NorthArlington101 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I can up my total to .6 after 2 hours of fairly nice snow. Maybe without the lull in precip I could have measured more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVclimo Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Sounds like just to my NW was a different world. Berkeley Springs can't be 20 air miles from me and WVClimo posted they had a foot. Hard to imagine...and at a lower elevation.Those were reports from the LWX Public Information Statement. Seems kinda stunning. Everything had to have come together perfectly there. The 19" Paw Paw report is even more amazing, considering the liquid the storm put down.I kinda got shafted compared to your totals, but hard to complain about an all-day snow event in November.

MN Transplant Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Nice. You're going to beat me. ~0.4 from the band. Tapered to flurries now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gymengineer Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Drove up to sugarloaf area from Bethesda. It got more scenic as I got to germantown on 270...more stickage on trees and the sides of the road etc. Was hoping for a little more from the ull but oh well. Yeah, I was noticing the gradient in this storm wasn't as sharp as in some past ones. That's a pretty gradual gradient from T at DCA to ~1/4" in DC proper to roughly 0.5" here (North Bethesda) to 1+" in Gaithersburg to 1.7" in Clarksburg. We'll see what Damascus ends up with, but I doubt it goes well over 2". And going the other direction, it's from T at DCA to 0.3"-0.5" in Arlington to ~0.9" in Falls Church to 1-2" at IAD, to ~2" in Leesburg. It looks like the lower elevations went as expected, but the mid-tier of higher elevations under-performed by an inch or so compared to expectations.

I kinda got shafted compared to your totals, but hard to complain about an all-day snow event in November. I've seen valleys do better in these types of snows before. I guess a bit of cold air filters in and gets stuck. I measured 3.5" earlier and it melted to 1/2" of water....lot of water for a little snow. I'm sure it was due to melting and compaction.

needbiggerboat Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Perfect event. Mod to heavy snow most of the day to look at, but no shoveling required. Might catch a bit from the next band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mappy Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Fozz you must be slant sticking, you have to stop that or Mappy will punish you. Fozz is measuring in Parkton, so his total is spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthArlington101 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Whats your total so far? 0.6". Radar suggests one last band may be enough to add something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravensrule Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Fozz is measuring in Parkton, so his total is spot on. Lol, it may be time to go out and re measure. I think you are only at 1.7". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebman Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 One half inch of snow in Dale City on lawns, car tops, house tops, bushes. The snow first started sticking on the backs of fallen leaves. I'm impressed. This is the day before Thanksgiving and I expected plain rain throughout the storm. I remember in 1989 we got 3 inches of snow for Thanksgiving, then 6 inches on December 7 and 7 inches on December 13. Then the weather turned craptastic in late December and January 1990 was rotten to the core. Wow, 19 inches of snow in Paw Paw! I just might have to go up there and show those folks how to dig snow.

Ian Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 Absolutely! I don't think I've been in the true mega band since 2000, i got heavy snow in 2009 and 2010 but......We do tail end bands well in the city it seems. Maybe notthinf crazy but some brief good stuff. This one was meh. Melting snow prob enchanted radar look. Check out the Doppler estimates lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scraff Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I'm going with an awesome heavy snow (at times) car topper for my day. Some grass coverage too, but pretty weak mostly. The way I see it....great practice for whats yet to come over the next 4 months. Nice job on analysis and obs to the people who know who they are. Cheers!
