09-10 analogy Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 8" or bust. That's make this my second biggest storm this winter (I was in NYC for Jan 2-3, where they got 7.5" or so.) Probably won't happen but this has been a turbocharged winter since mid-January, so why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got 4.25" in multiple places! 1.25" on the roads. tl;dr.. 4.25" and awesomeness! That's dedication! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Measured all my favorite spots. Almost a uniform 5.5". And still dumping. Holy crap. Def 10+:1 ratios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The band to the SE of Tysons looks just like where the previous band to hit Tysons originally setup an hour ago (that band is now hitting extreme NOVA and Great Falls, MD). I can hope!

Does that mean they made the decision, or does it just default to that once the clock strikes midnight? Not sure. But to be honest, I would not be surprised with either a 2-hour delay or optional telework/unscheduled leave policy. I don't expect a closure, but you never know.

EastCoast NPZ Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 12:30 obs: 7.4" 1.4" in the past hour. I continue to be amazed tonight. Super heavy snow moved on, but still snowing nicely. This must really be some good ratio snow to be piling up this quickly. This has already easily surpassed every storm of the year except for 2/13. Just blew away any expectations I had for tonight.

dailylurker Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 4.5 and snowing beautify (moderate). This storm is becoming one of my favorite storms of the season. I'm thinking 6-8" is a solid call. Someone in the metro will probably slant stick 10". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WEATHER53 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I stayed up for big one until 5a and saw a lot of very heavy snow from 1am on but don't think it was quite as heavy as what I just got in 15 & 30 minutes. It was foggier in prior event but there were a lot of nickle+ sized flakes in what recently went thru. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PWC Split Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Just finished my first shovel and there was a uniform 5.5 inches. Snow rates just picked back up in last 5 minutes. 8 inches not an unreasonable expectation here in Haymarket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherCCB Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 That last band was the real sh.t . Just measured 3 spots. 6.4, 6.6, 6.8. I'm calling it 6.5" Still snow steady. I'm thinking 8" is very realistic. Will put me at 50" for the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am starting to doubt a closure now due to there being much less snow on the streets than other surfaces, and maybe the earlier ending time. Seems most could be over before the commute?
