Ian Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I believe it was the 1/26/11 event where IAD had 9 inches on the ground in their METAR but then reported something like 7" for the storm...which of course made absolutely no sense since the snow depth prior to the event was 0. I'd think this is an event they should do ok in. They got in on the best bands and temps were below freezing for that stuff. Maybe lost a smidge on the front end but even at home there wasn't much accumulation prior to 9a. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe lost a smidge on the front end but even at home there wasn't much accumulation prior to 9a. They lost maybe 0.25" on the front since they were 34-35....if they come in with anything less than 1.7", it is a joke....they were under the better returns...my guess is 1.8" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a little more than a dusting.. maybe .25" by 9a, so sounds about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harv_poor Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Sitting on the Tarmac at Reagan for about 35 minutes now. Because of the need to de-ice, no gates are available. Not sure how much longer I will be out here? The snow has just about stopped. Wish I could get out and measure for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowfan Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Congrats to who got the 2.5- 3 " totals ...really nice event for DC on south and west. We missed out up here but we will get more chances for sure. It can snow at your house on memorial day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebman Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 My understanding was that we were supposed to see snow flurries today. Why do I have 4 inches of wet snow in Dale City? Why is there no topic in this forum on TODAYS snowstorm?

And congrats to you guys east, what a surprise for you guys. Fringed out here. 1/4" before the sun peaked through the clouds and instantly melted everything. Not a trace left within 30 minutes.

das Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I'm worried that it'll be mostly melted by the time I get home, so your measurement will probably be included in the mix when I calculate my total. Me too. My wife measured 1.3" at home in Clarksburg but her "measurements" leave a little something to be desired when it comes to process. Any other Clarksburg obs would be appreciated. Measured 1.5" downtown at 18th and F, NW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoda Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Sent in my report of 2.4 inches... looks to be about right with the reports on here and on the earlier SR's... it is melting some I dunno who that spotter is that reported 3.5 though... I think that is quite generous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 lol, pretty sad considering how favorable the upper-levels are. Dat sun angle.Work is in a pretty urban area plus some leftover warmth probably. Perhaps could have called it 2" but I'll prob just go with Matt's number as my personal total.

Deck Pic Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 lol, pretty sad considering how favorable the upper-levels are. Dat sun angle. It is also falling on surfaces that are like 100 degrees...this one had no chance at lower elevations if it was -SN of being more than 0.5" or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
