Eskimo Joe Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Taking a look at the infrared / water vapor loop it is clear we are in a relative lull as energy transfers from the Ohio Valley low to the coastal. Infrared imagery as of 10:00 am shows a progressive cooling and westward expansion of cloud tops as the coastal low really gets cranking. This is translating to a notable increase in banding on Sterling and Dover radars. Still confident in another round of accumulating snows, especially west of I-95.

EastCoast NPZ Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 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. Thanks. Best storm since Feb 6, 2010. Had this been a few degrees colder it would've been huge.

DC Mike Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Light to moderate snow in Columbia Heights, 33, dp down 1 last hour to 31. winds starting to take a turn from E to NE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TowsonWeather Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Pretty ugly here in Towson...the inch or so we got overnight has been steadily eroding/melting, and it's just a nasty and persistent RA/SN mix that refuses to stick to anything. I fail to see how we can turn this around - even with big rates, it's just too warm. What a terrible bust... Happy for everyone out west getting pounded, but this is pretty heartbreaking.

bmc10 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 How is Baltimore fairing? Any accumulating snow going to occur there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrederickWX Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Still very light snow, but sky has brightened considerably. Some melting is occurring. It may snow on and off the rest of the day, but if it doesn't get a lot heavier, for a long period of time, I don't see how I get any more to accumulate on top of the 3 inches that fell overnight here. NWS will need to start reducing forecast totals soon. Nice for March, and I'm OK with it, but sun angle is killer. Too bad we didn't get this in January. Anyway, once this storm is over, I go into Spring mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhineasC Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Clearly the notion that we'd be getting raked with mega-bands all day is busted. The radar picture is pretty sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickinBaltimore Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 How is Baltimore fairing? Any accumulating snow going to occur there? BWAHHHH HAHHAHAH Oh sorry.....rain and lots of it. Still hoping for a switch to snow but the chances seem to be getting less and less as the energy of the storm just isn't there it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoVaWx Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Snowing at a good clip still, picked up all my snow in the past couple hours. Not much fell here overnight. In places where it has stuck since the beginning there is nearly 5" while on the roads more like a coating. Good storm for us in Loudoun, and it still has just begun. Feel for anyone who's getting rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digrox Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Snowing, 33º, and just wet roads in Arlington at 250'. We have about 1/2" of slush on the grass. My folks in the mountains in Greene County VA had 15" early this morning (presumably more now). Some pics from there: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mascho Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Moderate snow again here, and desperately trying to stick to pavement. Of greater concern is the power just flickered. Awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disc Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 3-4 region wide in Lynchburg. BEst snows north and east of town and 6-7 north of Roanoke. 15 inches here in Harrisonburg. Nice. I got a crusty 1/2" IMBY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haudidoody Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 So I just refreshed LWX snow map and it said "Snow map not in effect." Not sure if anyone else noticed, but that just about says it all... Still rain/snow/frozen slush mix here. Visibility about 1.5 miles or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87storms Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 my cousin in bmore said he's got mostly rain, but its mod/heavy here, just having a hard time sticking, but if it stayed like this i think we'd start seeing white pavement in spots. it's comin' down.

River Hill Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Temp at Parkville middle school keeps creeping up, now at 35.8. I was looking forward to taking my 4 year old son sleding for the first time. His little heart is going to be broken if things don't change soon. Drive the kids to Westminster. We are heading to the McDaniel Golf Course soon. 4" or so now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLPressure Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Huge flakes and moderate/heavy snowfall in Oxon Hill, Md. 33 degrees. Need it to keep up for another 10 hours. I'd be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ike Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 It's gone back to mostly flurries here, but I think the rain has already done the damage. It's going to be hard to accumulate much on the half inch of liquid-y slop out there unless we get some really heavy, really persistent bands.

BlizzardNole Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Looking at radar only it looks like it would be snowing nicely, but it's mainly "conversational snow" that is barely enough to maintain the 1" on the ground. I think that's it for us, but I really feel for the folks getting rain. I have to admit I went to sleep just after the exciting updates around 11:00 or so last night, and woke up around 5:00 just shocked. I couldn't believe it. This one really hurts.
