Ian Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 getting blitzed right now tho the mini band is moving away.. pure glory to come - about as good as we could have hoped for around here it looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnis Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Technically there's no such thing as SN++. +SN (heavy snow) is around 1/4 to 1/2 mi. visibility. A good M1/8 visibility would be what I consider to be ++SN (fixing the order because that's how it should be ) I call B.S. on your visibility estimate. Heavy snow in Damascus.

snownut Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Lost power here for the past 10-15 minutes, but thankfully it came back on. Gonna get hairy here this evening if we get winds with the passage of the upper low. Still without power here snow has been over for several hours now yet incredible happy that there has been little tree damage. Taken a ton of pictures of this maybe once in a lifetime event?

EastCoast NPZ Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 It snowed in Stephens City until about an hour ago. The good snow ended around noon. Despite moderate snow falling, accumulations peaked around 10:30 or so, then the temps jumped up into the mid-30s, and snow began melting. I measured 2 inches. It's a little disappointing to see so much wasted snow; if the snow had started 6 hours earlier we'd surely had another couple inches w/o the sun. Then I realized that it's October, so I can't be too disappointed. My in-laws, who live in Point O'Woods in Warren County (elev. 1500'), had nearly 6-inches, and have been w/o power since around 10 AM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I like seeing the 25+dbz returns filling in back in front royal. We aren't done for a little while. Maybe another strong band will fill in before it's all done. Howard county is getting hammered pretty good right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrederickWX Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Harpers Ferry, earlier this afternoon. Bit of a dicey drive over there from the house! Second shot is Rt-340, which is mostly four-lane expressway either side of Harpers Ferry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnis Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 It is impossible to get a super accurate measure of accumulations due to leaves, warm ground, etc..In my back yard there are places that are 3 plus inches and there are places with much less. Also, there was a lot of melting in between bands and during periods of rain. It seems like forecasts from NWS have been very accurate in MBY. ahttp://www.americanwx.com/bb/index.php?re places at 1 " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
