Disc Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Not much left of the snow. I'd still say about 50 percent of the ground is still covered though. The sun did a number on our 5 something inches yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchnick Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I could feel it coming the past few years, but I couldn't get myself to say it I am really ready of spring I think I slept 11 hours last night as my body was catching up for 4 months of no sleep thanks to late night computer runs and only 8 months, 10 days until 12/5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can feel a white Thanksgiving coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast NPZ Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Matt, That is pretty typical for that high plateau area, ridges there are over 3000 feet. There are several miles of pretty flat high country there. My property is on the west side 1200' down from South Branch Mountain. There were still large north facing areas up there that were completely white before this last snow. Glad you got out to enjoy Timberline yesterday, it was a perfect ski day. More pictures out the window this morning. 2013-03-25 20.55.13.jpg 2013-03-25 21.02.42.jpg 2013-03-25 20.54.48.jpg Nice pics. On a related note, I've been looking for a pub-style table for my basement and I notice you have one. Since you're selling that house maybe you'd be interested in selling......

EastCoast NPZ Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 That's departure from daily average temperature. DCA's daily average temperature is 50F now. Yes, that probably means a average high of 60F and low of 40F. Yesterday the average temperature at DCA was 36F with a high of 39F and low of 33F. I see. Thanks for the explanation.

My daughter was wearing a yellow coat, red helmet and that might be us on the lift? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you're selling that house maybe you'd be interested in selling...... Absolutely, that is one of the furnishings my wife does not want and it will be going on Craigs List when the place sells. Send me a PM about how much and when you want it with the two chairs. I will ask her what she was expecting for it. On a weather note back to steady flurries here again but the temp has risen to the daily high of 34.2... Going back to VA soon, daughter is on spring break this week to my work time is limited so a road trip for the table is not out of the question.

09-10 analogy Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Nice event and redeemed this winter just a little bit. Snowed off and on much of the day but created no traffic problems so I was able to drive over to Rock Creek Park and traipse around while the snow was falling and accumulating. Got a bit of sledding in with my daughter, which is always a worthwhile endeavor. I told her this is probably one of the rare times she'll be able to sled after her birthday (which was on the 21st). Never did measure but I see the report from AU of 2.5" so I'll go with that but inflate it a bit to 2.75" just for aesthetics' sake. Since I don't report to anyone but myself, no harm no foul. That departure map of the country posted earlier was amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoVaSnow Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Still snow on most grassy areas and almost all of the rooftops. You can tell who never upgraded the insulation in our 1960s attics. Will all be a distant memory by this afternoon. Melted down 0.64" in the stratus gauge and 0.59" in the Davis tb. More than IAD or DCA, so in addition to my elevation, I may have been in a good precip spot. On my drive to work this morning on I-66, the most snow remaining on the sides of the road was in Falls Church. Out in Centreville, only the most shaded areas still had any traces.

ohleary Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Stats for yesterday: -12F departure, 0.82" QPF and 3.2" of snow at BWI. -11F departure, 0.44" QPF and 3.2" of snow at IAD. -14F departure, 0.52" QPF and 1.4" of snow at DCA. Quite an anomalous day for late March. BWI had more QPF from this event than March 6th. Fun day in Reston, finally got to go sledding for the first time in 3 years. Side note, a common occurrence around here is calling accumulated precip QPF, which makes no sense of course since QPF is a forecast of precip, not what actually fell.

DDweatherman Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Duh...you're right of course, thanks for the catch. No big deal man, it happens all the time. After some frantic enjoyment of a late season snow to close out an otherwise abysmal winter, you fall back on some things. When can I get my tag Stormtracker?

DDweatherman Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 you sent me a msg that you weren't a met what are you looking for? I asked StormTracker for the PF. I do clientel work in the PVT sector. He said they funneled them out, but essentially I think I have more knowledge and experience to offer than your everyday member.
