Ian Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Yup - mentioned it earlier. It's incredibly bright, even under those really good returns. My street is totally covered, and even the secondary roads out here are snow/slush. I think there's some SAS effect, but it's still piling up OK. The snow is really dense, though. Definitely not a huge factor but yay sun angle season. I like clumpy snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windman18 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Radar looks to be building to the southwest. Hoping I can get into some heavier rates with big flakes, so far mainly small flakes although they have been accumulating very quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeathergeekMD Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Have to keep shoveling the deck and steps periodically for our old 3 legged dog.... unbelievable rates. There's a slush layer under the snow in many places. So hard freeze next, then thaw... mud on the mutts, yea. At 4" now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbook Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 3.25" in Fairfax County between Oakton and Reston. Good rates continue. Roads are snow-covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaltimoreWxGuy Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I think some of you are failing to realize that while yes, the plume of moisture is moving ENE to NE, but the backedge is actually coming from the northwest because of the cold front sagging south..SO our back edge of decent snow is basically from Harrisburg to just west of Martinsburg and dropping southeast....this aint a Nor'easter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Why do you say this? Back edge appears to be making good progress, I'm thinking we hold on to light stuff til maybe 6.
