Jebman Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I think 10 is doable near the Mason Dixon. Mapgirl has 4, I'm over 3, great ratios, 26.2 outside and plenty more snow to fall with ratios improving. This is a win for a good chunk of our region. I think DC will break the snow curse! Over performers and upside surprises are the best! This is definitely a surprise down here. We were forecast to have a high of 45 degrees. We were forecast to have rain, then some snow likely after midnight. Instead we got rain and sleet right from the outset at 330pm, the high was only 38, and the rain and sleet changed to snow as of 620pm. This is definitely a surprise. Already have a car topping. This just might be an overperformer here. Time will tell. 32/31 with moderate snow, big a$$ flakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilton Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Took an hour to get the 8 miles from Reston to Ashburn. Might be a mini-commutageddon at least on the toll road corridor. Commutageddon: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthArlington101 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Roads started to get covered in North Arlington. Steady light/moderate snow, don't see the pivot happening in time/at all. Honestly don't see a reason on radar for precip to continue past 930-1000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 1.5" at least. I think 2" is a lock for MBY. New goal is 3.2" for biggest snow to-date of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshfsu123 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Big, heavy flakes now falling at good clip... ground is getting white (not the roads yet tho). Cars, grass are all turning white quickly as the snow starts to stick. Temp is now 31.2 at the Weatherbug station at Nationals Stadium. DCA is down to 35.6 as well.

I-83 BLIZZARD Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Wow on the 5 inches at Parkton at 6:00pm by the spotter. Pouring snow here right now so double digit totals should be common. Mapgirl jackpot for certain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87storms Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 getting some sporadic side street and sidewalk stickage now. it's gone from a slopfest to a semi-slopfest. moderate snow, and will probably need it until the temps drop another couple degrees.

H2O Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Temp dropped 2 degrees in an hour to 34. Thats when it switched to more snow. Gonna just watch and see what happens. Some of the pics posted look really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebman Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Lawns are turning white, looks like a quarter inch of snow on the cartop, bushes, and the top of the fence. Road is wet as are the sidewalks. EDIT - Reflectivity off the road is changing, preconsolidation is beginning. Snow is sticking there. Snow is sparkly in spots, snow may be getting drier. Temp still 32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
