wxmeddler Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Closing in on 3 inches and moderate snow. Roads are a mess and no plows yet. They knew about it since Saturday. The forecast the WIC gave them is right on track. Meanwhile the HRRRRRRR gives us 8-10 in the next few hours If we get even half that we'll be lucky.

clskinsfan Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Just a little over 5 inches IMBY this morning. Still coming down good. There are reports just 5 miles to my west of 11-12 inches up on the peaks. Nice little event and I am over 30 inches for the season. Should be gone in time for my flight tomorrow. So beautiful outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 yeah, well, it performed when it had its best chance. i guess dca broke 1" at least. I never expected much more to be honest. Yea, if it was 5 degrees colder maybe but this is at least quite "memorable". Nice pivot starting to show up. Maybe we get death banded later.

Looking at radar loop we got about the best we could have possibly hoped for unless there's another 2-4 coming and then ill look for a new hobby because I totally suck at this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.J Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 My husband just got to work and said there is a news station in the parking lot doing snow coverage. His office is right along 270 off of Shady Grove in Rockville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxMan1 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Quite a scene out there. This storm has performed almost exactly as modeled. About as close as you can get really. I was laughing at all the deb's and cancelers last night when the snow that was never supposed to get here didn't get here and then the hallucinations of despair set in. ...except for the snow accumulation output. The NAM and GFS were way too generous. The EC on the other hand was much more on spot for the DC area and even with the 2-4 swath yesterday in RIC land.

The EC on the other hand was much more on spot for the DC area and even with the 2-4 swath yesterday in RIC land. I don't even look at those to be honest. It's much more accurate to use a little common sense with rates, temps, soundings, etc. Snowmaps are silly. Except for 09-10 of course. Models did well with the 6-12z period irt to soundings and precip. That's pretty much the only period I focused on. Maybe somthing nutty happens this afternoon and we get heavy enough rates to keep up with the melt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheesyPoofs Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Any word on official totals from DCA...Did the god awful streak end? According to the PNS, DCA had recorded only a T as of 6:52am, so the streak remains for DCA at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Snowmaps are at their worst when the temps are marginal. I guess they do pretty well with 15 degree cold smoke but since that doesn't happen here I'll never be able to analyze them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevermind, I was looking at the wrong one. That was as of 6:52PM yesterday. I was slightly confused as to how they could only record a T...just chalked it up to being DCA. Need some sleep I guess, sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
