Ji Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I ended up with a little over 3 inches imby. Did your contract expire with cwg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikes923 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Looks like almost all rain now. Shoveled at 10 am, Spots with as little as 2 inches on pavement, and as much as 6-7 inches on my wooden steps. The snow practically fell off my car. 38degrees, Ellicott City.

Ian Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 FWIW, Kevin Ambrose said there was about 1-1.5" on the Mall this morning so DCA might be legit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WEATHER53 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 That circulation in WV looks intense, that will move thru here by or after dark. Great snow effort with the temps and low pressure(s) location, I am hoping for a Snmgdn II, part II repeat later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowfan Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 FWIW, Kevin Ambrose said there was about 1-1.5" on the Mall this morning so DCA might be legit. I suppose.....especially given the time of year and marginal temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midlo Snow Maker Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 it's been snowing here on and off all day. we had an intense band a little while ago, some nice mood snow. 3.7" total for me congrats to all up north glad ya'll got some action this map is nuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowfan Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 So.....should we expect anything meaninful this evening after it begins to get dark? That low looks potent, but will it fizzle as it moves east? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lpaschall Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Nice snow rate again north of Westminster near Hashawa nature center. It has been light snow all day with an occasional spurt of drizzle a about an hour ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Younar Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 FWIW, Kevin Ambrose said there was about 1-1.5" on the Mall this morning so DCA might be legit. I live 2 miles SSW of DCA as the crow flies and sit at about 35' ASL ... we had 2.2 inches on cartops and wooden surfaces this morning at around 830. Driving past DCA on the parkway there was noticeably less snow than in my neighborhood. We tend to do ever so slightly better than DCA in marginal events such as this one (being a mile and a half from the water helps). I would agree that the DCA measurement is probably legit based on my own observations and (extremely) local climatology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDIII Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I ended up with a little over 3 inches imby. Pretty much an an anitbust imho... lwx was gun shy... and who can blame um given the winter's past debacles... but they should be held accountable.... especially since this morning there was snow cover on main roads up here in Balimore.

das Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Total in Clarksburg is 4.1". 3.2" thru mid morning and 0.9" when the big band moved through and dropped temps again. It accumulated everywhere except on tree branches and asphalt. ULL will be interesting this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herb@MAWS Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Left DC 3pm -- all rain. Got outside of DC amd a few sloppy, semi-frozen raindrops mixed in. Wasn't until after Burtonsville and Skaggsville coming north up I-95 that there was an obvious greater amount of wet snow mixing in. Now in Columbia, getting more of a rain/snow mix.

Ian Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 what time did he measure?...there was serious melting and compaction after about 7am.... I literally measured 2" standing on a plank over the Potomac.....1mi ENE city of Alexandria which I assume is Old Town measured 2.2".... not sure, i'll ask. assuming it was later as his pics look to be after sunrise. someone on twitter told me they measured 1.5" in navy yard.

Ian Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 snow is often pretty variable over short distances. plus most people seemingly have no clue how to measure snow. strange how something so easy is so f'ed up all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87storms Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 i measured a few different spots where i'm at and it was right at 2" and i had to pick some good spots for that. the benches had about 1.5". it was kind of annoying because i really wanted to easily break that 2" barrier. i think i found one spot that was like 2.2". would have been nice to have one more heavy band come through, but it is what it is. i'll take it.

WEATHER53 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Were you the reported measurement?...when I left for work at 8:15 the snow had turned to partial melty slush....I understand the public isnt going to be up all night, but what excuse does DCA have not to take a max measurment during the 6z to 12z period? The excuse is that they do not want to go out in the snow and measure it. I may have to Finally blow the lid off All of this. See how I feel later, would bring some heat down on me possibly.

87storms Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 what time? I measured T in mcpherson square at 8:45am....maybe I should report that it was like 630, towards the end of the last of the decent stuff. maybe i missed out on 0.25". i'm in downtown bethesda, i wouldn't have done that much better than dc.

No, I didn't report any measurements. I only mentioned it here since there was discussion about DCA's measurement and I figured I had a data point that could be informative. That is a good point regarding compaction after 7. Since you measured 2 inches literally on the river, you're a better reference point than I am in regards to what DCA truly got versus what they reported.

MN Transplant Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 nobody should be measuring in the grass obviously.....hard to believe people report those totals...I measured 2.5" on a cartop at 6am and 2.5 on a metal patio table and I think those totals might be inflated so I went with 2.25"....other surfaces like even brick were around 2"....on the grass was almost 4".lol I had identical readings from my cartop, metal patio table, and "official" snow board. I'm not certain you have to adjust your measurements just on that basis alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 well, don't do anything that will screw you over, but would love to hear it....I know there are others who have the details as well... it it ever reliably snows again im going to go there and measure one day. of course the only time it snows lately seems to be when i have something i have to be at work at 9a for like today.

DDweatherman Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 radar already filling in..it looks like maybe 7pm-10pm might be the windowZwyts, radar is looking solid for CMD thru NVA. Good call on timing.Edit to add precip which might be moving ESE at the present time should come back ENE as our energy rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
