usedtobe Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 This band is awesome! Wes, its heading your way. I know it's got me excited. My friend buzz called all discouraged about an hour ago and I told him I thought it was backbuilding and we'd see our 4 inches and I had not seen the band that has developed. Looks to me like another inch is conservative. Love me some big vort snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowpocalypse Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 colora cecil county just got to 10 inches superband earlier put down 4 in 2 hrs! prob another 2 My question is does the heavier bands around DC and Baltimore slide up into Cecil? or across the bay? I cant tell. One minute i think i see the direction its moving the next im second guessing myself. any trained eyes looking at this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 1.5" since 5pm. 5.5" and dumping. 6" is now in play. Very high ratio snow. If your going to measure do it soon. It will either quickly settle or blow away if you wait too long. It definitely settles and compacts. I had 4+" at 3pm, cleaned off my car and have another ~2.5" on my car as of 6pm. But when I measure on the grass (well, when I did an hour ago) it was still just under 6". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scuddz Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Was out there...took a nice walk up 16th and then back down 14th. It's wonderful in the city when it actually snows here. I'm always jealous of you city folk when it gets really snowy. It's just different strolling around in the Suburbs, much rather be walking around downtown.

needbiggerboat Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Watching radar and outside feels like 09/10 again...not saying it's superior, just has that type of feel as that deform band has built up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GATECH Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Was just about to go outside, opened front door huge gust of wind curled all the snow from roof into my face. Quickly retreated back inside. Awesome stuff. Wind howling, temp 21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattmfm Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Best ratios of the day here in DC, bit over 5" and probably bordering on 1"/hr in this band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ltrain Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 4" now and waiting for that band. I should hit 5" easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when I measure on the grass (well, when I did an hour ago) it was still just under 6". Compaction also is impacting me here I think. Measurements have only been creeping up even during the big bursts. I'm thinking I'm probably 6-7 in reality despite measuring in the 5-6 range.

stormtracker Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 I'm always jealous of you city folk when it gets really snowy. It's just different strolling around in the Suburbs, much rather be walking around downtown. It really is something special about it. Took the iphone, listen to Holst's The Planets (Jupiter) and just walked around...all the lights on the buildings and you can see the snow just pouring.

PrinceFrederickWx Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 We're getting hit pretty good here this evening. I think its snowing harder than it was this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebman Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 SICK, SICK band! Heavy snow pouring down, snow is up to 4 inches deep, all the wild onions in the back yard are covered up. We are getting demolished! If this is what was annihilating Frederick MD earlier I can see why they hit 9-10 inches. Its 20 degrees with really great snow to water ratios in one hell of a sick band!

BTRWx Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Averaging out, I'm up to ~3.5" with nice rates and moderate snow falling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodneyS Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Heaviest snow since March 2013. That's true for me, too, at least so far. Where I am, near the Reston/Herndon border, the March 6, 2013 event was about six inches, despite the near total bust in DC. So far, I've received only about 3.5 inches in this event.

KAOS Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Just got back from the store again and it is rippin snow. Roads still suck. Also shoveled the driveway again.

ravensrule Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 8.3" and still ripping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebman Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Wind gust to 32 mph! Wow it was a virtual whiteout! The heavy snow plus all the dry snow blowing off the roofs and off the ground looked like a milkshake froth! This storm is a Winner!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalfy Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Absolutely perfect outside. I timed a 40 minute walk just as the best rates came in. Nothing's better than trekking through your neighborhood while heavy snow is falling and the wind is whipping everything around (not to mention seeing the cool dunes made by it as well). I only wish I had a camera with me to take pictures of everything. Obs: Temp: 15 Heavy Snow (unsure of measurement, too much drifiting for accurate measurement.

usedtobe Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 We are giddy. You should be excited if it holds together. When it arrives I need you to go out, have Mrs. Junker take a pic of you making a snow angel and then post it. That has as much chance of happening as me winning the lotto. I am excited as this makes CWG look good and we'll have plenty of snow to really affect minumum temps the next two days and of course, I really like heavy snow. If I get 5 inches I'll have had two this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmlwx Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 It has lightened up slightly but it is still coming down nicely enough to accumulate some more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
