Deck Pic Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Latest RAP has the final decent bands rotating west to east from 5 - 6pm. The good stuff should be over around 6 for DC, a little later south and east. Maybe some --SN after 6pm for DC...hopefully it is delayed a bit...but enjoy the good stuff now...don't wait to get out in it...the best is probably over the next 2-3 hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swiscaster Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Just measured: 2.7" Not bad, but not great for 6 hours of steady snow. I'd take it if it did that again for the next 6 hours, but seems like the falling snow is barely beating out the melting. Just came back from sledding and it was definitely slushy next to the ground.

Demeter Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Had a really good 40 minutes of heavy sleet, changed 5 minutes ago to heavy snow. Streets are a mess instantly, including main roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 3.9" @ 1pm. Compaction has definitely stolen some of my totals. I think 8" is possible at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clskinsfan Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Just measured 8" . Currently 22 with moderate snow. My favorite storm so far this year. I agree. The first 2 hours of the Feb 22nd event were better. But this storm overall blows it away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormpc Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Can confirm 5 here in western PWC. 1:15 measurement, 5.2 inches That's awesome. I have a hair under 3. Piling up quickly now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nw baltimore wx Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 There should be a significant push of cold air into DC metro around 3-4pm, but it may coincide with the good firehose diminishing Significant increase in the winds here and temperature dropped a quick degree.

87storms Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 There should be a significant push of cold air into DC metro around 3-4pm, but it may coincide with the good firehose diminishing also, re swiscaster...steady snow for 6 hours would basically equal 2.7". so far, think the 4-8" calls were solid.

SomeguyfromTakomaPark Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 3 inches at 1:15, decent rates again. Hoping we can get to 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
