Swiscaster Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I'm in hawaii (75 degrees and pcloudy) watching this thread go from almost unprecedented enthusiasm earlier to horrible pessimism in a matter of a couple of hours. Someone please reassure me that it is going to snow at least 6". And also someone tell me what is happening in Centreville. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattie g Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I suppose I'm one of the lucky ones outside of western VA at this point in that I have full snow cover. But after seeing the 0z suite, I'm pretty surprised that there hasn't been more widespread reasonable snow so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebman Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Given what you say psuhoffman and also the reports out of DC - we should probably see what transpires in the next 6 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hokierulz98 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 ground white with a dusting now in Short Pump. Went from moderate rain/sleet and 37 to moderate snow and 34 in the last 30 minutes and temps still dropping like a rock! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 First clearing - 3.0". Absolute paste. Everything is caked. Some sidewalk and road areas are more like an inch. A little over 2.5" here. Perhaps a little elevation and earlier heavy rates have helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebman Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Perhaps things do not appear to be unfolding exactly as we expected, but there IS a lot of precip on that radar. Steady snow in Woodbridge too as it gets light outside. http://radar.weather.gov/Conus/full.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Where are you at? Just SE of Tyson's, just west of Falls Church city. Closest to WFC metro. 468' elevation. Crappy iPhone shots incoming. My snowboard is in the front yard, the table is a check on that in the back. They were identical. My Davis VP2 and Stratus gauge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowdude Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Yeah I should have driven home to Dale City instead of staying in Columbia. Hoping it picks up later. Rain and snow now. Not even a half inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebman Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Snow picking up to moderate, larger flakes. It is light enough out now that I can see the falling snow, driven by a 15 mph north breeze. It is gusting a few mph higher than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
