Mrs.J Posted March 6, 2013 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. That is great to watch! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceFrederickWx 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. . Yeah everyone here says to disregard them but the GFS map repeatedly showed that exact scenario happening. 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...

NattyBo Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Am I really going to break the 2" streak here? I'm beginning to doubt.... 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...

Bob Chill Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 Am I really going to break the 2" streak here? I'm beginning to doubt.... I am 100% certain we get more than 2". How much more will depend on how lucky we can get later. 12-4 should be prime time for rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattie g Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Hello from RVA! 2 inches in the Fan, 1 mile west of VCU. 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...

North Balti Zen Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 This is playing out like the models were a few days back that showed Richmond cashing in. The models that were showing that did so at the expense of Cent MD, especially over toward Balt and north. Its great for Richmond peeps (except for RTutton, I now will actively wish him ill for snow going forward), but has probably come at our expense up here.
