snownut Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Intensity definitely building. Some of the heaviest of the day right now. Check out how this outer band is exploding over Frederick County, Clarke and Loudoun Counties. We are heading for our best 3 hour period I believe. http://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?product=NCR&rid=LWX&loop=yes Hope so? It is picking up here in Clarke County, winds are up and some drifting now, temperature is steadily falling. Heading back out to pick up my wife at the hospital in a few minutes, roads mostly empty earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Wind is already screwing with my eyeball estimate, but I'd say probably near 2" on surfaces where it started accumnulating right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattskiva Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I am working from home today. At Timberline. . Conditions are phenomenal. 6+ inches new so far, pouring snow. Had a break around noon, totally stopped snowing and sun even came out briefly, I assume back end of clipper before redevelopment? Then about an hour later, bam, highest rates yet. Could barely see ground from the lift. I was here Sunday, it was good but amazing today. About 15 inches last five days. Temp dropping like a stone out here too... I am guessing the drive home at 5pm may be problematic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solo2 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I forget how much north of me are you. It is snowing like crazy down here and has been for sometime. May be that I am not in the city so it seems like it is more intense. I only a few miles North of you as the bird flies, but it also maybe that my apartment faces SE, which is sheltering some of the visual with the current wind direction. The returns have been better from Ballanger on south, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOMDweather Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Finally getting some good snows down here in St. Mary's. Had some sleet for a couple hours. Down to 25 here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow. Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Responding to snow./zwyts about the RR: The reflectivity doesn't show it as well as the snowfall rates, but there is a lull in there around 6pm, and then we fill in again until it is over. Thanks and makes sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebman Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 very light snow, just over an inch. I need to find a new point and click thermometer sensor. Stuck at 27 degrees. I dont know how the main roads are, but my road in the subdivision is still half covered. Same with the sidewalks. I wish the temp would fall a few more degrees to get the roads to stick better.

mattskiva Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Driving out this am, left about 7, nary a flake until I reached Strasburg, then moderate to heavy snow the whole way to Davis. Once the main batch hits it is good stuff. Roads including highways were totally covered with several inches of snow the entire way after Strasburg. No other cars, nobody else crazy enough maybe.
