MacintoshPro Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Green band setting up shop directly over DC - they should be getting good rates I'm getting it pretty good in N. Arlington. Good rates, flake size still meh, but quickly accumulating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2O Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Sitting between 1.75 and 2" depending on my measuring spots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astarck Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 LWX updated and increased snow amounts in some of their ZPFs That 8-10 is getting close to DC. And some 10-14's showing up just south of Fredericksburg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nj2va Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 That's what the HRRRRRRR is showing around 11-12 big giant hole The HRRR has been terrible with this event; I wouldn't even bother looking at it. The RAP consistently getting drier for DC since 21z is a bit annoying though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PWC Split Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Bigger flakes finally starting to mix in. 2.8 inches is my official measurement in Haymarket at 7:45. Probably best rates yet. Going to go with a three finger pour of bourbon to increase my enjoyment of this event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 The latest few RAP runs have been showing a dry slot over Western VA and nearing DC, but more toward 11-12 or so....they aren't exactly confidence inspiring runs...21z run had 0.30" for DCA from 8pm until the end, but 22z and 23z don't look as good They are worst-case scenarios. The low doesn't throw the precip back north and west enough. Hope the RR/HRRR combo are just being to sharp on the NW side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoast NPZ Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Nope. Click on the radar. It's filled, some with heavy bands. There's no hole in WV. Just EastCoastNPZ being himself. I hope your radar is better than the one I'm looking at..... http://weather.weatherbug.com/VA/Stephens%20City-weather/weather-maps/interactive-map.html?zcode=z6286 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wawarriors4 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 That 8-10 is getting close to DC. And some 10-14's showing up just south of Fredericksburg. Yoda, we are ripping down here in Spotsy, just South of Fredericksburg.......up to 3.4" interested to see how long we can keep these rates...

jr2 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Reports from Bel Air from family that it's not snowing there yet. How is it not snowing there yet? Just started. Very fine flakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacintoshPro Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Getting banded right now. Good rates, flake size marginally increased, and my last measurement was 1.25" but probably higher than that now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usedtobe Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 This is how the 18z GFS and NAM have this playing out for DCA...Obviously this is just a general guide...things are going to unfold how they unfold. Through 7pm - NAM: 0.05", GFS: 0.09", Actual: 0.08" (DCA is often too low) 7pm - 10pm - NAM: 0.13", GFS: 0.10" 10pm - 1am- NAM: 0.15", GFS: 0.11" 1am - 4am - NAM: 0.14", GFS: 0.14" 4am - 7am - NAM: 0.07", GFS: 0.04" I'm a little discouraged seeing bands setting up north and south of me. Seems like this year, I can't catch a break no matter how a storm evolves. Maybe the green will eventaully fill in over me but each time it gets close it fizzles.

nj2va Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 That 8-10 is getting close to DC. And some 10-14's showing up just south of Fredericksburg. 8-10 crept into SE DC, Alexandria, and the extreme SE tip of Arlington with this update. Hope they aren't jinxing us.

Wes, I think you are going to do quite well once things take on a more sw-ne orientation. Better than my yard I'm pretty sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebman Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 This is the kind of setup in which the farther south and east you are in VA/south MD and Del, the better off you will be tonight, those places are gonna get shellacked but good.

Schools closing makes it easier to breathe, but you're right about watching the evolution being fun. I just hope it works out for everyone.

Don Cherry's Jacket Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Show totals of about .8 inch suggests a hole localized over my house, but 13/11 holds promise for later. Can't believe the temperature crash with this storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
