haudidoody Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I can't remember ever experiencing such a sustained rain/snow mix in any storm. Back and forth, minute by minute for hours on end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ji Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Don't worry...it's a bust in Leesburg. Probably has snowed 10 inches but melted 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.J Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Mrs.J -- pics of your neighborhood, as well as your location, ring a bell for me -- didn't you post pics of a storm several a couple years ago of tremendous snow drifts (or plowed mounds?), 6'-8' in height or more, completely blocking streets in your subdivision during and just after a storm? I'm pretty sure it was you -- and those were awesome pictures. Probably was not me. We moved into this neighborhood in Jan '11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdhokie Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Well at the very least, most of us got a day off. Yea, but now the usual suspects will launch a 3 year 30 million dollar inquiry on why the govt was closed for rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonickteam Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 a lot of people are so sure this is going to change in a couple hours as the sun goes down. not buying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNash Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 so it seemed to me that the storm starting at night was beneficial. Getting a couple inches on the ground before sunrise and then piling it on. But in hindsight, i guess if it had started in the afternoon, we could have wasted the warmer temps and east winds simultaneously during the first part and then gotten the sun down as the north winds came. Seems like the beginning was wasted on the winds from the east and the middle is wasted by the daylight temps. I guess the end could muster something. does that sound right? Or the whole thing might be wasted by being in March instead of January or February... if you can entertain hypotheticals about time-shifting, why not go big?

wxdude64 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Big winners seem to be area from Staunton and Waynesboro up to Harrisonburg close to if not over 20 inches. Amazing. That is not a rub against any of you in DC area, what happened truly sad...been there and done that a few times here. As Ian said earlier this year, might as well go BIG on less than 2" snow record than just barely eek over 2.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clueless Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Snowing, temps melting though whatever coming down. Depending upon expectations, I wouldn't call this a bust. It is nice to see a sustained period of snow. I woke up to a really nice 6 inches and it is just pouring down. So, yeah, totals might not be exceptional out here, but a great event for my neighborhood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacChump Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 My best forecast for DC at this point is probably 4-6". But I focus on that city too much... Some other forecasts: - Roanoke: 1-3" - Philadelphia: 5-7" - New York: 1-3" - Boston: 4-6" - Portland: 2-4" bust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmlwx Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 yeah, i didnt do any of that Yeah me either. I did track it but in my free time.

smokeybandit Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 So where does this storm rank in the "biggest busted forecast snowstorms of all time" list? My original 6-10", while still forecast for 4-6" the rest of the night, has so far yielded about an inch of early morning snow that's now 99% melted. Oh, temperature still rising, even though the winds are shifting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
