Ian Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I might have missed it but what do you have right now or at least measurement. I'm around 2-2.5 right now on the front steps (brick). Seems most of that has been within last hour or so.I guess you guys were behind me then was already at 2" an hour ago. Maybe that impacts my earlier statement just assumed you already had 4 or something. not like it really matters much at this pt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Balti Zen Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Woo hoo! A legit three inches and pouring snow. Also, several good runs down a sweet hill at Baltimore country club before getting chased off. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it's a bit higher in the grass on the lawn but I was too lazy to put better shoes/boots on. Accumulating fast here still right now, though. I'm pretty sure 4-5 at least is a lock here.

usedtobe Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 18z RAP is nice... another .3 to .4 QPF Where do you get the graphics that show it's total accumulation? I look at the NCEP site and wxbell and don't see the option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lpaschall Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I made a post a little earlier that I have been getting just over an inch an hour averaged since 7am. But my temps have been colder than the lower elevetions. I have not measured but just came back in from shoveling the deck and I would guess about 6" so far..

usedtobe Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 25, windy, +SN last I checked...sticking everywhere McPherson square I hope the heavy gets back down here. I'm also at 25 and it's snowing steadily (a good solid light that is not quite moderate). I don't like the small flakes, it cuts down on the fluff factor.

weathergeek Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 2:10 p.m. update: Snow is falling at a decent clip and accumulating north of I-66, including over much of the District. However, south of I-66 in Virginia, you get into possible “bust” territory, and the snow decreases in intensity. This may well be the pattern for the next several hours. Yes, the snow may expand some to the south, but if you live in southern Fauquier, Stafford and southern Prince William counties, or to the south, your chances of getting more than a couple inches of snow aren’t great. from CWG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grothar of Herndon Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 My guess is you will be wrong, on the low side. Looks like the banding is building and backing, so IAD should start to pick up in a hour or so. I'd be OK with 4.5, but I think it's closer to 8-10 for the event. I agree that we are going to raked over the next several hours. I am at little of 2" now and think will end up 6-8" at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtracker Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 Very nice outside now....snow now sticking to 16th street, main thoroughfare. I would say about 2" here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huffwx Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 2:10pm: 25 heavy Snow about 2-1/4 inches so far. 1:15pm: 25 Heavy Snow. about 1.5 inches so far. 12:32pm: 26 Mod snow. Flakes bigger. Picking up in intensity. Roads and sidewalks still clear. 11:54am: 28 Light snow. Pixie dust. Streets and sidewalks still wet. About 3/4 inch so far on hard surfaces. 11:21am: 29 Mod snow. All big flakes. Peak wind: 14 mph. 11:04am: 29 Mod snow with giant flakes mixing in. (beginning of deathband) Peak wind 11mph. 10:37am: 29 Light Snow No stickage to roads or sidewalks still. 10:00am: 31 Mod Snow 9:30am: 32 Furries 9:00am: 33 No precip I'd think that 4 hours of moderate and one hour of heavy would give you more than 2.25 inches.
