JonathanW Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I believe that is the case. There were some crazy runs with 2 feet by 12Z, but most guidance I think pegged the area at ~12-20" by ghis time. Now we'll see what happens the rest of the day and this evening. I think the pace is behind the blockbuster 1/22 GFS runs. But looking back at some of the IWM maps, the older GFS runs were pretty much in line with what we see right now. We could still catch up, of course If the HRRR is correct, we'll end up with final tallies pretty close to the 1/22 GFS runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 13z is rolling out now. Through 3pm, another 7-8" so far for DC. Let's hope the HRRRRRRRRR isn't on crack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vance1167 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Maybe DCA isnt a snowhole anymore? Seems like their measurements have gotten more respectable over the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herb@MAWS Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Shoveled from 8-9am. Didn't try to get to my usual measuring spot but came up with approx 15.5-16" at 8am (may have been in a slight drift; hard to tell), plus maybe another 1/2"-1" while shoveling. So, guesstimate of approx 14-17" at 9am on east side of Columbia.Snow shoveled was rather light/fluffy, just deep. Temp has fluctuated on either side of 22 degrees all morning.It's all gravy from here. The sun could come out now and I'd still be happy at this point (words of horror to some, I know). This will be a minimum 2-day dig-out for many unless you have a team working with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonathanW Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Question about these spotter reports: are these numbers from 6-hour measurements, or are they snow depth? ...MONTGOMERY COUNTY... 1 SE MONT VILL: 20.5 809 AM 1/23 TRAINED SPOTTER GAITHERSBURG: 19.0 738 AM 1/23 COUNTY EMRG MGMT 1 ENE GARR PK 18.0 600 AM 1/23 TRAINED SPOTTER 1 ESE NORBECK 17.6 700 AM 1/23 TRAINED SPOTTER GERMANTOWN 17.0 636 AM 1/23 PUBLIC I live in northern Montgomery Village. Drifting makes accurate measurements difficult, but I believe 20.5" is in the ballpark for total snow depth. We had maybe 1/2 inch on the ground prior to the storm.

North Balti Zen Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I've got it at 14 inches for my part of Roland park in balt city - steady snow and wind. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clskinsfan Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 9:00 Heavy snow 22 Degrees 21 inches 5 inches in past 2 hours Just went for a Jebwalk in some of the heaviest snow I have ever seen. Dendrites coming down at an insane rate drops visibility's to 100 yards or so. A neighbor decides he is gong to work regardless. He makes it out of his driveway only to immediately wedge his Jeep up to the undercarraige. I help dig him out. he smartly backs up into his driveway and say's F this. About the only negative I can think of with this storm is the lack of any real wind. I am getting 10-15 MPH winds with minimal drifting. This one is shaping up to be one for the ages.

Amped Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 HRRR which has nailed this radar so far would give us another 1.5" liquid. Would put central MD close to 36" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdevil02 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Just cleared 14 inches on snow off my sidewalk. Cleared 5.5 inches last night, so somewhere around 19 inches, although this is definitely not a scientific measurement. I was running a few inches ahead of DCA all last night so these totals jive with their 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlet Pimpernel Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Question about these spotter reports: are these numbers from 6-hour measurements, or are they snow depth? ...MONTGOMERY COUNTY... 1 SE MONT VILL: 20.5 809 AM 1/23 TRAINED SPOTTER GAITHERSBURG: 19.0 738 AM 1/23 COUNTY EMRG MGMT 1 ENE GARR PK 18.0 600 AM 1/23 TRAINED SPOTTER 1 ESE NORBECK 17.6 700 AM 1/23 TRAINED SPOTTER GERMANTOWN 17.0 636 AM 1/23 PUBLIC Trained spotters I'd think would do the standard 6 hour measurements. Public reports, not sure. Now as for me, I'll readily admit I'm stuck having to measure snow depth technically during these events. Live in an apartment and cannot exactly set up a snow board and all that for truly proper measurements. But over the years I've found my reports are pretty consistent with others nearby my area. And I measure regularly throughout a storm. About the best I can do in the circumstances; if anything, my results could even be somewhat underestimated due to settling as an event goes on.

CAPE Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Hopefully there will be some fatties in the upcoming band. I have yet to see them. when that band went through here it was intense, low visibility, but not huge flakes. Impressive though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Lookin real nice for dca coming up. Early signs of banded structure showing up. They need to crack 20". 130% of climo in a single storm. Haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nj2va Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Let's hope the HRRRRRRRRR isn't on crack. If HRRR is right, I'm seeing another 12".
