Amped Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Picking up again here. Have about the same as Mrs J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmlwx Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Updated total around 3-3.25 perhaps. Accumulations slowed between bands but should be picking up here again with that expanding area of returns. Very pretty outside. Measurement subject to blowing/drifting, though.

Jebman Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Am I the only one that never got big, fat, flakes, minus one time in the original band? I did see a few fatties in the original band way back at 11am but since then it has been very small flakes falling thickly. I seem to be one half inch behind your totals so far. How much do you have?

usedtobe Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 23/22, about ~2"...will try to get a better measurement..sticking easily everywhere...snow intensity picking way up after a quasi-lull...I'm a happy camper...hoping for 1-2" more I'm at 2.25 and think another 2" is a decent bet with the stuff now enhances back towards warrenton. The RAP actually gave me .10" after 00Z. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthArlington101 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I did see a few fatties in the original band way back at 11am but since then it has been very small flakes falling thickly. I seem to be one half inch behind your totals so far. How much do you have? A little more then 3", probably nearing on 3.5" since I'm in this exploding DC area of heavier precip. With fat flakes it would be an inch an hour, probably 1/2 that at this moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Radar looks great for the I-95 area. Don't abandon all hope down in EZF. Radar is filling in from the SW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poolz1 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 20f and about 6" on the ground. Really surprised the radar filled back in to our W and NW…..interesting storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhineasC Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 About 5 here, it looks like. Piling up really well right now. Feels like 2/10/10 minus not sinking up to my waist in the snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 After an extensive yard, deck, driveway measurement I am spotting it at 8". I am in a decent band now too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solo2 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 It has become pretty impossible to measure out here now. Somewhere b/w 6 and 8" would be my guess and starting to really pick back up. 19.4 out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gymengineer Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Selected cameras around 3:40pm You keep on showing camera shots within 2 miles of where I am right now As I posted earlier, it's hard to get 355 with any snow cover in the Rockville stretch.

birdsofprey02 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 What makes the flakes faster and why hasn't it happened for much of our area? Flakes probably fall at the same rate in general. Heavier precip is just more flakes, not specifically flakes that are falling faster. How do you get heavier rates? strong bands and saturation of the clouds. Much of MD, especially to the north, has had heavy snow since at least noon or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebman Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 This is probably just a radar hallucination on my part, but it looks like that big green blob that covers DCA, is expanding south and is now only about 8 miles north of Dale City Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmtgolf1 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Winds and snow picking up again in New Market, MD. Last time I measured about 8", probably some drifting/blowing in there. Currently 21 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
