NorthArlington101 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Wind compromised my spot but I guesstimated 6" at 10. Glad to know that you agree. I live on a hill, so I'm measuring like ten spots with a mix or grass and pavement and taking the mode. I'll probably give up on taking measurements soon.

WVsnowlover Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 [quote name="EastCoast Just looked outside and I can't even tell if it is snowing at all. 2 hours now with next to nothing. Definitely not worth the effort to fight that wind and try to find a reliable spot to measure. Glad to hear that at least it's performing well farther east. That looks to be the favored area for this one. Patience it's coming.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhineasC Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 00Z RGEM is even more hilarious than the NAM. Has another 3 inches of precip for the DC/BWI area since 00Z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clskinsfan Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I thought about that, but doesn't that area usually show up from lwx? What would make this scenario different? It does it with every storm. We definitely had some dry air in earlier. But the radar out here is always screwed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nj2va Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 RGEM total QPF from 7pm tonight to end of storm. Crushes the area especially the NoVA-Balt corridor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chase Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I thought about that, but doesn't that area usually show up from lwx? What would make this scenario different?I used to live out there. Bull Run Mountain and all the precipitation in between causes a shadow over Luray and Harrisonburg during snow events.Always the case and always causes panic. I would say there IS a break around Culpeper, though. That area isn't impacted by the shadow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeatherNC Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Rates have kind of backed off over the past hour or two but still MC performing on the front porch with vis. less than 1000'. Solid 7" on the back rails with the winds picking up, doubt we will hit 12" by midnight but with 40+ dbz returns imminent, there's a chance.
