Grothar of Herndon Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 An amazing storm and congrats to everyone. Glad the bands finally filled in and many saw whiteout condition late this afternoon. I am calling it 28" here at the house. Will do final snow clearing tomorrow before the games and sounds like it will Monday before plows will be in the neighborhoods. Our road is totally drifted over.

PrinceFrederickWx Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Mostly cloudy, 29, windy. Full moon is visible through thin clouds that are moving away fast. What an epic Jebwalk this has been! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dailylurker Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 BWI seems high, 9 mi SE at home, all snow, is 19" , similar nearby.I agree. I'm only 15 miles south. I've got what looks like 21". I'm going for an official (for me) measurement when it's over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthArlington101 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Don't think this last 2 hours will do much, but I cleared my measuring spot anyways. Going with 26" as the final number, but it could obviously be two more or two less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTRWx Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I am very much surprised that CWG has never set up a measuring station at 24th and M when a large storm is looming. Might not be a bad idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukeblue219 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Nearly a 20" gradient across Montgomery County. Jeez. That band just paralleled route 29 for hours. Even when the radar looked solid across the county the reports from Germantown and Rockville seemed (qualitatively) much snowier than those from Silver Spring, Wheaton, and White Oak.

umdterps29 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 BWI seems high, 9 mi SE at home, all snow, is 19" , similar nearby. I'm in Davidsonville and I have 23" measured in multiple locations around my neighborhood. Perhaps it's due to being further from the bay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

das Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I see 17-27 across moco. There are multiple measurement in northern MoCo over 30". I was at 30.5" at 5pm. I'll measure after this next band finishes. Trained spotter here in Clarksburg submitted 34.3" at 6:26pm too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wesleyhtswx Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I disagree. I think 2/5-6/10 pretty clearly beat this storm in most of the city proper. 2/5-6/10 had a lot of 24"+ reports from inside the city with the Tenleytown area reporting 27"+. Sure, but I didn't say, or mean to suggest this storm beat 2010. I said DC has beaten 1899 but probably not Knickerbocker. In an earlier post, I mentioned that the 24th and M location, e.g., would like have had several storms surpassing the 1899 "official" #2 since the transfer to DCA in 1950, including 2010, 2003, 96, 83, and 79. All moot anyway, and in good fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Kudos to CWG and others who care enough about science and history and have been trying for awhile to intelligently challenge the temperature and snowfall record keeping practices at DCA. My yardstick is registering +/- 30" here in Wesley Hts. Factoring a combination of my poor measuring skills, a few miles, and a few hundred feet of elevation, I would bet down on 24th and M they've got ~2 feet. So, I think it is fair to say DC has topped #2 1899 and rivaled, but not surpassed, Knickerbocker with this one. And in all likelihood, DCA has/or should have recorded it's highest single storm total since the transfer in 1950. I'd be surprised. That's what Vienna is reporting and they were in a better spot most of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebman Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Just came in. Since then .4 fell that I could justify (it snowed a lot harder for just .04, but Im tired) so, yes 27. that seems to be a good number. A spotter in Dale City had 25.3 at 6:30. Leesburg in Nokesville has about 30. So it's right there in the ballpark. 27 it is. This is the most snow that has ever fallen in a single storm in Dale City that I know of. I am gonna dig TONS of snow!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 There are multiple measurement in northern MoCo over 30". I was at 30.5" at 5pm. I'll measure after this next band finishes. Trained spotter here in Clarksburg submitted 34.5" at 8:45pm too. NE Rockville got really lucky riding the edge of the band during the lull to the east. It made the difference. Gberg/Gtown/Cberg rocked it during that time. I was nervous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AppsRunner Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 From what I had watched earlier through today, BWI itself was routinely under much heavier returns and never truly stopped snowing, compared to areas especially to the southeast of the airport where dryslotting was much more prevalent. I wouldn't doubt the totals BWI saw, especially when they had 2"/hr rates and literally 0 visibility at times today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redskinsnut Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 27 it is. This is the most snow that has ever fallen in a single storm in Dale City that I know of. I am gonna dig TONS of snow!! I grew up in Dale City. I was 8 years old for PD1. We got 27 inches for that. So we'll call it a draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesleyhtswx Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I'd be surprised. That's what Vienna is reporting and they were in a better spot most of the day. I thought I saw a 23 from Ian in 20008 awhile ago, 24 in Chevy Chase 21 on the east side by Catholic. DuPont had 19 at 2pm this afternoon according to Channel 4, so I think 2 feet a quite plausible estimate for the former West End/Georgetown location.

What is your total so far? Going with 30 on the nose. I did a crappy job. I openly admit it. Tough storm to measure because of duration and wind. However, coops and board member WeatherCCB definitely support that #. The non-technical measurement would be sh*tpile either way. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numbers will be low because of that. I was too busy enjoying the storm. I'll take my final after that last band that's moving thru Hagerstown comes thru.
