BlizzardNole Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Looks like 2.5 to 3" on the deck; 33 degrees. Our last two real snowfalls are March 25 and October 29 (2011). LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Mike Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Congrats to all. It was the shear force of the will of the weenies that made this happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 looks like it is picking up a bit again here....melts pretty fast when the rate went down I'm hanging on to 32.1. Hopefully it stays until the best rates are over. Regardless, this one has already destroyed by 1.5" expectations. yay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDIII Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 32/31 - 2.25" I guess you are the closest to DCA.. could we have a steak beaker... what is the official word from the airport? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herb@MAWS Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Traffic Report. Drove Columbia to SE DC between 5am-6:15am. Normally takes 45-50 mins; today 75 mins. Mod-Hvy snow for entire trip except for about 15 mins when it lightened up. I-95 SB to 495 was slushy and slow. Avg speed 30mph but kudos to folks driving. No jerks or stupid passing. Everyone just lined up and went patiently. Conditions better from I-495 to DC, avg speed approx 45 mph. Roads wet w/only minor pockets of slush, although was surprised that M St, SE was fairly slushy at 6:15am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWxLuvr Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Oh, my call of 2-4 out here and 1-2 down there was a bust. Low!!!!! And, as I called yesterday, so was LWX's. Call it like it is, that was a horrible forecast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTRWx Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I measured between 2.5 and 3.5 inches in the yard with an inch on roads in south Alexandria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDIII Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 At 5:30 I had a solid 2.5 and I am inside the Baltimore beltway... woke up at 3:00 to take my puppy out and there was a little bit of whie on my car. So 2.5 inches in two hours. An inch an hour and it looks like it could go for another three hours. I would love to see warning criteria. That would constitute a reverse bust.

WinterWxLuvr Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Looking at the current radar, I think Balt ends up the big winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDIII Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I can't believe the schools shut down for a few inches of slush...we have about 3" here too in Westminster. It is all perception.. in a blockbuster year like 09-10, I remember clipper coming through that dropped like 4 inches and Carrol County stayed open.

I-83 BLIZZARD Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I can't believe the schools shut down for a few inches of slush...we have about 3" here too in Westminster. In this region light rain causes tons of accidents and snarls traffic. Put slush and snow on the road with heavy snow falling, then throw school buses in the mix it creates an unmitigated disaster.
