Kmlwx Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I'll Ask again do you think Bay counties will get blizzard warning later I think it's possible. They will probably just let the WSW cover it. Blizzard warning criteria is pretty strict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2O Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Agree with CWG. Above I66/ Rt 50 and west of I95 north looks like the better place to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

needbiggerboat Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I'd think that 4 hours of moderate and one hour of heavy would give you more than 2.25 inches. Was thinking the same thing about her obs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

09-10 analogy Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 2.75" or so. Good moderate snow, but evidently not like what is occurring just a few miles to my NW. Areas around Germantown look like they're getting crushed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCA Weather Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 My guess IAD ends up with 4.5", rates have been unimpressive for the last 3 hours Seems like it has been just on the verge of getting cranking here in Ashburn......but it hasn't. It has been snowing steadily, but mostly lightly, all day. Will probably end up with 5" or so, which sounds about right. Falls right into low end of those 5-9" forecasts.

clskinsfan Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 She will probably hit a foot. Thats awesome. I hope someone does. I think I will fall just short of double digits. 8-9. Somewhere around there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebman 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 Agreed on that point. I have seen very small snow grains for at least the past 2 hours. It looks like we have nearly 2 inches of snow grains on the grass and maybe a half inch on the road. Well at least it IS snowing. Maybe I can make 3 inches? Models pretty much nailed it early this morning. Radar trends corroborate the models well, from northern and northwestern DCA north to the mason dixon line is where most of the forcing set up and will continue to develop and intensify. Higher elevation helps a lot too. Higher els and maryland should hit 10 plus. NW Washington will also cash in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wonderdog Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Agree with CWG. Above I66/ Rt 50 and west of I95 north looks like the better place to be. Agreed. Snow is petering out in PW county. Definitely an underperformer. Will be interesting to compare everyone's final amount of qpf with what was modeled. Like someone said this morning and yesterday, with these coastal transfers it's hard to predict amounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midatlanticweather Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 We have had intermittant light to moderate snow the last few hours.. I have not officially measured, but unofficially I am close to 4 inches. I have Satellite internet and that is my challenge now as the dish keeps getting covered and interrupting my stream. 19 degrees. Pretty outside!

gymengineer Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 For the first time since briefly on 1/26/2011, Rockville Pike (355) is actually acquiring some snow cover in front of my building. The stretch in front of my building is well-traveled, always well-treated and plowed, and never entirely snow covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winterymix Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Current measurment at 9" but with wind I am taking off an inch and say 8". Here is a better-validated technique: select three locations on your property, best if the are away from trees and buildings. If placing a yardstick onto the ground, don't force it too far or leave an airgap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
