k94 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 This is just legendary. Heaviest of the night. I've said it multiple times, but just when i think it can't get any better, it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Balti Zen Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Couldn't believe my multiple measurements of 8" already in Dundalk, MD. Nuts, sick rates right now as the 40dbz batch is moving in. I just did a 4 am measurement (and shoveled my walks)...I am at 8 inches also. Legit.

Deck Pic Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 where are you in DC now again? Just did measurement and got 7.8" near Thomas Circle...I'm sure I picked up more since last measurement but I doubt I am more than 6.5"...we've probably had more rimed flakes and a little sleet too....I dont do as well as Ian and Randy, so makes sense though 7.8" seems a bit high to me....you slant-sticking it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nj2va Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Just went outside to measure. Definitely a lot of rimmed flakes, which I'm guessing is what I'm hearing against the window during a big wind gust, but all snow still. 7.75" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueapple Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 King You might be closer to me than NJ2VA is. I'm in Fairlington but our place backs to Rt 7. Makes sense that our precip obs line up so well. I used to be across in Alexandria in the Park Place building off Van Dorn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
