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...
Scraff Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Coming down the hardest I've seen in forever. A central MD special? 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...
needbiggerboat Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 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. I'm in the nicer part of Centreville, closer to Clifton.

Who besides TWC was higher than what we actually got? Now that I think about it, everyone may have hit the low end of the TWC forecast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchnick Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 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. really, really coming down hard here about as heavy as anything in 09/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DT... lots of people who bought the snow maps verbatim. if you get 1-3 and a forecast was 3-6 not sure the forecast was right if you hit 3. and everyone else is lower.

nw baltimore wx Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Downtown is like DCA it is a terrible place for snow, move 15 miles north and it is like a different climate. You're in Stevenson now? Nice area. 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...

Ian Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 His, Ellinwoods, and a string of GFS maps for the 48 hours leading up to the storm have verified best out here. DT did better than I would have initially thought. I wasn't really ruling out what happened but I wasn't expecting it either. Just shows how 90 minutes of great rates is critical in a marginal zone. There will be lots of back patting since it snowed but there were tons of people who were going way too high in the leadup at least here. But, today is a weenie day so whatever. Plus they'll all be gone soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swimmatte Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 im talking around me.. as i usually do. i dont care about your snow, sorry. DT put you in the 3"-6" right? I'd have to imagine you're getting pretty damn close to 3". Disclaimer: I can't stand DT, a wish for him to bust anytime he opens his woofing mouth (except for IMBY of course).

jnis Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Congratulations to all who are getting snow. Does anyone have an obs from Damascus or Mt Airy? I'm down in FLA on the gulf. Bright sunshine with low humidity, temp about 70. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disclaimer: I can't stand DT, a wish for him to bust anytime he opens his woofing mouth (except for IMBY of course). i didnt measure anything much over 2.. granted it might have melted a little first. probably some generous measurements with this storm. 3-6 is not a good range for me despite what happened.

Swiscaster Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 needbiggerboat, I live near you (off Sully Park Drive) and I think we live in the better part! Looks like 3-3.5 on cartops here. Barely snowing now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
