February 25th-26th snow threat disco and obs

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.

 

send her to spotter classes.

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.

 

AU was running 0.2" ahead of me as of 10:30, and I got under better returns, so you probably got 2.25" at home

 

I didn't go to the park a block from my pad, but they probably had 2"...roof measurement probably boosted me 0.2"...I just dont like grass measurements, and bench measurements are low since they have huge gaps and are usually tilted...

DCA showing 3 on the ground now. Maybe they'll surprise us

we know they were under killer radar...it all depends whether they measured as soon as it lightened up....If they waited they probably lost 0.1" every 5 seconds

Not sure the total difference between the METAR obs and the official but I think they measure in a different spot.

I'm sure the airports measured and just aren't reporting...They report early a lot more than they used to..you used to have to wait until the CLI most of the time..

yeah probably.. here's a close one:
