Burnbomb Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Despite radar, it is simply not even precipitating in DC. Still very confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quasievil Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I was lambasted for complaining that the models a few days ago weren't any good because they didn't show heavy precip which I thought we were gunna' need and unfortunately, at least so far, those concerns were valid now it's a question of whether we can pull this out in the 4th quarter I sure hope so, but either way, it will be in the mid 50's this weekend and likely melted by Sunday evening so at least we won't have lost much in the meantime, sleet is now mixing in so hopefully snow isn'y too far awa You're seeing sleet now? I'm 1 mile south of BWI but can't run outside to check, at least not yet. DC might be close to breaking their streak but we still run the risk of not coming close to breaking ours.

Jebman Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Unbelievably HUGE flakes. Just torrential snow! That green/yellow band moved in and I am getting demolished. Just WOW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeminoleSullivan Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 We need this thing to close off and deepen quicker, otherwise our winds may as well be southerly. The Atlantic is fairly warm, with some SSTs tipping toward 60 in the vicinity. My trusty WX station near white marsh verifies that it's 39.4 degrees, DP @ 36. I've come up 5/4 degrees in the last 3 hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clskinsfan Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 12Z NAM firewx nest thoughts on 24-hour precip Well if that is accurate I wont hit 20 inches. Maybe another 6-8? Would get me to14-16. I will take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdevil02 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Heard a noise suspiciously like a transformer blow then lost power. But it came back on a minute later. Odd, since the grass barely is white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josh Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Despite radar, it is simply not even precipitating in DC. Still very confused. I was thinking the same here in Clarendon. been barely light snow for 25min, picking up slightly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ike Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 wow, wasn't expecting that from your locale. It wasn't heavy or anything, but it's mixing in and it's washed a lot of the snow off my branches so far. Back to light flurries mostly now. Again, I seem to live in a weird little spot.

NovaHoo Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 When you haven't seen legit snow in 3 years it's hard to gauge whether it's heavy/moderate/light. That said, I think I'd call this moderate snow with good sized flakes and darkening skies in Burke. And from the looks of radar we'll be in this for a while. #angstfreeobs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalcottWx Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 If anyone se or east of me can tell me what is within the band when jt crosses the bay it would be great. If its not snow its time to storm full cancel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
