StudentOfClimatology Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I'm sure we'll end up mixing eventually, but I have a hunch that folks along and west of the fall-line will remain below freezing through the storm. I've been hovering at around 23-24 degrees for the past several hours, which is colder than all guidance had progged for me at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SomeguyfromTakomaPark Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 WTOP radar seems to be showing a sleetnado south of La Plata I'm seeing that too. Is there anything else that could be besides sleet? Ridiculous heavy snow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDweatherman Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Getting smashed in Dundalk, around 2.5" with 1"/hr rates currently. The band in S MD is extremely intense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dailylurker Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Just took a hour long "jebwalk" here in the crofton area. Heaviest snow I've been in since 2010 as the death band moved through. Awesome storm! Mother nature is giving us a great show. Back to lurking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caviman2201 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Probably a bad idea to have a Starbucks DoubleShot to stay up till 3 am But getting close to 3" now Screw it... this doesn't happen often...

StudentOfClimatology Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 That band keeps getting thicker and thicker...45dbz showing up now on radarscope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacindc Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Yeah, maybe I won't be upset if the yellow and orange in that band slide to my east. That can't still be snow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skywalker03 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 A little over 2 inches so far in derwood MD. Got in a little of the heavier action from the northern band and now watching the band south of DC head our way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fodie77 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Having gone through that band in RIC, I can safely say that whoever it hits is going to get smashed. That band was pure snowfog in beast mode and it's only looked better since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scraff Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Been waiting to say for days now. Rippin here in Easterm HoCo. And it's just the appetizer apparently. 2.5 down of fluff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StudentOfClimatology Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 My friend in La Plata says she has golfball sized flakes and cannot see across her street from her balcony. And yeah I woke her up to get that report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyhb Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Yeah, maybe I won't be upset if the yellow and orange in that band slide to my east. That can't still be snow?

bigjohndc Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 In that lull between the bands I was going to bed, but with about 2 inches already, I have to see the 45dz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grhqofb5 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Yeah hopefully we don't see more reports that far north this early. Queenstown is right on the water. Probably an anomaly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SabreAce33 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Got warm here much faster than expected. Had maybe 40 minutes of light snow before changeover. Just a cold, unpleasant rain here now. Hope it stays cold for you guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
