mdhokie Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Pouring snow just south of BWI. Best rates I've seen since the 2011 thump. Even sticking to the roads during our torch sun angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I enjoy your posts, knowledge, and objective view but jesus christ man, enjoy this for a bit. i like snow more before it's on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravensrule Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 About 4 on the deck table, 5 in the grass. I am amazed. I thought for sure this was headed to a bad place. Did not even measure the grass, only the BB (grill cover) and deck railings and AC unit. I may have 5" on the grass here as well. Amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 7 to 8 inches of my total snow have come in March... impressive. 3.5 to 4 as well I believe here in West Springfield... based off what people close to me have posted and I have measured... very nice and picturesque Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swimmatte Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 i like snow more before it's on the ground. Well just FYI, I'm sitting at 31.6 and it's been steady for the past hour, only raising .1 over that stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmericanWxFreak Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Pretty bad vis in some of these bands near the bay... http://www.chart.state.md.us/video/video.asp?feed=00012848007300bc004c823633235daa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Symblized Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Snow really heavy south of Baltimore into the city. 3 inches+ for many in that area. The radar presentation is impressive concerning the pivot. Heavy bands should continue to hit BWI and NE in the next 4-5 hours. 5-6 totals could be found on grassy surfaces before the coastal pulls the deform zone further NE. 3.9" to be exact, just measured in 5 spots. I cannot believe I slept through our biggest storm in over 2 years . WX1man I should have listened to you and pulled an all nighter. For locales such as Linthicum to Dundalk to Essex and Towson up to Kingsville (and around that radius as well) 4-7" is a good estimate for final totals. Sensational rates via radar there at the moment. Maybe, but I'm in south Baltimore and have a total of 1.3 inches right now. Elevation might help, per that 3.9 inch report. Edit: The Science Center might think it's at 36 degrees, but I'm all of 12 blocks south of that and I'm at 32. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoVaSnow Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Measured a solid 3.5 inches, approaching 4 .image.jpg For my reference, what is your location in Centreville? I live near Stone & Braddock. I'm at work in Crystal City now, so I can't see how much is at home. When I left home at 6:15, I'd say there was 2.5 or 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mappy Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 So much whining last night and yet everyone woke up to snow. Per Fozz, there is 4" at home in Cockeysville, hard to say how much there is here in the city. But its coming down nicely. Took me about 45 mins to get to work, not too much traffic but visibility wasn't all that great. A few pics from my drive in (Along 83) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdhokie Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 0Z NAM actually nailed this precip area. Had the max centered over the bay with the western counties getting in on the fun 12z-15z. Pulled the max to the NE 15-18Z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scuddz Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I'd estimate closer to 3 than 2 inches on my car in Columbia this morning. Snowing pretty good now at work in Suitland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 So much whining last night and yet everyone woke up to snow. everyone worries some of us just post too much. not sure anyone was truly jumping off a cliff at 10pm when most of us knew the best model time was to come. split the uprights between the pessimistic calls and the too high calls it seems. definitely hit my ceiling imby. now time for winter to gtfo.

swimmatte Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Based on this: http://weather.cod.edu/satrad/nexrad/ It looks like I'm just barely missing the better rates on the pivot Still getting -SN so I guess I can't complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattie g Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I've topped Mar 6th and might end up with warning criteria. This is great. Wish I could have stayed home today. I mean...I probably could have, but I'm pretty dumb. Curious to see if that backbuilding continues and we stay on the southern edge of the precip. If we do, it'll be interesting to see totals. And it's ripping snow at work in PG, so I can at least watch that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mappy Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Couple pics from my office - rooftop shot from behind my building, and a view of Charles Street. Main roads around here at wet, but side roads are slushy. The alley behind my building was snow covered when I came in to park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
