andyhb Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 So 0.1" at DCA? That will beat Snowmageddon at least. Them verifying blizzard conditions is a hefty bit of consolation I would think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needbiggerboat Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 The story of what had to be done to get the temperature recalibration is intricate and incredible When people become entrenched in their position their defiance is strong and their inability to adapt and adopt to just plain common sense procedures is hard to understand. maybe they just didn't like you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GirlForAllSeasons Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 This was BWI at 1:00 PM BWI AIRPORT 19.8 100 PM 1/23 AIRPORT It had to have obliterated that given that it literally just started snowing hard again there at 1:00 PM. Those Bands produced another 8-10 inches of snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Frankly the Euro sucked with this storm. It was jumpy and did its usual crap with cutting precip right before the storm. Not that it will apply again for a long time but one thing the gfs taught me was that when a model shows and insane solution over and over and over again...it may actually be atmospherically and meteorlogicly possible.

Mercurial Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Looks like this storm will break the top 10 at BWI. Assuming this will happen; 4 of the top 11 snowstorms at BWI have occurred within the past 6 winters since 09/10. 6 of the top 11 have occurred within the past 20 years. edit: #snowtown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCWeatherGuy Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 There's something very strange going on there...NWS needs to investigate Tried to explain this to our friend from upstate NY who was posting in here today who was guaranteeing 20" at DCA. That guy clearly knows his stuff (he bullseyed the heavy bands coming through DC all afternoon), but being an expert met with every piece of high tech radar info simply does not allow you guess DCA snow totals. You have to apply the 25% rule. DCA is a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arlingtonforest Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I'm just thinking about it and I can't fathom how DCA only got 2.8" from 1-7 I'm about three miles west of DCA, and and I got about 3.5" from 2 to 7; I didn't measure 20 anywhere IMBY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Mike Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 This has been a day I'll remember. The 2016 Blizzard has majestically risen to the top of my favorite DC area snow events, replacing Snowmageddon. I don't know about you, but I am exhausted and just about ready for bed.

CAPE Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Nice storm here, but not even close to a top 10. The front end thump was awesome. 13.5" by 9 am this morning. But even though it lightly snowed all day, it was wimpy, basically was dry slotted or in a subsidence zone from the big slow moving deform band to my NW. Getting a nice burst now, and will end up at 15" or a bit more. Thats plenty of snow (and work), so although its defo cool to get a historic event, this was still very satisfying and also somewhat manageable. My sister sent me some pictures from Reisterstown...lol no thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
