dailylurker Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I've picked up nearly 2" in 75 minutes and dumping powder. 5 on the ground. Total of 7" in the backyard. Had 2" left from the February blitz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nw baltimore wx Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 You are both warmer than me. I'm at 24, and a nearby weather station is reporting 25. Yeah, I said later that my station may be a degree high. I'm at 27 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MillvilleWx Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 picked up 0.8" in 35 minutes, so still a nice pace... Awesome Matt. Glad you're cashing in after all the work you put into this storm and the many before it! Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dallen7908 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 3 3/4 inches here after heaviest snow of the day (1" over the last hour). Certain to be first 4" event of winter. 28.9 degrees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psuhoffman Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Nice.....for a fringe job ;-)It was a lot of fringeEta: i was fringed compared to ky. I'm really pissed I'm only getting 12 when they got 20. :/- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterymix Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 The RAP keeps the 700 mb layer saturated until 02Z. So...the strong rates may taper off in about three hours but snow showers may continue into the very early evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormpc Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 3pm measurement. 4.5 on the ground (5 inches probably fell but what the hell). Moderate snow still. Would love to get to the 6 inch mark to match the storm 3 weeks ago. 26.4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deck Pic Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Back edge has slowed considerably and in fact snow has redeveloped in WV and KY. 4-5pm end calls will bust hugely, 6pm I don't think so either so let's see how the 6pm versus 10pm call works out. Also, look at the DCA hourlies, the instant that the baro hit 30.1 it started snowing. I agree with you that the small flakes with snow fog are underestimated as to the accumulation rate. Models aren't perfect...Using your local knowledge and forecasting experience is important, but to eschew them completely is unwise. The short term ones initialize every hour. Sure, there are changes, and they won't nail it, but you and I aren't going to have accumulating snow until 10-12, or even 10. For me and you will shut off around 6, maybe a little after, and then pixie dust, flurries...nonaccumulating stuff...I don't think your 10-12" will verify either nor did your 0 column by 8z. Though, we do hug models too much and to have you here is definitely an asset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midatlanticweather Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 At least its still dumping. I have gone back over to heavy snow. Last gasp I guess. I am in that heavy now! Heavy to the end! Sweet!

Random Chaos Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Just did another shoveling and measurement run. In non-drifted areas, I took three readings of 3.5" on gravel driveway. I measured four separate drifts to 11" (careful to not include previous snows; with those snows, some were deeper; nice crusty layer told me where to stop). I measured an 8" drift on the walk I just shoved less than two hours ago. There are large parts of my lawn and deck that have less than 1/4".

Jebman Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 3pm measurement. 4.5 on the ground (5 inches probably fell but what the hell). Moderate snow still. Would love to get to the 6 inch mark to match the storm 3 weeks ago. 26.4. I have 5. We'll hit 6, if these heavy bands keep on hitting us for a couple more hours we might even touch 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
