BethesdaWX Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Walked around the house...there are limbs everywhere, all the neighbors have several limbs down. A cherry blossom tree broke in half. Measuring about 7.5-8", there has been alot of compaction though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebman Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Storm is trucking FAST NEward, radar is clearing. We picked up 5 inches tonight, 1 additional inch this morning. Biggest storm of the season. We now have 10 inches on the season. We understood this was a fast mover. Let's hope against hope that we won't have to contend with mild air in the coming days, although the zonal pattern does argue for 40s in the daytimes, 30s at night. oh well. Easy come, easy go............................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curlyq Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I am mistaken! It is DC government that is 2 hours. The huge "OPM" emblem on the page tripped me up. Sorry to jump the gun! http://origin.wusa9....32938&catid=158 I did see the dc gov't was 2 hr delay on wtop. Given that DC is getting more snow than me, our carpool decided not to make the trip tomorrow. The gridlock today was insane. Reminds me of 9/11 trying to get out of the city. I bet a lot of people say the h*$ll with it tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psuhoffman Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 9 down. 13 for day. 11 here now, probably finish with 12, your going to beat me by 2 or 3, maybe you can make a run at 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scuddz Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 well that was an adventure. Just shoveled at least 6 inches around my car, saw a transformer blast while I was out. Not ours though. Nice to see the plows driving around with the blades up though, thats well thought out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvaspartan Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 If anyone is trying to get home to WV don't bother...MARC is a mess (Power Lines down on the tracks), Rte 340 Into WV from MD is shut down and expected to be for at least another 4 hours (3 Tractor Trailers jack knifed going up hill to Harpers Ferry), Rte 9 is closed from Outside Hillsboro to past the State Line, and Rte 7 is reported to be shut from Just West of Leesburg to Berryville.

Curlyq Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 the latest radar looks like southern Mont. county and points sout and east are catching the wrap around band (moving counter clockwise). Also, another band crossing the bay and heading east. Congrats to those folks. Bump up those totals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiltonHeadWx Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Closing in on 8" here in Hagerstown. No problems with power outages that I am aware of in this area, though the snow is wet and heavy. Trees and shrubs are thickly covered. Temp is just a tad below freezing.

heavensbee Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Did you measure the snow at any point? Best place I found to measure was in front of Montgomery Hall on an untouched table. Only 4" there as of now so I take it since the snow is so wet, it's been compacted. Incredibly sloppy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Organizing Low Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I feel your pain, but you have to admit this has surpassed any expectations we may have had 2 days ago. By md standards this is a big snow! its a big snow anywhere potent ULL with quick transition from mix to heavy snow and thunder at rush hour, very nice our highest impact events are not the 1+ foot, but the arctic squall lines that drop a few inches, drop temps rapidly and cause a prolonged ground blizzard these are the ones people remember.......the dramatic ones.

NJDC Wx Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 ugh right after scuddz post giant flash with transformer going .. could hear it so must be close. better charge phone up. This 5 hour period (5-10pm or so) was worse than last February in terms of impact. Unbelievable the amount of cars I saw stuck on the road from Big Hunt to Van Ness. The main roads are an absolute disaster. Plows can't get to them because of bumper to bumper traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haudidoody Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 If you're interested, check out the Route 124 and International Drive Camera on trafficland. It's too funny. Down to light snow here with perhaps 5". Melting with extreme prejudice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCWeatherGuy Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Checking in from Glover Park in NW DC. Power has been down since 7:30 or so. About 6" of snow at my wind-shielded measurement site. Moderate snow still falling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 4" there as of now so I take it since the snow is so wet, it's been compacted. Incredibly sloppy. I think I know what you're talking about, but that I believe that table is under a bunch of trees so 4" is probably too low. I actually live in Montgomery.

Dr No Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Only 6.75 on the snowboard at 9PM- the snow is so wet it is heavily compacted. Likely closer to 10" fell total. One large felled (entire) tree that I need to cut up this weekend, and a blown transformer at the edge of the neighborhood. Likely countless other trees down all around- plenty of snaps. It looks like Dec 19 along the plowed streets due to the water content. probably 7 or 8: 1 ratios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
