PhineasC Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 It's not the banding its the BL..... Precip has been lacking big time. We won't even crack .75 at this rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TowsonWeather Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 this might be one of the worst storms of my life This. One of the worst busts for me personally since 2001. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
33andrain Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Dover radar is really looking nice now. I'm starting to look for any little ray of hope here, this is sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhineasC Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 It has little to do with the banding, it's more to do with the BL temps. OK, so I should still expect my 1.50" of precip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

real Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 All rain in DC. Driving around earlier, some of the blocked storm drains were resulting in big puddles. If some of the heavy bands set up, we may need urban flash flood warnings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terpeast Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Lesson learned, lower heights in cut-offs > elevation + latitude. Agreed. That will probably be a big part of the post mortem analysis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ilaine Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 About four inches on my raised flowerbeds. Sidewalks look like they've been shoveled. Between Burke and Fairfax City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalcottWx Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 OK, so I should still expect my 1.50" of precip? Literally fighting a losing argument, this storm with current qpf as snow would still be a substantial snowstorm. Your attributing it to banding, have you looked at radar?

jnis Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Starting to pick up again here. .5 vis with gusty NE winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighStakes Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Snow picking up here again but were fighting a losing battle. After the initial 4-5 this morning there was a long lull between 8:30 - 11:00. So close to being a great event, just missed by a couple degrees and a few better bands. When I got up this morning at 6 it looked like a real snowstorm, now not so much. Just too much melting and compacting. We finally got more than 3 for an event and it is March so all in all a good day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vastateofmind Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Snow has returned in past 15 minutes -- seems to flip back and forth between moderate and light every few minutes. Winds gusts to 30mph have also increased in that time, temp has dropped two degrees back DOWN to 36. Tired of the tease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
