weatherCCB Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 4:30 obs - 25/23 snow has slacked up quite a bit. Still light & steady though. Measured 3 spots on hard surfaces 9.3" 9" 9.7" I'm calling it 9.5" radar looks like it is breaking up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Looks like the euro had a decent handle on that area of banding. So much for any possibility of some of it breaking up there although it looks like it fractured a bit and DC lucked out. Nice for once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshfsu123 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Looks like the snow shield should move out in the next 2 hours or so... but there are snow showers in southern West Virginia moving ENE/NE and those, if it holds together, should move through the DC area later this morning into early afternoon, according to the radar.
