up the shovels again around 11 pm. The wind is brutal. Count down to 10:32 -- this day went by so fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can zoom in on Tysons Corner (WNW of DC) and pick some cams. Unfortunately, looks horrible. http://wtop.com/?sid...=604381&nid=370 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs.J Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I live out surrounded by farm land and while looking out our back door saw 3 power flashes. We are still up here and hope to keep it that way. Can hear the snow falling off of the trees in our backyard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted January 27, 2011 Author Share Posted January 27, 2011 i would say there is more tree damage than snowmageddon locally even with only 5" of snow and that was a wet snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Balti Zen Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 This storm has crossed over to awesome. Lightning after lightning with accompanying thunder and its just pouring snow. Closing in on 5 inches from this part of the storm, and 3.5 from the surprise earlier. Would love to see if I can get another three to fall to get me near 12 for the storm total. Saving the winter, this storm is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quasievil Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 They sucked here. Seriously. Horrible. Stubborn refusal to listen to what the models were telling them. Made no sense. Snow is coming down absolutely insane here. LOVE IT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gymengineer Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 i would say there is more tree damage than snowmageddon locally even with only 5" of snow and that was a wet snow Yup-- I just posted at 40S that the total from Pepco, BG&E (DC area counties only) and Dominion (NOVA) already substantially exceeds Snowmageddon's peak 218,000 outage.

Four to five inches around the city, I would guess from this part of the storm. 2-3 from the stuff this morning. Pouring snow at the moment and the roads are predictibly not real good.

Solo2 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Frankly, I feel that all the local tv mets and those at LWX should have to donate their salaries for the past 3 days to charity. Obviously that money can be better used. Just my .02. Horrendous, terrible job of informing the public about a potentially serious event that struck during the rush.
