lsukev Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Can't help but feel I am wasting qpf. Ian, just drove through the R/S line on the beltway from Old Town to Chantilly. The SN started around the mixing bowl. That was an hour ago. Be patient my friend, it's coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnis Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 snow is sticking to everything but the roads here, and it is quite windy. I'm definitely worried about losing power. I hope power outages don't become them main headline in the news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clskinsfan Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 32 degrees with more or less steady mod snow. Looks like an inch on the grass and bushes. An area of my concrete back porch is white. Portions of the street in front of my house are preconsolidating. Preconsolidation is the term I use to refer to when snow is slushing up on the paved surface, not reflecting light as a wet road does, and getting ready to turn white from ongoing snow rates. LOL. You gotta love when Jebman has a new word for us snow weenies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KAOS Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I think you guys are wrong about those maps not having personal touch from NWS...they stated they had tech issues and their latest map is their last for a while..VIA FB....FLurries in Essex MD If a person is responsible for those maps...they should remain anonymous. I wouldn't want to take responsibility for that disastrous/schizophrenic crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
