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...
NattyBo 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. That's my experience in Rockville right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterWxLuvr 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. It's coming back 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.

Don Cherry's Jacket Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Strange here in McLean. Been snowing at good clips for about 90 minutes. The layer of slush on the deck has barely increased and the roads only recently got slushy. This is pretty and a lot of liquid, but watching kids try to sled down slush is pathetic.

WxUSAF Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Switching back and forth from SNRA to RASN of varying proportions. Went out with the kids for a little bit, getting away from trees and houses, I believe the spotter reports of 1.5-2"from earlier. But the snow/slush is so wet, you can't even sled in it. It is good snow if you want to throw a snowball at someone that could put them in a coma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeminoleSullivan Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 DP up to 40 per my WX Station just a touch outside White Marsh, MD Interestingly, I've recorded .34" of Liquid, but picked up just under an inch by ~3am. Though a slip-n-slide would be more appropriate than a sled right now. I suspect as that strange piece of energy fades in the atlantic, our low will jog NE slinging both a change of the wind and some heavier precip with it.

wawarriors4 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Just measured here in Spotsy County, VA......7.1" on the snow board and absolute ripping SN+, pretty sure we just had thunder as well..........trees beginning to snap everywhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vastateofmind Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 On the doorstep... hoping this is going to be a switch to better than a rasn mix sbox_wx, which app is that? That's the best radar I've seen on Android. 34 degrees, heavy snow right now, winds picking up -- went to back to sleep for a couple hours and the ~1.5" we had at 4:30 a.m.-ish compacted to under an inch here, but with current snowfall rate it's re-stacking quickly and sticking to pavement again.
