psuhoffman Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 some have asked about temps, as soon as the sky clears in a few hours temps will drop fast, probably bottom out around 28 in the city and 25 in the suburbs. This will freeze the slush on roads, morning will be a complete mess. Might be a good day to get "sick". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravensrule Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 We had 1.73" of liquid at DCA according to what I'm hearing on the TV, can anyone confirm... lol. I wonder how much of that fell as "snow." BWI is at 1.80" for the day which shattered the old record for the day which was 1.33". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I heard a report on FUX45 that a plane sitting on the runway at BWI was struck by lightning. full of passengers at the time. Wild...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravensrule Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I was about to call it at 12" total over an hour ago but snow picked back up and its been snowing steady the last hour, pushing close to 13" now. Its like concrete out there too, its going to be impossible to melt unless we get a true thaw, a day or two around 40 wont do it. Is that including this morning or just tonight?

No doubt it was 10" but it is so heavy who knows what it is now...not much melting going on but compaction is a biotch. We were under the deform band (as usual) for quite some time....that super band started in Western Loudoun and took its time going through here...snow went from heavy to orgasmic then back to heavy. I would bet over 1.50 qpf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psuhoffman Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Is that including this morning or just tonight? yes, its hard to tell because even up here there was some compacting and I am not accounting for that, and its hard for me to say how much over 12 exactly because I can't find my yard stick and the ruler stopped being useful a couple hours ago. I am estimating from where I shoveled and how much new snow fell there the last few hours. I would probably say I finish with 14 but it could be as high as 15 if I wanted to account for compaction. My 1000 feet elevation helped a lot I am sure. Either way I am not that stuck up on a specific number, it looks real nice out there and I am happy.
