Snowpocalypse Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Tom Tassylmyer on channel 11 in Baltimore going 6-12" for me and DC, but 3-6" for the southern half of Baltimore city and east of 95. I missed it, what did he have for cecil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueapple Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Hoping someone can help me out here. I'm trying to find the page on NWS that would show hourly snowfall amounts for IAD. I have a friendly wager with a friend of mine for total snowfall at IAD (and hourly accumulations at various times throughout the day). All I found was this, which wouldn't show snowfall amounts: http://w1.weather.gov/obhistory/KIAD.html Don't think the NWS issues hourly snowfall updates.

swimmatte Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 That's where I played golf on Christmas Eve. Starting lightly snowing on #5. By the turn there was a fine dusting on the greens. On #13 the balls starting looking like Saturn and its rings after a putt. We had to quit on #15. I was using an orange ball and still lost it in the snow on the fairway. Good times.. I've played there too, decent track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ji Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Yeah guys I came to front royal va, the holiday inn in at is right next to a golf course...mountains in distance, a snowstorm here is going to look nice. GFS and NAM seriously placed a small bullseye over me...My "goal" is to surpass 20", well see, think I can do it?! Wasn't nemo enough bro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I'm out of practice doing that so I'm preparing for the emotional ouchies later. Yeah, it's been a while, but I think I remember what happened last time: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herb@MAWS Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Was anyone so unfortunate to have to visit the grocery store today? I did not, but I imagine that it was a zoo. Traffic north of DC on on I-95 toward B'more was noticeably heavier earlier. Food store had more than usual number of folks in it at only 4pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmlwx Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Not sure if mentioned but Eric Horst with Millersville updated his forecast earlier 5-10 for DC and then 8-16 just north and west. That's pretty bullish. http://snowball.millersville.edu/~wic/storm_outlooks/latest.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty bullish. http://snowball.millersville.edu/~wic/storm_outlooks/latest.jpg I don't know...that looks pretty good to me. Might not get 10" in DC or 16" at IAD, but we'd definitely fall somewhere within those ranges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GATECH Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Is it just me or does the weather channel have like 8 different snowfall maps going on. Not that I rely on them or even watch them very often, but I swear I am getting 1 to 3, 3 to 5 or 6 to 12. Also, their use of the clown maps from the various models is getting tiresome, and I think just confuses the masses. Grow some and make a forecast, with one snowfall map. Sheesh.

Heisy Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Wasn't nemo enough bro? The time period from 2003 to 2010 with college I didn't see more than a 6" snowstorm with my own 2 eyes. In some of Philly's recent storms NE Philly got screwjobbed compared to surrounding areas. I'm just catching up with it. Plus I absolutely, absolutely, absolutely prefer heavy wet snow compared to fluff. I am really looking forward to this one even more than the NE Blizzard for some reason. What do you think I end up with out here Ji? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clueless Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Ok. Now that I have a drink in my hand, whoa... I think zwyts called it eons ago for March, no? And QVectorman (?)' also pegged this time frame. So kudos to those who put their name on a lr for it to verify. And thank you to the usual folks who always have great input and analysis for bearing with, what seemed, like an unbearable winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
