WxUSAF Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Measured in 3 spots: 4.2", 4.7", 4.4". So, calling it 4.5" on average. Still snowing moderately, I expect the warning to verify before it shuts off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVclimo Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Sun angle ftw Winter can seem so short at our latitude. At least we can get 90 degree temps the other 9 months of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebman Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 35 degrees with regular rain. Man this rain is really sticking on all surfaces - I am so stoked that I want to throw a block party with live hip hop entertainment with Biz Markie and beer. This is a major winter storm event for Northern Virginia!!!1!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clueless Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Pretty underwhelming. Maybe .5 or a smudge less. I think our October snow was the highlight of the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchnick Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 there's the problem at BWI http://www.erh.noaa.gov/data/obhistory/KBWI.html no qpf to cool the atmosphere as I warned yesterday "beware of the inevitable shift north", it happened and PA got it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needbiggerboat Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I meant to say there's 1/4" and it's barley coming down. I'm sorry I've seen wheat fall from the sky but never barley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amped Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 It's starting to get funny how much this winter sucks. 1-3" is too bullish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonjon Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I doubt we even end up with more than 3" here from this event. There were even temp issues with accumulation in Garrett County when I was at work today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grothar of Herndon Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 On commute home from DC hit rain/snow mix in McLean and then all snow around Wolftrap exit on Toll Road. Snowing in Herndon with cartop accumulation on cars not moved today. We will be lucky for a trace when all is done as BL killed us out this way once again. The past two storm warm BL and light precipitation prevented any measurable snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herb@MAWS Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 4:30pm -- temp down to 36.5 with snow beginnoing to mix in more noticeably. 4:55pm -- went to all snow at 4:45pm temp 36.2. Steady --small flakes. 6:00pm -- 34.9 and 0.02" precip for day. Like last weekend, getting best snows right before/at dusk. Grass is tinted white, plus sticking to all the usual areas (desks, cartops...). Steady, but light, snow. 7:00pm -- Temp 34.4 w/steady light snow. At least all is slightly whitened except sidewalk and roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deck Pic Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I'm guessing you guys must be well below average this year like the rest of us. Do you know how much you've had this winter ? 78" not counting today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVclimo Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 78" not counting today Thanks. The thing about jonjon's area is they could still get another 78" from here on out. Or 30" and probably still end up BN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Balti Zen Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Yeah. Some flakes in the neighborhood after rain in downtown proper. More pure crap for snowfall. Still stuck on 1.5 inches for this disastrous crapstick of a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 You wanna be a smarty pants on the photo, that's fine... but yes, in the second photo there was 1.25" on the stump in the photo... so yes it's just more than an inch okay?!? Geez... There are a lot of snarky posters on here most of whom live in and around DC. So the jealousy is understandable. Baltimore posters for the most part are better probably because Baltimore often does pretty well compared to DC in some situations, except for one poster from Kingsville. Then, there is Ji.

Dude, you are in Westminster. I doubt anyone around here is really jealous of that. I certainly am not since I have a home that averages about 4 times as much snow as you...

I am not sure where Matt got that number but it is lower than that in Oakland, at least. I am not there to measure every event but they have not had a good winter. Still blows the barn doors off winter around these parts, of course. No ice on the lake has sucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could easily have an epic March (and into April), though. Folks up there are expecting a deep freeze and massive LES barrage to come any day now...

Solo2 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Surprised to say that I measured the snow in a few places (railings, picinic tables, etc), and all had 1 - 1 1/4". Some of the grassy areas seem to have done even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
