MN Transplant Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Main roads are clear, secondary roads that have been treated are good, but neighborhood roads are very slick. Drifted about 4 ft on a very low speed right turn on a downhill. Very glad that the morning snow verified. Would have been disappointing for it all to fall overnight.

Solo2 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Just shoveled a powdery 1" from the driveway with light flurries that are still falling. The sun is out now. A neighbor told us that 270 is bad but that 28 is fine all the way down into MoCo. Pretty much the same here.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have gone to bed earlier. I managed to sleep through 98% of the good part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Balti Zen Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Models handled this well for Balt north. Light snow, about 1/2 an inch at my house, city to the south did a pinch better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clskinsfan Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Couple of verification pics. The obligatory deck rail photos/ruler. The first dark mark is 2". It looked like 1 5/8" but will just go with 1.5. I def need a new ruler. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1359032910.731981.jpg ImageUploadedByTapatalk1359032932.528866.jpg Confirmed. I am measuring more in some spots. But I am going with 1.5 as well. Nice event. And good call Ian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePhotoGuy Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I would say about 1.75. I am right near the power plant that many were talking about. It was a nice surprise this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 I'm getting -SN with better flake size....just measured 1" maybe it will snow straight into round 2 tomorrow Got about .75-1" here. 1" mainly on elevated metal stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Still snowing lightly in Burke, with the occasional less light burst. I woke up for a baby feeding at 2 and everything was white, got up for another at 6 and measured just under 1.25". Haven't measured again, but we may have added .25" since then. We've been lucky to be in the path of those "streaming" returns coming from the NW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast NPZ Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Pleasantly surprised this morning by 1.75" IMBY. Wonderful powdery snow. Sun out now. 18F. Great morning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87storms Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 ok, scratch that 1st measurement of 1/8th that i said earlier (that was from my balcony...which apparently is a bad place to measure). i can confirm that we had close to an inch here in bethesda row (measured in a few different spots).

87storms Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 That seems impossible. that's because it didn't happen lol. bad 1st measurement. went for a walk to confirm. i'm never measuring off my balcony again. i would say we had about 0.9" here.

Scuddz Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 dusting is one of my less favorite weather words.. not sure what it means. that and trace since most people -- even mets -- dont report it right. I call anything less than 1 inch, a dusting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nw baltimore wx Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 The roads up here are horrible shape. Ramps off of 70 haven't been touched. I don't think roads were pre treated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scuddz Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 That being said, I think I could manage to call either a dusting or 1.001" for Columbia this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 I call anything less than 1 inch, a dusting I think it's more than a trace but less than .1" but maybe it's anything so it can always verify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxmeddler Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 1.8" at IAD and 2.0" at BWI per the NWS public info statement. Although, I think some of that 2.0" at BWI is power plant induced, but its snow none the less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 A dusting is that light snow that accumulates in the gutters and falls between blades of grass. The 0.5" range is what I call a coating. Personal semantics of course. Nice numbers out of IAD and BWI. I may have to revise since it continued to snow after my measurement.
