RevWarReenactor Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 This storm storm seems to be getting out of here in a hurry. Unless rates pickup I think it is going to be a bust for a lot of areas. Seems like a 1 or 2 inch event along I-95. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usedtobe Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 0.2" so far at DCA....only 0.3" more for the NAM to verify Just had a plow got thru, I might have had 0.50 before I went to rain but it was gone by the time the plow came through. What a joke, what a forecast debacle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I took this a few minutes ago image.jpg not bad.. we have more snow though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hosj III Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Final tally for snow is 1.56 inches Snow falling, maybe some rain mixing in. Never got any sleet. Confused why rates remained so anemic. Where was the 1-2 inches and hour people were talking about? That snow is very wet, probably wetter than 1/26/11. Quite likely we came close to verifying on Euro QPF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Pretty much done. Sitting at an identical 1.3" to Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Well, 1.75 today and 1.5 on sunday is 3.25 on the year. Today is another bitter pill but I've taken so many of those pills last couple years that I've built up a good tolerance. If another band comes through and I get another .25" I'll slantstick the F out of it and verify the wsw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aldie 22 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Appears I was correct yesterday in saying it was a 3-4 hr storm. I guess it will snizzle for a few hours to prove me wrong but really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't even know what a bitter pill is, making a bad forecast and also getting screwed and getting less snow than anyone else, that's a bitter pill. DCA and the power of the positive AO and snow drought lives one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only Dec 10 At least a good part of the area should clip the low end of the forecast so it won't look like the hugest bust ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing that sucks is if you got good snow you would be more bullish with the next marginal threat. I can already read your next article before you even write it. I think I would have been close to 3 - 3.5 if my temp didn't spike at onset. But it is what it is. GFS will be out soon so we can see our next phail.

DDweatherman Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Many outlets better hope that last band in n va is heavy snow to get some areas up to 2" lets remember, we always thought this was a nice 1-3,2-4 until not that long ago. This for some is sadly still a nice event of late. Tempered expectations go a long way in our current setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Well, it was a quick hitter so the excitement caused some of the great memories to be missed.

A surprise dusting can be more fun than 4 inches in a 8-12 forecast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldie 22 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Is it still gonna get cold or did we mess that up too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlet Pimpernel Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 An inch or a tad more here in Silver Spring, snow is very light with small flakes. I think the slight fog is reducing the visibility more than any snow is right now. This is feeling like Groundhog Day. Woke up this morning and swore it was still March 6!! (EDIT: Difference is, the March 5-6 event there was a lot of uncertainty in the models in terms of temperatures and precipitation amounts. The NAM and SREF went hog-wild on the QPF, the GFS was less so, and it was really unclear if we'd have the rates with temperatures a bit above freezing. In today's event, there was pretty widespread agreement on ~0.50" precipitation, cold enough temperatures, and the start time looked ominous for traffic.)
