North Balti Zen Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Got somewhere between 2 and 3 inches in Parkville, still coming down at a decent clip....tiny, fine flakes. About to take my Corgi out for a romp in the snow :-) Great, nice to see verification of what i was measuring in Hamilton neighborhood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cigrgd Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 6 inches of snow in my yard in Columbia near Rt. 29 and 108 at 8:45 AM. Still snowing, too. Roads are slushy. Great spring snow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchnick 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. busted here DT has done perfectly here w/3-6" I've got 4"+ right now including roads covered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2O Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 If that's your interpretation. I think we basically topped out potential so maybe in that sense. But I don't think there was any chance for 6" IMBY We would have had yesterday's RIC snow, temps stay at 32 and what we got this morning to get 6". If all we got was half of that but still better than the low end then i'm happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoast NPZ Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I was over 6" when I left my house for work. Snow continues to fall, but I'm not sure it can accumulate anymore. Still 32F out, but it'll take heavier rates and I don't think that will happen out here. 6-inch storm is good anytime of the year, but incredible this late in the season. If this is the end, then it is a great way to go out. What a remarkable change in perception of this winter for me. 3 weeks ago it was pretty darn negative, now I'll actually remember it quite fondly. 3 snowstorms in March and a March total of 18.5" (unless it accumulates more this AM). I'm now actually a bit over climo for the season (29.5 inches total), decent cold snap in January with a little cold, fluffy clipper snow, AND we had a White Christmas with snow on the ground through New Years. It feels good to see the DC/BWI crowd finally break that infernal <2" drought. Here's hoping the rest of the AM brings you all +SN. Congrats and enjoy! Now, bring on the El-nino and let's repeat 09-10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 We would have had yesterday's RIC snow, temps stay at 32 and what we got this morning to get 6". If all we got was half of that but still better than the low end then i'm happy Looks like it is getting there NE tho models favored Potomac n for the coastal. Out of season events are tricky. I didn't have a very good call and slept through it so I will probably stick to tstorms the rest of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdhokie Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Looks like Howard could be the winner for the close in metro areas. There is a ridge just west of I-95, south of downtown Ellicott city where the elevation is 500+. I bet they are cashing in, since I have 4" and am 10 miles east and 350' lower.

das 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. Just passed 3.1" in Clarksburg. In these marginal events, you usually get around 25% more than me due to your elevation (and in this case, being east of me). Even though it will snow for a while yet, I'd guess we are done accumulating as it is now 31.9F and the quite bright so a fair amount of insolation is pushing through.
