das Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 6.4 is my midnight #. Took about a dozen measurements. Rimed styrofoam layer on top but dendrites are coming back in force. Short range models are killing it today. Everything is right on schedule Took mine right at midnight. 7.1" so far. 19.2F / 19F. Winds E11G20.

motsco Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I'm like 5 miles south of you and it's a snow globe how's the wind over there? I'm not trying to bs anyone. sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeatherNC Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Jeb walk down to the barn was a win, 8-12" depending on where you measure, 9" sticks seem to be the going point, think we will hit 24, but south and west/east of the 30" totals. Wind has picked up markedly in the past hour. That slug coming up the Chesapeake is real, DC be advised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subtropics Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I was telling Matt and Ian that how are we supposed to feel about a rando 4 to 8 incher now? You know the new normal around here... Go years without a storm and then finally get one and it sets records. If they keep being this large, I can wait every few years for a return period.

09-10 analogy Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Back from casing the neighborhood. Half the time what I'd call heavy snow, half the time moderate. No sleet. Just unreal out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 how's the wind over there? I'm not trying to bs anyone. sorry. I live in a stream valley so sheltered mostly. When I walked to the top of the hill around 10 it was gusting in the 20's but not crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

das Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Very heavy bands for Loudoun to DC in 30 min. Near whiteout. I was hoping to get some sleep but I'm going to have to stay up for that to come thru northern MoCo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87storms Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 was just out for a little drive. i can confirm it's still snow in bethesda. yes, there's some of the bouncy/rimed flakes mixed in, but i don't think that's sleet. that said, certainly is a battle zone going on nearby so will see what happens. 7" here, but that was about 30 mins ago.

ORH_wxman Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 You can see the sleet line on dual pol pretty easily here...not really moving much...I wouldn't expect it to make that much more progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yuki neko Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Seems like there are pockets of sleet/graupel ahead of the line I was just out shoveling... rippping dendrites turned over to graupel for 10 min. They actually looked and felt like star sprinkles. Then dendrites started mixing back in again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdevil02 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 On man. That death band looks unreal. Praying it's all snow. Just hit 9 inches here in Del Ray. Haven't had many big flakes, but it's consistently piled up all night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astarck Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Not sure how much is due to blowing and drifting but her in south Arlington just measured 5.8" for the last six hours with a storm total of 9.1". Numerous measurements around my yard were in the 8-8.5" range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terpsnation Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 That band is getting real close to DC, also appears the sleet line is creeping up. I'm really curious to see what happens when that hits DC. Sleet is actually holding nicely to our south. To figure this out use these two links: http://weather.cod.edu/satrad/nexrad/index.php?type=LWX-N0Q-1-24 http://weather.cod.edu/satrad/nexrad/index.php?type=LWX-N0C-1-24 The second link, all of the bright yellow returns show exactly where the sleet is. Open both of those links in two separate tabs and align the border of MD and PA at the very top of your browser. If you switch back and forth between the two tabs, you can see that the heavy returns from the first link are continuing to progress towards the city, while the yellow returns (sleet) in the second tab is getting held to the south around Ft Washington.

caviman2201 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 RAP has forecasted this incoming deathband the just several runs... The question is can we keep it all snow. For the record, it predicted it would be 2-2.5"/hr snow. Given how juicy it looks on radar, that would indicate at least some mixing... but who knows? Maybe it's a 2013 CT style uber-deathband Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
