DCA Weather Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I went out and took several measurements. I am calling it 6 inches so far. A few miles makes the difference. You have 6" in Leesburg, but I have 2.5" here in Ashburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnbomb Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Class snow hole in DC. My first experience with it. This blows. Radar just keeps literally jumping over the hole, no filling in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaltimoreWxGuy Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Still think this is gonna be a bust for the urban areas...Just not enough cold air to work with, rates are not bad but stil not good enough to overcome the BL. Just west of I95, better chanced but me in Essex MD, Im expecting 1-3" IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wawarriors4 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Confirmed, same near Fredericksburg, so far we have been in a sweet spot and have fought off the rain line. We're over performing way more than I expected. So far so good, interested to see the snow bands later this morning and afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lsukev Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Not on my phone no I'm sorry. I would use spc mesoanalysis though personally Did you see the surface pressure of 994mb down near Newport News? That's pretty low. Was that modeled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxdude64 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Snow easing up here, 4.5" accumulation on 0.80". Sloppy heavy stuff! Just up the road 5-10 miles several reports of 8"-10" in Bath County. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just west of I95, better chanced but me in Essex MD, Im expecting 1-3" IMO You expect any? I'm just west of you in Eastpoint and I'll be happy with flakes in the area. I just don't think there is going to be enough cold air to work with today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnbomb Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Wasn't expecting to wake up to a coating this am after seeing radar/temp trends last night and given general excitement and enthusiasm about the WAA part of the storm. Couldn't agree more. I went to sleep with a huge swath of snow rolling through and then woke up to practically nothing and flurries. Real head scratcher. Does anyone have like twelve hour radar? I'd like to see what happened last night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't think there is going to be enough cold air to work with today I have to assume that as the low pulls away this afternoon we cool just enough, but who knows. We all should of known better though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
