WxUSAF Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 All snow in Columbia now, little slush layer on the deck. Driving back from Baltimore about half an hour ago, it was all rain until after I got off 95 near Columbia and drove north on 100. Then it turned into SNRA.

TradeWinds Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Just drove from Frederick to IAD. Dusting line was Leesburg and once on toll road, it was a rain/snow battle. Pretty much all snow now at Dulles but nothing on ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalcottWx Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I'm guessing the organization of the storm offshore is what resulted in the snowhole over some area like mine.. pulled some moisture away off the coast from us.. thoughts from anyone else? thats all i can think of to explain it.

mattie g Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 It was a snow/rain mix when I left work in PG at around 4. It was pretty much a light rain as I got within a few miles either side of the Potomac, then more flakes mixed in as I got further west on the Beltway. But between Springfield and home - only a few miles NNW and perhaps a little higher elevation - it was mostly snow. But it wasn't sticking at all. 34* with some flakes dropping like a rock because they're so wet. Thank God it's not 55 and sunny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driving back from Baltimore about half an hour ago, it was all rain until after I got off 95 near Columbia and drove north on 100. Then it turned into SNRA. A bit OT, but do you think the elevation in that area around rt.100 next to Howard High makes a difference? Some places around there are over 500'.

Ellinwood Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Gotta admit I bit on the hype on this one and brought the 1" line further south than I felt comfortable doing... turns out my gut feeling was right, and even that was overdone! Not looking forward to my verification map tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalcottWx Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 setting the bar even lower than your low bar is usually a good strategy here. Saw most.. including lwx go pretty decent for the event.. i was thinking even lower than what i drew.. but the influence of people who have degrees saying more was possible lured me in.. that and the fact (of course) forecasting more rather than less is pleasing. The BL had me worried all along, should have went with my gut instinct. Oh well. Might not fair so badly around the BWI/DCA metros but I'm pretty sure a big bust out west. EDIT: just saw ellinwood's post... seems we both fell for the same trap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha I ninja'd you It wasn't so much what others were forecasting as it was the amount of QPF the models were spitting out with decent temps aloft... DCA and IAD were forecast to have around 0.15-0.20"+ of QPF, and they'll end up with around 0.1" for this event. Add the rain/snow line being further north than expected and you get crap snow totals.
