North Balti Zen Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Damn, dude. Seriously? Yes. The I-95 cooridor from Columbia north to BWI to downtown and up is pure unrelenting rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skywalker03 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Huge flakes in north Rockville, but I wouldn't call this heavy snow. Maybe moderate at best. Prob closing in on an inch? My side street is covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ger Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I feel like all of us are accustomed to receiving a long period overrunning or WAA with our KUs; and less familiar with Nor'Easter-type (e.g. moisture fetch from the Atlantic). Why?? It could be this: this area's geographic location translates to being less prone to the features of a Nor'Easter, particularly a Nor'Easter that is undergoing rapid intensification. Other places such as NYC and SNE experience this more frequently. I say this because looking at current radar, it really struck me when comparing our current radar signature to similar signatures I have seen before on NYC or SNE radar. Just a thought.

das Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 It's been snowing moderately for the last two hours and the temp is 31.4F. During that time, my snow total has gone from 1.9" to 1.9". Pretty snow but it's just not accumulating. Maybe this next moderate band will change that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Agree. Large flakes, but it isn't exactly pounding like you'd want for a 1-2"/hr rate (at least not at 33-34 degrees). Every once in a while it really batters us, but it lets up just enough to bring the rates down to a manageable level for the March sun. Radar is looking good back into Maryland, though.

josh Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 CBS' new accumulation map still has 6-9" for immediate DC area. with 0" on the ground right now, it should be some fun later if it holds true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NovaHoo Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I'm only not calling this heavy snow in Burke right now because, like a figure skating judge, I'm leaving room for some of those 35 dbz returns I'm seeing. Coincidentally, first snow with the Dish Network. Now I see the downside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeminoleSullivan Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 What I find interesting for those of us who are experiencing Rainstorm Saturn right now is that in order for many of us to hit warning level criteria, we're going to have to pick up the pace... but it's more than that. We have to overcome wet ground, among other things. This wouldn't be too big a problem if the soil wasn't saturated to the point of ponding. So we now have to lose probably .3-.4 in QPF to overcome the wet grass and the warmer ground. If you take ice shavings and shove them into a planter filled with damp soil, you'll sorta see what I mean. So, provided my estiguesses are correct, for the Baltimore area we have another ~1.0 QPF on the way. We still have a shot at a 4-6" storm but we've got to get a move on.
