The March 5-7 White Lion Obs/Nowcasting Thread

Just saying...

You're all talking past each other. It snowed 7" in Oakton, 6" in Vienna according to TerpEast. The storm did fine in places where the rates were intense+ some elevation. What BobChill's trying to say is that that scenario was supposed to have happened throughout the western suburbs, not just in an isolated pocket in NoVA. That's the model failure.

Why is he pissed? How much cool weather does he see in a year?

 

I remember watching him in Central Park before/during the March 2001 debacle.  New Yorkers were giving him serious grief by the time he finally got out of there.  Like you say, he has a darn good life so he can certainly suffer the occasional bust.

Snow in Reston...4" measured on my car but my wife says it's been snowing all day and there was about 3" at 5am!

 

Just drove from College Park to Reston...conditions about the same until I literally hit Reston...then mostly snow and slushy Toll Road...and back roads.

My 9" of snow has changed to rain. Currently staring at 3 bored kids after grilling hot dogs and hamburgers in the rain. The entire CHO area is out of power. Sometimes rain doesn't suck as much as it seems.

You have rain in CHO??? Ugh...:facepalm:
