blueapple Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Hey guys, sorry if this is an inappropriate question, but where can I find a map that give me the current positioning of the low? I'm out on Delmarva and hoping against hope that the best is yet to come (I'm stuck at about 1.5"). I see the precip coming up from Richmond and some digging taking place, but am curious about the positioning of the LP. Thanks in advance. http://www.hpc.ncep.noaa.gov/sfc/lrgnamsfcwbg.gif high res from HPC (WPC) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astarck Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 About 3.75 in Shirlington. Just swept the snow board for this last death band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Coming down pretty hard and blowing snow in Arlington. Washington Blvd near the Clarendon metro looks to have a thin layer of snow on it again after the plows came through earlier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
09-10 analogy Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 48 hours ago I was expecting nothing. 24 hours ago I was getting suckered in (as usual) by the high-end estimates and thinking, why not 6-8"? I'm ending up around 4-4.5" unless that band to the NW expands a bit. I suppose I should be happy. It's pretty and I had fun sledding with my daughter. And tonight with the brutal cold and wind, ought to make for a nice stroll. I'm still letdown. Generally, I'm realistic about expectations -- some who know me might say, too rigorously realistic. But with snowstorms, I'm always thinking I can pick up that 7-10 split. What was it Einstein said?: -- Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting the same results. Well (for me at least) this hobby is the inverse: expecting to realize my high-end hopes -- a different outcome, where I beat expectations and the forecast --- when, in fact, over and over again, the results are the same: falling short of the forecast and therefore, my expectations. (I was probably coming to terms by aligning my expectations with the reality of DC snow climo, but then 09-10 happened, which wasn't only like picking up the 7-10 split, but bowling it while blindfolded --- over and over again. So much, then, for Einstein; stick to e=mc2, dude.) But does this obsession, or rather the frustration engendered by this obsession -- and "obsession" really isn't the right word, perhaps "habit" would be better -- have any kind of material or psychological affect on me? Of course not. Sp that's why this is not a bad obsession to have. If I'm going to let my expectations off their leash, then snowstorms are a benign context for so doing. It's like letting your dog run wild in a fenced in dog park rather than, say, Shenandoah. Meanwhile, as I was writing all this confessional nonsense, the band seems to be encroaching. So maybe BSing on a weather board is the way to meet those expectations after all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amped Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Kind of wierd how Boston gets in the band before DC, but it does appear to be back building for another couple inches around the Beltway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peribonca Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 This uber band in DC is looking like 1 inch/hour and may sit over us a while. Hard to get a good measurement with the winds. SWEET! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skywalker03 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Derwood MD. This is a great band. Everything that was touched by a shovel or plow in my neighborhood is re-covered. We've easily gotten another .5 to .75 from this band. I hope the back edge stays put for a whole longer, but at this point I'm pretty darn happy.

Joshfsu123 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 This band should last at least an hour, maybe even 2 hours, before moving through... nice! Rates have increased again in Navy Yard --- roads that were managed for most of the day by crews and some traffic have now become completely snow covered with the cold temps and rates.

terpsnation Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 This storm is just the gift that keeps on giving.

ravensrule Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 7.6" and barfing snow right now. Bwi just came in with 4.0" and breaks a daily record, which was very easy to do since it was 2.0" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grothar of Herndon Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 19/16 SN Really coming down and big flakes. 4.5" I am thinking we can get to 5-6" given the band we are under right now. Radar looks really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blazeKing Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Best snow of the day right now..Closing in on 1.5" in EZF , cold and windy. Last event was 2.5", hoping we can get more this time. Maybe 3" or 4 if lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
