dbsisson Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 It looks like the co-op observer in Haywood, in Madison County wins the chicken dinner with the highest snowfall total of 13.7 inches. I live about 3 miles from there and measured 9.5. Elevation is roughly the same. Maybe he just really likes chicken, or maybe he should take a penalty for embellishment.

WinterWxLuvr Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 A word of caution... I just spent two hours shoveling out, and when I came back into my Arlington VA house, my inner temp was under 97F. PLEASE don't do the same!! ERs, get ready to receive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Random Chaos Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Awesome! Where are you? I never really got any heavy wind. I am about a mile from the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, not too far from Sandy Point, with a strong NE exposure. Winds were steady 10-15mph on my anemometer throughout the storm (though I do not trust that the anemometer is accurate over about 10mph - it tends to plateau).

MN Transplant Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Yeah, big fat flakes. Was debating whether to record an additional 0.1" to get me to 9.0", but this is going to make it academic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighStakes Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Really getting a nice burst right now but it's not having any success fighting the sun poking through the clouds. It is trying to get darker and visibilities are dropping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

09-10 analogy Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 8.5" on my table on the back deck. (My street however is just about clear.) Great storm. Second or third biggest March snow that I can remember. Superstorm was #1, I don't remember exactly what I got in March 1999, I know accumulations around DC were 8-11" or so, but I was in Takoma Park and the heaviest I believe was just to my south. So this might be #2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Not the biggest March storm for me but the crisp cold air while shoveling felt amazing for March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Persistent moderate snow band over here for a couple hours now and still going. Even with some settling, have picked up another half inch so far. Now 7.5". Might make it to 8 which would get me over 40 for the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherCCB Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Moderate snow now. Might pick up 1/2" or so with this last band. Wind blowing. Nice winters day in Mid March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StudentOfClimatology Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Anyone else notice how behind-schedule the plants are? Even with the recent warmth, no signs of life. Not many buds, even on the cherry blossoms.. I wonder if it has something to due with the midwinter cold snaps freezing up the ground & the root systems?

WxMan1 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 8.5" final total here in Crofton. 40.5" for the season. That would be a good winter :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I might have spoke too soon. Snow picked up nicely. Might get the 1/2 for double digits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about you guys down in DC any buds on the Cherry trees yet? I have a big cherry blossom in my front yard..not much, if any progress. This time back in 2012, my cherry blossom was past peak, and leaves were coming out everywhere. Crazy swings in climate lately. It feels like we're on the cusp of a major climate swing of some sort..my great grandmother says it feels like the early 1960s. The AMO flipped shortly after, and DC became a snow town again.

caviman2201 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Measured 8.5 on the cars this morning in Glen Burnie... 4.5 on the driveway. Huge diff between what I shoveled and what I brushed off the cars. Amazing storm for mid-March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
