Ji Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 Leesburg is getting punished for being such a rotten snow town the past 2 years. Absolute pummeling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohleary Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 ohleary, is Fort Royal VA in that mesoscale band showing up on NAM? I don't know the exact position of where I'm at. Looks like it's right about there...just above the max. Wife reports eyeballing about 6" in Reston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2O Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 .25 miles to.1 miles. .5 inches in about 20 minutes. Roads are getting slush covered quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast NPZ Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Made it to 10" before we hit a massive lull. Even had sunlight for a time. Probably spells the end of our accumulation window here, and I'm not sure that we even get another substantial band. Really got great rates from 7:30 to about 9. Picked-up 2 inches in that time period. Great storm for March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NattyBo Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 It's been snowing pretty well for the last hour here, @ 31.5, but it's not even really adding much to what I have on the grass already (1/2 inch?) It's barely sticking to the side parts of my street where people park and don't drive. The flake size isn't as big as 40 mins ago or so either.

FrederickWX Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Light snow here. It's been all snow, but the March sun angle is doing it's dirty work. Really need the heavier stuff to get in here, otherwise the battle will be lost to the sun angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clskinsfan Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 This band moving through loudoun now means business. probably close to an inch per hour rates Was just gonna ask if those 45db returns were snow over Loudoun. Bring that band out west!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlizzardNole Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Surprised to see the zones issued by LWX at 9:33 still saying 6-10" for Montgomery Co and 4-8" for Calvert where my folks live. They still have all rain there. As for here, we just have light snow with occasional moderate bursts and the 1-1.5" is just holding. It seems event the real intense echoes (yellow) are moderate at best then it goes back to just light. I have doubts we see even 4" on the grass. Streets and even sidewalks are just wet.

H2O Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I am like 30 feet elevation. About a quarter mile from the river and it's pouring snow. Coming down franconia rd and huntington I could see it go from 1-2" on grass to lesser amounts. The earlier lull killed us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWxLuvr Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Dude. What are you talking about? Have you even looked at the radar. We still have 8-9 hours of snow left. It does depend on how far north that band is. We are getting to the point where our radar direction is ne. Those bands have to be a bit to our north in order to clip us. I think DC is going to be happy when this is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalfy Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Just went from rain to snow, back to rain/snow mix, then to rain.. I guess I'm just not having luck here in college park. Olney seems to be doing decent per webcam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
33andrain Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Still just a light rain a few miles northeast of Towson, MD. WInd has really picked up though, so it's a nice wind driven rain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTutton Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Hello from RVA! 2 inches in the Fan, 1 mile west of VCU. And this is for the DC/Balt crowd thinking that the MA forums are exclusively for them. This was taken 30 minutes ago when we were just starting to accumulate.

Burnbomb Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Veritable flurries still here in Chevy Chase. I'm glad others are picking up on the funky radar echoes. Those dark greens and yellows are picking up something weird - definitely a lack of precip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikes923 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Haha,funny. My tears have caused the issuance of a flash flood warning in Cecil County.

Picked-up 2 inches in that time period. Great storm for March. Wow. Congrats. 4" here, and with the lull in precip its jumped to 34 degrees. Winds have turned to the NW, so not expecting much more from the bands to the east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
