Pityflakes Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 If we can get under a band like this after 2p-3p tonight I think we can pick up a few quick inches on the tail-end, but so far I'm kind of liking my contest call of 3" for DCA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spf Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Looks like a very nice yellow band on radar cutting a swath through Gatihersburg and then across the Potomac into Great Falls, Reston, Herndon, Sterling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spf Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 While stickage is an issue, it's nice to see consistent snow flakes flying through the sky after a few years. Enjoy it guys. It's beautiful coming down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrinceFrederickWx Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 This is exactly how March 2001 panned out- the changeover time kept getting pushed back. Its still rain here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feloniousq Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Easily 1/2 - 3/4" in the last 30 min here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caviman2201 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Welp... I went to bed at 1am watching snow fall and looked outside at 7am to see a driving rainstorm with 0.0" of snow on the ground. I drive from northern AA Co to Bowie and saw a total of 5 flakes splat and instantly melt on my windshield. This has been an awesome storm so far.

mdhokie Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I think the clown maps were probably pretty accurate, maybe a tad on the high side. If you want to see any accumulation you need to be west of a line going vertical through DC. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 I highly recommend clicking this link http://weather.cod.edu/buildmap/nexrad_build.php and running the full loop for AKQ (closest dot to richmond). Great stuff. Really shows the birth of the cylcone and intensification process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdhokie Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 This storm is like asking out the hot girl at school, she says yes, then a couple days later dumps you in front of the whole cafeteria, and kicks you in the nuts while walking away. Moderate rain. 80% of my snow from overnight is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gymengineer Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 It really needed to be sticking to grass better by now to get into the higher forecast range around DC metro. It was never going to be a big road accumulator based on temperatures, but I thought grass had a chance. The precip is there and building, but temperatures just aren't cooperating. It's going to snow for about 8 more hours--- hopefully we can get at least 3" into DC and 5" here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this is for the DC/Balt crowd thinking that the MA forums are exclusively for them. This was taken 30 minutes ago when we were just starting to accumulate. Thanks, DT.But if you really want to go there, you're not really hurting the feelings of those of us that have more snow than you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joc111 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Here in Alexandria, we have changed "snowquester" to simply "snow quest," because we're still searching for meaningful accumulating snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
