84 Hour NAM Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I wonder what the Knickerbocker would have measured if today's DCA crew had done it? 15 inches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dukeblue219 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 that Germantown band could be something I think there may be another good one coming out of Lancaster, PA too. The one through northern MoCo right now looks fierce but may well not be the last one. Just depends on how fast the system pulls eastward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deck Pic Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I wonder what the Knickerbocker would have measured if today's DCA crew had done it? I have some issues with them today..but I think at least so far they've done ok...We were in a severe lull for 6-7 hours...It made a huge difference...

RichmondTarHeel Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 34 inches. Puking snow here. Relentless. Area we shoveled at 1 pm already has 6 inches on it. Any idea why IAD is reporting such low numbers? I know I have over 30" IMBY here in Herndon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacindc Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 At 6:00 I measured another 1.5" in one hour, for a total of 22ish-inches, including three or so clearings. Though the trash can lid immediately adjacent that I haven't cleared at all has 19" of snow on top of it. And it's still rocking out there. Greatest storm ever. If not for that dang dry slot....

Expat Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Picked up an inch in the last hour (5:30pm to 6:30pm) bringing my totals to 27" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mappy Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Sent a report of 25". Honestly it's probably more but no way to know for sure. Basing it off my own measurements all over the driveway throughout the day and nearby spotters. Fantastic storm. Still snowing though lighter than it has been all day.

southmdwatcher Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Since I cleared the snowboard at 2pm it has 10 inches new snow, I had a storm total of 13.5 at 2pm. that means I am close to going over 24" total, it is so hard to measure accurately in this situation. This is a great storm for the whole region. Not sure what to do, I have measured in multiple spots. It is all wind driven at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is that they don't seem to be reporting they recovered like others nearby and they were in the heaviest bands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40/70 Benchmark Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Ditto. And I'll be the first to say that my previous (low) expectations for DCA have/are going out the window. What a storm...! Not often you forecast a jack of 3 feet, and bust significantly low, but I've pulled off that feat. Absolutely immense...never seen anything like. Its akin to a 400 mile wide lake band.

JonathanW Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 6:00 Update Mod Snow 25 degrees 38 inches total accum 4 inches in last 3 hours My neighborhood has transformed into something I have never seen before. It looks like a science station in Antarctica or something. There is the occasional neighbor out trying to shovel or use a snow blower. But overall, people just seem to be accepting the fact that they are not going anywhere for days. Cars are worthless. Just hunks of metal sitting in a stationary place for an indeterminate amount of time. The front of my house reminds me of the picture posted by a NY administrator in the banter thread the other day. The picture depicted a frozen wasteland and he was joking about us. This storm has reached new levels of incredible to me. The shear power of mother nature is both humbling and awe inspiring. I have a ton of work to do tomorrow starting to dig out and get my life back to some semblance of normalcy. In the mean time, tonight, I will just sit by the fireplace and tip my glass of scotch to the Great Blizzard of 2016. She has certainly earned her name.

das Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Seems the reports here in DC, Alexandria, and Arlington are all in the 21-24 inch range. DCA should be over 20. Moco numbers are going to be obnoxious. They are indeed. I was at 30.5" at 5pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonathanW Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I think there may be another good one coming out of Lancaster, PA too. The one through northern MoCo right now looks fierce but may well not be the last one. Just depends on how fast the system pulls eastward. Agree. It looks like there's still some decent moisture/bands coming down from PA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inverted_Trough Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Didn't BWI experience a significant lull? Yet they have 26"+. We should come up with a new snow ratio metric: the DCA to liquid ratio. 7 inches of snow = 1 inch liquid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
