ohleary Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Big fat flakes hitting the windows sound like raindrops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Snow board 6am: 3" noon: 1.5" Total: 4.5" With the lighter rates and midday sun, the temp has risen to 34.5. The maple tree has big glops (technical term) falling off of it and the rest is running down the branches to make a stream down the trunk. Shoveling was interesting - like trying to move a half-melted Slurpee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTutton Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 The Richmond people too. Or at least that RTutton guy. This is hilarious. I don't care that much, except that many people on here really think the Mid-Atlantic is really exclusive to DC/Balt. It lends itself to the general attitude that we're just a bunch of uneducated rednecks and life in general is just so vastly superior up there. Richmond is a part of the Mid-Atlantic. Deal with it. More than 50% of the MA doesn't live in your MSA. Oh and also, we're getting awesome snow today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinylfreak89 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Precip totals will likely verify way below modeled. I don't think you can say that wasn't a factor. Back to light rain here. how come you guys think the QPF is sow low? The dynamics don't support QPF this low. Also, I checked radar precip estimates and it matches pretty well with the QPF being reported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

needbiggerboat Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Just in from the mid-day shovel....Had to use the ultra-light shovel to compensate for moving the heavy while slush around. Measured 4 inches in multiple places, but looks to be a lot of compaction, so not sure how much was cut down. Still light snow out here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDweatherman Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Well boys it looks like a bust for some, but that doesn't entail a shutout. I would still expect DC to get to 2", mainly because the low (which lies at 992mb) as we speak, could jog a bit NW like last nights NAM entailed. A beneficial factor that could play a part is that once the winds switch to the NE or more NNE, there will be latent heat release to allow the warmer temperatures that invade during the lulls to drop back a few degrees. Additionally, ML lapse rates are on the increase, especially in EC MD and DE, and with those bands moving across, the dynamic factor is increasing. More or less once we get those switches in winds, DC or just east may actually do better than downtown thanks to the existing frontogenesis and proximity to the h5 circulation.

SeminoleSullivan Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 My son is going to have to learn about weather very early on, so that he can defend his dad when things like this happen. Still rain 39/37 near White Marsh, NE of Baltimore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDweatherman Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 And just as I say that the reports of thunder come in from around DC, with radar showing the system intensifying. We are in the midst of some modest to significant cyclogenesis on the order of 1-2mb/hr in the past few hrs, which is allowed some intense banding features to couple with the frontogen and ML lapses.

Midlo is awsome, Midlothian is awesome, I love the Richmond area posters, but you have been an abject jerk today, and wish you nothing but snow pain in the future.

nw baltimore wx Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 lol flipping between light and moderate snow, about 6" has fallen so far.Leesburg has as much, if not more, and is an hour closer to you. Yeah, but then I might run into Ji. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I feel very lucky that the banding has set up over top of me. Between melting and compaction though, it's not accumulating as fast as you'd think, looking at radar. Have probably only added an inch or so in the past couple of hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneFatGuy Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Thunder near Cathedral in DC. i've seen pics from tenley area.. it didnt really look much different <1" on the grass in Cleveland Park.

midatlanticweather Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 My snow is melting as fast as it is falling. I measured - thought, based on rates, I would see 4" - NOPE - 1.5 - 2" - THAT IS IT - I have been in yellows and dark greens for hours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wonderdog Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I was lucky out here getting about 7 inches but it looks as if the radar indicates a dryslot to my east and green echoes in the Frederick area are going to converge on PW County in about a half hour.
