87storms Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Am I really going to break the 2" streak here? I'm beginning to doubt.... yea this is rough sledding. i'm about ready to stick a fork in this one. pretty much a major bust so far this way.

NattyBo Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 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. Looking at radar, seems like all the good bands are popping to the south of us. It is what it is at this point I guess. Can't help but feel Lucy pulled the football again.

NattyBo Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 yea this is rough sledding. i'm about ready to stick a fork in this one. pretty much a major bust so far this way. I'm a smuck who doesn't know anything, but I mean, it's going on 2 hours of steady snow here and it's not accumulating at all, really. If it does this all day, I won't make 2 inches. About to call time of death on it myself and just enjoy looking out the window at snow and a free day off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 It's early yet but I wouldn't be that surprised if DCA doesn't crack 2". Trying to figure out how much I can get w/o DCA breaking the streak. 7? 8? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ike Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 This is what I get for trusting the NAM, isn't it? The grass is sticking back out again. 1.75" overnight down to maybe 0.5" now from rain. If this holds up, the Christmas eve storm will win out as my largest accumulation at 2". That's kind of a sad thought. Time to look at more pictures from Virginia. I'm getting jealous, you guys.

gymengineer 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. Yup-- something was clearly missed by the models in the short range for Richmond to be experiencing what they are right now, so I guess I'm just going to wait and see if there are any positive surprises late afternoon. It sure looks that the best dynamics are much further south than modeled yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nj2va Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 at 7am IAD had 1.5" and DCA 0.1 Thank you! Got a link where you are pulling that from? I have a wager with a friend of mine on snowfall amounts throughout the day at Dulles so I gotta get updated amounts later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Balti Zen Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I asked this in other thread and will put it here as well: Anyone from Westminster area lurking? My brother is contemplating driving that way with my nieces and my son to seek snow - preferably sleddable snow. Enough out there to make it worth the drive? Thanks.
