Herb@MAWS Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Temp remaining steady at 34.2 over past 2 hrs but S-ly flow has changed precip to very light snizzle/rain/sleet ... sometimes plain rain. Calling it at 2.1" for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Snow/sleet/rain mix by the White House. I had 1" of snow in N. Bethesda this earlier, which is just enough to get me to 30" for the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinjaWarrior2 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Somehow this was better than 3/6/13 for Southern MD, DC, Central Maryland east of the fall line, Upper Eastern Shore of MD, and Eastern Baltimore County + all of Harford and Cecil. Short range models didn't do bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inverted_Trough Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Question for the more knowledgeable in the room: So at 3:30 am, it was in the mid-40s with rain beginning across the area, and the wet bulb temp was around 38. A couple hours later, the temperatures dropped to between 33-35, with wet snow falling. We've had either calm winds or light southeasterly winds the whole time, so where did this cold air source come from? Did it mix down vertically from the upper levels? I know there is cold air in New England but I don't see how it could bleed into this area on southeasterly winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nw baltimore wx Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 The diving board. Seems like a perfect spot most of the time. You country folk are so posh. 2.3". Looks like that will be the final total, it has lightened and it will probably not add any to the totals with the melting going on. Not bad! Thanks for the update. I'll check around for other totals near me before calling it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePhotoGuy Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Big Flakes again. For the past 2.5 hours been a mixture of rain/sleet/snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skywalker03 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Ping ping. Sleet and snow making a reappearance. This has to be the end, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebman Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Decided to sleep it out lol. I think we might have had a half inch on car tops. Not bad for March 20. We get to enjoy highs today only in the 30s. I wish we had a nice refreshing north breeze to go with it. Congrats to those who got several inches of snow. The pics are excellent!

CAPE Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Question for the more knowledgeable in the room: So at 3:30 am, it was in the mid-40s with rain beginning across the area, and the wet bulb temp was around 38.

I know there is cold air in New England but I don't see how it could bleed into this area on southeasterly winds. The High was not in an ideal position, but the air was pretty dry. Probably mostly evap cooling. Dynamic cooling is a bit misunderstood, its not simply cold air aloft coming down to the surface with the heavy precip. One of the processes involved there is the snow melting as it falls into "warmer air", thus removing heat. In this case I think it was more evap cooling with the low dew points. Dynamic cooling gets talked up a lot, but evap cooling is more efficient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cae Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Picked up a little more, so up to about 2.7" here. Light snow / white rain with small flakes now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T. August Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 To my surprise, I actually picked up .5" on the previously cleared railing. Certain areas of the driveway have .25". Total so far 1.7" and still snowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I-83 BLIZZARD Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 2.5 here. Sun has done its job. Snowed all day and never adding up to anything. Blacktop is just wet but sidewalk did get coverd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty healthy. when DCA was 46 at 1am, the writing was on the wall down here..I got a slushy 0.1"...was fun seeing flakes fly....starting out cold on 3/25 last year and getting some heavy in the morning made a big difference,.,.
