NorthArlington101 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Shouldn't have questioned the deathband... Flakes are small, but it's hard to see three houses down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigjohndc Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 The streets and especially the sidewalks are finally giving in here. So slowly but surely these yellows are doing the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deck Pic Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Does anyone else think this could be immediate D.C.'s best storm of the season? DC got 8-12" on 2/13, so no.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlet Pimpernel Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 3" and counting. Dryslot filling and bands lining up. Irish luck. Maybe the snowflakes turn green at midnight Fantastic!! Yeah, green flakes for St. Pat's! How about some dark greens (and yellows) on the radar? Just went out for a walk and to take photos, yardstick in hand. Measured several places, 4" on the grass now with pavement areas getting covered. (Chevy Chase, MD) This is so far turning out to be a great "last call" for the winter!

MN Transplant Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 That next band south is setting up right where the RR had it. Have to see if that becomes the focus over the next couple of hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebman Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 maybe I'm getting older than I thought, but I honestly can't remember a time when I wasn't following snow threats This is when you KNOW it has been a decent winter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 DC got 8-12" on 2/13, so no.... Think you pull 6" out of the hat? I'm thinking I'm locked for 6 at this point. For whatever reason, the entire storm is evolving in perfect fashion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTRWx Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 DC got 8-12" on 2/13, so no.... dca only had around 6" max that day, but this one still probably doesn't top it, just an outside chance, imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlet Pimpernel Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Here is what I just posted on facebook- Hey. As if you couldn't already tell, I am going bust low on snow for DC. I didn't expect us to accumulate so well so early. Given that most of DC is approaching or has exceeded 2", and we are 28-29 degrees, I think we should wake up to 4-6"+. Short range modeling is now suggesting snow tapers by 7-8am. We may get some snow to redevelop during the day, but looks like the main event is happening now. The big wildcard is roads. I think side streets in particular will get snow covered, but even with temps below freezing and overcast skies, strong March sun should do do some damage during the day tomorrow to whatever sticks to streets and sidewalks. Nice post. It would be cool if the "good stuff" continues through ~12Z, as short range modeling indicates from what you say. I'm certain that you are quite glad to bust low!

StudentOfClimatology Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 DC got 8-12" on 2/13, so no.... Yeah, no way we're topping that. I got 14.5", so it was more than 8-12: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Last March was probably the snowiest month for most around here. Of course, that's not saying much! But the cold nature of this snow is what's so shocking to me. The whole thing is evolving in about as good a fashion as one could expect for accumulating snow in these parts in the dead middle of March. 65+ and sunny yesterday...grilling and beers outside. And cold, ripping snow tonight. Crazy stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlet Pimpernel Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 dca only had around 6" max that day, but this one still probably doesn't top it, just an outside chance, imo I think DCA got 7.0" on the nose from Feb. 12-13, but many other areas got closer to a foot or more in the metro area. So not expecting that storm to get topped. Regardless, this could be the 2nd best storm of the year if things work out right. Where I'm at, the Jan. 21 storm is currently #2.

weatherbook Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 4" near Oakton, Va. It snowed an inch in 50 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WEATHER53 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 11pm obs:3.5", 28.5* Think temp has bottomed or maybe another degree drop. Rate is moderate but flake size small, just 0.5" in last hour. Real indicator to me today that this would work as considerable snow was temperature dropping 6 degrees between 2:30-4:30. Be interesting to see what effect strong sun will have on my radiant measuring device tomorrow during afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormtracker Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Pro wont happen... prob will get unscheduled leave... main highways would need to go for closing IMO Really? Because I'm watching the news now and major routes like 123 and lanes on 270 are snow covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SabreAce33 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 lower southern MD and south Del getting rocked by a solid yellow blob. Hope they get clocked with a foot of fresh snow Thanks for the wishes. Unfortunately, I can still see pavement in spots and Wakefield just cut my totals to 1-3 with rain at times overnight (?!). I was worried about the dry slot, but warm air aloft might just do us in here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StudentOfClimatology Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Lol, I got 8 in that one. It is amazing that we have been below freezing for hours and the roads are barely covered. Where are you at? If you're in DC, that's an incredible contrast. Yeah my street is still just wet . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
