WEATHER53 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 This is a unique event. Cleared off completely, temp dropped to 32, concrete wet spots in shade are freezing quick, cars that were all fogged up are freezing up, precip bands almost stalled, and a huge blob still out in WV. So it's a top 5 snow event DCA 3/25 or later? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snownut Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Hey snownut, I was one of those hardly any other skiers! Had a great time. Ninth trip to Canaan Valley this season. Poured snow all day! I wasn't doing any "real skiing" there yesterday as I was there with my 8 year old daughter. It was only her second time skiing and she did quite well. The conditions really were awesome, this is one of those years they will close just because it is April and there aren't enough skiers, not because the snow is gone! Ironically, next winter after I have sold my WV place (which is an hour and 10 minutes from Davis) I will have more time and money to ski. My 8 year experiment with having 2 homes has been an expensive but fun learning experience. Onward soon I hope?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Still snow on most grassy areas and almost all of the rooftops. You can tell who never upgraded the insulation in our 1960s attics. Will all be a distant memory by this afternoon. Melted down 0.64" in the stratus gauge and 0.59" in the Davis tb. More than IAD or DCA, so in addition to my elevation, I may have been in a good precip spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Stats for yesterday: -12F departure, 0.82" liquid and 3.2" of snow at BWI. -11F departure, 0.44" liquid and 3.2" of snow at IAD. -14F departure, 0.52" liquid and 1.4" of snow at DCA. Quite an anomalous day for late March. BWI had more QPF from this event than March 6th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowfan Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Really big difference in remaining snow cover between the home front and work. There was a solid 1-2" left on the ground when I left this morning and by the time I reached the 50/495 interchange there wasn't much more than a dusting left. All will be a memory by this afternoon.

EastCoast NPZ Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Stats for yesterday: -12F departure, 0.82" QPF and 3.2" of snow at BWI. -11F departure, 0.44" QPF and 3.2" of snow at IAD. -14F departure, 0.52" QPF and 1.4" of snow at DCA. Quite an anomalous day for late March. BWI had more QPF from this event than March 6th. I don't follow DC temps too closely, but those departures seem too low. Isn't DC's avg high like 60 now? For instance, my avg high is 56F and yesterday's high was only 37. DC really made it to 46F yesterday? Same for the other airports? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCA's daily average temperature is 50F now. Yes, that probably means a average high of 60F and low of 40F. Yesterday the average temperature at DCA was 36F with a high of 39F and low of 33F.

snownut Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Melted and settled to 2" on the driveway and 5" still common on the mulch. Like the odds of my snow piles making it to easter sunday. That would be at least some snow piles or patches here since March 6th. Certainly an amazing March out here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodneyS Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 So it's a top 5 snow event DCA 3/25 or later?I believe it's #2 in that category. A two-day storm March 30-31, 1964 produced 5.8 inches at DCA. Since then, the only thing close is 2.0 inches on March 24-25, 1990, but only 0.1 inch was recorded on the 25th.

Driving home from Davis last night, there was a really heavy band stuck on top of the highest mountain between Moorefield and Baker on Corridor H. Must have been that one persistent band that showed up on radar last night. It went from light rain and minimal snowcover in Moorefield to what looked like at least a foot on the sides of the road and heavy snow up on top of that ridge. There was more snow on the ground there than anywhere else east of Mt. Storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePhotoGuy Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 yesterday afternoon the deck was pretty much clear and you could see grass but it started snowing again and after dark it slowly accumulated again: rain/snow showers possible this afternoon too. Love the sky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 It was pretty yesterday morning watching the snow fall. By the time I got home, half the snow was already melted and the yard was full of bare spots against. I'm sure the rest will melt today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are several miles of pretty flat high country there. My property is on the west side 1200' down from South Branch Mountain. There were still large north facing areas up there that were completely white before this last snow. Glad you got out to enjoy Timberline yesterday, it was a perfect ski day. More pictures out the window this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
