Bob Chill Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 4 accum events in march. 3 were totally legit. April may just produce another one. Couple cold shots on the means during the first 2 weeks. We might get 3" in the 50's with how this winter has gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthArlington101 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 It's march 30 and you're complaining it's not all snow at your house. It was mainly sarcasm. Mainly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I don't think I can motivate myself to take pics of this one. I'll recycle a pic from last year or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BHweather Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Took 28 back from sugarloaf. Solid inch on road from Dickerson to dawsonville. Not much east of there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrinceFrederickWx Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 All heavy snow now here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighStakes Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Up there, it shouldn't shock you You got the elevation, and with a strong ULL producing column cooling and good rates, it sticks. Despite all those who overstate the sun angle deal....it happens. Can't underplay this one even fo up here. This is about as bad as it gets for this late in the season. A legitimate plowable event in the middle of the afternoon on March 30th is probably a 1 in every 25/30 year event. Street was just plowed now it's covered up again. Over 4 inches now. This is not your typical spring snow not even close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebman Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I have really great, steady rates right now. I can't even begin to express how happy I am to be receiving all of this steady heavy RAIN. It's accumulating everywhere. I got lakes all over my front lawn. My north lawn is a muddy quagmire. I'll tack on another 2-3 inches worth of fresh RAIN by 2am at this rate. Many creeks are about to go into full flood. Temps are also on the rise. 38 degrees and counting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not your typical spring snow not even close. Could be worse though, the Palm Sunday storm of 1942 was a legit HECS in central and northern MD, with up to 30" in Carroll county at the end of March and 22" in Baltimore.

Bob Chill Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 There is no way to spin this as being expected or normal. This event overcame a lot to make it happen. Many of us saw accum snow and some saw near warning criteria. And basically a crap airmass in all directions and its almost June Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
das Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 This was 70 westbound approaching Mt. Airy at 5pm. By the time I got back to Clarksburg, it had changed back to rain. I'll have to rely on others for the Clarksburg total but it looked well over an inch that was quickly turning into slop. trim.DCEB065A-0190-4FE4-92E1-51EC527032C6.MOV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacintoshPro Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Why did it change back to rain? There was super heavy snow in Arlington for 30 minutes, and then it started mixing with sleet, and then changed to all rain. I thought temps were supposed to drop tonight.

Jebman Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 amazing though, getting about a quarter inch of slush on the grass and car tops on March 30 before the rainblitz blasted back into town. At this time of year, a quarter inch of slush is a WIN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Still one of the crappiest weekends in a long time weatherwise IMBY. Sorry. No doubt. This weekend sucked.

As it falls, It melts and goes to plain rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebman Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 but it won't always stick like it did today to the street driveway at this time of year unless rates are insane. It didn't start to changeover here until around 2:30pm to boot. Congrats Sparky on your snow. I hope you get ten inches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WEATHER53 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 1" on snowboard, probably has snowed 3" but hard to accumulate, 33.5* and yellow approching plus the west to east move is crawling, barely 10mph, this should go on for another 90-120 minutes.
