mitchnick Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 really, really strange it stopped snowing, the skies cleared, the moon is out....and it started snowing again I'm trying to figure out out where it's coming from but radar says there's nothing around me like I said, strange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Well that certainly was a quick mover. Done over here on the upper Delmarva. Snowed for 2.5 hours and picked up 1.5 inches. Decent event and good call by NWS (1-2). It came down moderately and looked more impressive than I was expecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIC Airport Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Officially 1.4" storm total today at Richmond. 2012-13 season total up to 3.2". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterWxLuvr Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Measured just about 1 1/8, rounded down to 1". I thought the RAP did really well with this. It pretty much nailed the when and where snow would fall. And where it wouldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrendaM Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 1" here in SE York County, PA....not much, but it certainly was nice having an early dismissal this afternoon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steinweather Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Got about 2 inches in Rehoboth Beach, DE. Light snow showers coming down still. Looking at webcams it is still snowing in places in Northern DE but nothing on the radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOVAForecaster Posted January 26, 2013 Author Share Posted January 26, 2013 Underperformance, eh? More like around what I thought earlier this morning when people said: This analysis is poor. Do you remember what radar looked like the other night? Most managed an inch from that. Some that were lucky enough to be under heavier returns, received more. 1-3 today is certainly possible. At the very least, I think most equal the inch they received Wednesday night/Thursday pre dawn. The difference is that Wednesday nights storm didn't have to deal with as dry of an airmass as we have right now. This combined with the poor reflection on the radar right now and the downsloping effect of the mountains leads me to believe that the models are seeing virga and that the immediate DC metro area will see minimum effects from this system, and that a dusting is more likely than 1" or more. Maybe I'm a pessimist and my analysis is wrong, but I'm going out on a limb and saying that this isn't going to be what some here think it's going to be.

Ian Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I mean...I got an inch. I wasn't expecting anything more...It was generally in the area of expected at least in a vacuum. I think forecasts were higher in a lot of spots for this one than the last tho and the last was better for most spots at least around here. The dry air was less of an impact than lack of moisture/dry slot and quick movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dry air was less of an impact than lack of moisture/dry slot and quick movement. Yeah agree on all points. I think I may also be skewed because I was not awake for the clipper. This one was much more visible - I think I might have gotten a hair more with this system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one was much more visible - I think I might have gotten a hair more with this system. It's always nice to see snow but the time expended on these two systems was not necessarily worth the outcome. This one was frustrating because for some reason most of us bought into the model agreement earlier in the week at least to a degree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast NPZ Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Measured just under 1" imby, not sure to round up or down. Don't like rounding up. Very light snow throughout, though a little heavier around 3:30. Began about 2:30 ended about 7 PM. Mitch reported the same thing that happened here: the sun came out here about 4:30 but the snow continued to fall despite broken skies. Kept that up another 2.5 hours but we only picked up another 1/4" or so. About what I expected, and at least everything is covered in white. Was just enough snow that I could take my little one tobaganning. Given the temp, it was a great day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vastateofmind Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I mean...I got an inch. I wasn't expecting anything more... Yep. Based on how fast this ended up moving, I'm grateful for the coating to .2" that we got here in SE FfxCo. It was a pretty snowfall to watch, and in this kind of winter...well, I'll take what we can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Got another inch. 2" for the week, which pretty much beats last year's winter. *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Looks like a bit more than an inch in Columbia. Maybe 1.2" by eyeball? Matches nearby storm reports. We had snow on snow with temps in the teens and low 20s, isn't this the promised land? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickinBaltimore Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I'd say we got about 1" here. Looks nice outside though and the boys had a blast playing in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disc Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Measured .7" of snow here. Lynchburg's official total is .8" and Roanoke is 1.5". Glad to see another local on here. The 1.5" report pretty much matches up IMBY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wonderdog Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 While amounts were what was expected for a couple of days now, based on some of the comments, the bar has really been lowered as to what constitutes a good storm and what we will settle for. This storm was a P.O.S. Just one weenie's opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nw baltimore wx Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 About .75 here. With the combination of frozen ground, the leftovers from yesterday, and today's freshening, I was able to xc ski the fairways of the golf course across the street. Nice lite event but I want more.

mattie g Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Just a freshening of the 1.5" from the clipper, but it was really nice walking around with the dog this evening after the snow ended. Really chilly, but quite the serene landscape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
