KAOS Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Saturday too but return flow with the low to the north will take us above feezing for the first time in a few days Yes, unfortunately/fortunately? I am well aware of this. Btw...Did I mention I like to finish the last "shoveling" of my walk and driveway just prior to the end of a storm. I prefer the fresh look the last inch or so puts on top of the "shovelings". Also... I find the look of dirty and clumpy snow disturbing. Should I seek counseling?

joelhousman Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Just finished shoveling the drive and the sidewalk. I live just NE of Warrenton by about 3 miles, immediately west of Vint Hill by about 1/2 mile. I measured 5 different spots around my yard and on the sidewalk and got measurements between 6" to 6.5".

DUSTINMFOX Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 4.5" in Centreville VA off Stone Rd. No idea how IAD ended up with 7.1 five miles away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinylfreak89 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 the 8 in Germantown was me. The lowest I measured was 6.5 in an area that was prone to drifting. While walking the dog in more protected areas, I was measuring anywhere from 10-13 in protected areas but areas also prone to drifting. So I split the difference and went with 8. This type of snow is very near impossible to measure due to the wind, compaction, and low water content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amped Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 How often is the last place to report snow during a Washington to Boston storm Norfolk Virginia? Strange exit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiscaster Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I thought the same thing dustinmfox--maybe Dulles was measuring in a drift. You got 0.6" more snow than me and you are probably less than a mile than me, though, so who knows. Speaking of drifting, I haven't had much here. Not much wind at all. I live in Death Valley.

MidlothianWX Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 19.4, light snow, 2.0" Nice little event for the RIC area. I didn't think the ULL could get it done this far NW but the back building continued through the evening hours. Temps in the teens with SN is a cool experience, especially at this latitude. http://youtu.be/OxuSqZz6mEQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I'm no "trained spotter", but my deck measured 8 inches on the nose. Fantastic day of obs here, sledding, drinking, and eating spicy shrimp gumbo. I want MORE. When!? You guys-and you know who you are--were freaking money today. I gotta keep keep working to hone in on this craft / obsession / hobby. Cheers! I was thinking totals should be near 8" for me, and you're pretty close to me I believe. The last spotter reports I saw though were less and sometimes way less. Not sure why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "2 W Elkridge" spotter is one of the closest to me and that one only had 5" at 640pm last night which seems really low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldie 22 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Someone from the public reported 8.5" in leesburg...not at my house...Ji measured 7" around 6pm and it snowed another 4 hours...trained spotter had 7.3" so that is my official Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlizzardNole Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Observation about some of these amounts that stand out -- in Montgomery Co we had a 9.8 from near Montgomery Village (spotter) and an 8.8 just east of Gaithersburg (public). In that last good band that came thru in the evening, I noticed on radar that it really blew up just SE of me for a while before weakening. It looked like a summer shower with the elongated yellow strip when it was right over those spots that had the highest reports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnis Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I measured 7 " last night then I went out this a.m. and measured 6.5 in several places... I must have had my snow googles on last night. Lol... or compaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
