Bob Chill Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Better to clear and measure then? I think the rules are 6 hours so I might but I'm not sure it's going to compact much more. It's pretty dense stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

umdterps29 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 We are up to maybe 1/2" now outside of Annapolis and the rates are just now picking up, but it looks like a lull may slide up from the south. Do we think it is possible to get into that 8-10" territory that LWX just updated us to? Seems like a reach to me. I'd be happy with 4 or 5 inches at this point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amped Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Glad I didn't wait up for the changeover, didn't hit 32f until 6:30am. Got about 4" now, but none of it is stuck due to warm ground and the March sun angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhineasC Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Based on obs here I guess there is a screw zone south of a DCA/BWI line. Totally different storm here. Blasting snow and sticking just fine for the middle of the day in March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
