Prestige Worldwide Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 6.5 inches total for the event in Lewes at my house. An incredible 35 inches for the season, with 19.25" coming in March. Seasonal average is 12-13 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Granted I wasn't at home during most of the snow yesterday, but all the spotters around Columbia have over 3" so I'll trust them. Definitely had about 0.4" after 6pm yesterday. So, I'll go with 3.2" which pushes me over 60" on the season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I went with 2.8", and then the other local cocorahs observers were very close, so I'm confident in that number. 0.34" precip in the gauge, which works out to about 8:1, which frankly is better than I thought it would be.

Eskimo Joe Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 A couple of streamers making it over the mountains and into western portions of the DMV this morning. mPING shows some of it reaching the ground in western MoCo...even a few reports of a quick coating on the roads.

I saw a report of 1.5" but that was at like 10 pm. I would think they ended up with about 3. The heavier bands were to the NW over DE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I posted this yesterday morning in the storm disco thread. For those who like cool and useful weather tools, bookmark this one. Experimental from FSU and based off the NAM, it was excellent all winter at pinpointing banding in the short range. http://moe.met.fsu.edu/banding/t18z/frontb.html Here is the forecasted frontogensis off yesterdays 18z run. Best forcing as shown here(+5 hr) is where the super-band set up that gave central/southern DE 5-7 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huffwx Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I went with 2.8", and then the other local cocorahs observers were very close, so I'm confident in that number. 0.34" precip in the gauge, which works out to about 8:1, which frankly is better than I thought it would be. We had 6 inches here from .52 at the airport, (I'm under 2 miles away, so I'd assume the same) It was powdery snow and HARD to make a snowman and snow balls. We did, but it was very challenging. I hit 6 inches and we had another .05 liquid fall that didn't add ot my depth and at that point the snowballs came easier as we hit 34-- it was super cold aloft, so I was impressed for March 25. Close to 12-1 ratios, if not slightly better till the very end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchnick Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I would like to mention that the Euro was all over the place with this storm and, imho, performed horribly. Even on yesterday's 12Z run it spit out twice the qpf that actually fell at BWI. It did better in DC and further south I admit. As bad as it was at BWI, however, it was worse in ENE, giving Boston several inches (3-6") for days thru yesterday's 12Z run. It yanked those forecasts and 12Z today gave Boston .09" and all they ended up with was one hourly report of light snow with 6 miles visibility! Also, it's ACK qpf thru yesterday was double what it spit at today at 12Z too. All in all, if you consider the days of forecasts leading up to the event, it seems to have gotten lucky with a few locations but was generally pretty bad in most of the major I95 cities.

WEATHER53 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 32.5* here, full sunshine equivalent to mid September. Just incredible. Even the radiant sun effect is greatly muted and with the winds max radiant so far is 36*. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WEATHER53 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Including today it will be 8 days in March that DCA has been -13 or colder and 8 days that IAD -15 or colder. Likely, not definite, this finishes coldest since 1970 and certainly since 1996. Now I know the AGW crowd will decry how this winter has effected eastern 2/3 of USA and Canada but if the Vortex does not elect to retun to it's typical position then at least part of the summer may also be quite unusual. I personally think that while the AGW have been focused on warmth that they failed to acknowledge the changes that began after 97/98 and especially since 2009. I guess it will take some more time to start focusing on the last 15 years rather than Al Gore charts with lines going up to the ceiling of the audiotorium.

WEATHER53 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 28.5 currently and even with the cold temps and strong winds my max radiant peaked at 48* and that did a number on the snow that was exposed to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
