Ian Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 You never want to be too close to the larger liquid drop offs. DC look fine at this pt but glad we aren't any further south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2O Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Agreed. Snow is petering out in PW county. Definitely an underperformer. Will be interesting to compare everyone's final amount of qpf with what was modeled. Like someone said this morning and yesterday, with these coastal transfers it's hard to predict amounts. North and west areas just can't be denied this winter. P sure most areas up that way will meet or exceed climo after this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
84 Hour NAM Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Old Town has mod snow but tiny flakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midatlanticweather Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Leesburg is definitely the biggest loser from this storm based on wasted potential The heaviest snow set up only a few miles further west than me too. So Leesburg to Purcellville seems to be a much lighter spot.. some meso situation. I dunno - still pretty.. Snow blower will be going after I finish up 3 more things for work!

Disc Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Lol. It's sleeting. I'm enjoying my brown grass too. Atleast the temp has drop from a half a degree since 6 this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormpc Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Intensity picking up here in Prince William. Hoping the reflections shooting up from sw VA can link up with the good stuff to my north. Either way, I'm happy. 25.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nj2va Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 You never want to be too close to the larger liquid drop offs. DC look fine at this pt but glad we aren't any further south. Seems like just south of the Beltwayish based on obs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midatlanticweather Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 It is absolutely dumping right now. And with the blowing snow it is near whiteout during the wind gusts. Amazing! That just will not come east or stay filled in for me.. how much do you have now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow blower will be going after I finish up 3 more things for work!You often get sinking air near bands so little dry holes form around them etc. My snow has been consistently better than it looks on radar right next to it tho.

NorthArlington101 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 lighter stuff seems to be moving in do we have a shot at more and better rates later? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidlothianWX Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Current measurment at 9" but with wind I am taking off an inch and say 8". Very nice! I was in FDK twice over the past few weeks visiting friends but it looks like my timing was off. The valley sucks sometimes for snow but then on days like today the latitude comes into play and it's all worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 This will still be a storm where NW DC will have 4" and DCA will record 1.8"DCA is probably already there or headed there. No way they get less than 2" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravensrule Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Just measured but very difficult because of all the blowing but i have an average of 4.8". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gymengineer Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 You never want to be too close to the larger liquid drop offs. DC look fine at this pt but glad we aren't any further south. Yep, that final 50 miles looks to possibly be used up today.... although, sometimes we do arrive at the original forecast amount in unexpected ways, after it all looked like a bust... like 12/11/89, 2/25/05, 2/28/05, 3/1/09, 2/9-10/10, and many more. There still should be a N-S oriented band extending well into VA early evening.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchnick Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Lol. It's sleeting. I'm enjoying my brown grass too. Atleast the temp has drop from a half a degree since 6 this morning. sorry to hear that but from our perspective up here, it's probably a good sign as it shows a surge in warm air aloft that will result in increased precip up here you should turn back, though, so hang in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
