Scarlet Pimpernel 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 Yeah looks like today should be nice. Wondering when that stuff to the west starts rotating through more east. Looks like right now radar is still moving things SE-NW, so I assume the low isn't quite yet at this latitude? I imagine winds will pick up too.

PhineasC Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Good snow here now. Piling up again. Looks like NE MD will be in good snow for the next few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EB89 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" I haven't gone out to measure. Think we are over 24"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky 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 They are supposed to be storm totals.

Amped Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I haven't gone out to measure. Think we are over 24"? Just measured 23" which makes about 12" in the last 5 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bodhi Cove Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Sparrows Point, MD: best I can determine is 11" at 9:00 am. (Mid range drifts 20", large drifts 34") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Just went out and shoveled. About a foot at the garage, but 16" or at the end of the driveway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlet Pimpernel Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Looks like another 8-12" today for most people. DCA, barring something horrific, should hit 20 easily if it already has 16 I'm rooting hard for DCA to crack 20", finally, and maybe even sneak up to #2 all time. As good as this storm looked and is turning out, I never felt the Knickerbocker was really in play. That event is simply way up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 If HRRR is right, I'm seeing another 12". It did really well last night with the heavy bands so hopefully it's limited its crack this morning. Good to hear. I really want to beat Feb 5-6, and need 10" to tie!

astarck Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Short range models did pretty well with the 14-18" by morning. I think they were slightly on the high end but not insane. Almost unfathomable to think we could do this all over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinylfreak89 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 20". Mad I missed the thundersnow, but its ok. Maybe I'll get lucky and we'll get more. The newest HRRR really doesn't show this letting up all day. Have another 4k video, this time from death band 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EB89 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Just measured 23" which makes about 12" in the last 5 hours. If that's the case, I really do think we have a chance at 36" at the rate it is coming down now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacintoshPro Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Good band about to roll through. Looking for the mythical increase in flake size at some point today. I've realized that the dendrites actually aren't the fastest accumulating - you want small sized flakes coming down thick and fast for the real heavy rates.

Kmlwx Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 DCA will blow away 20"....And you speak way too soon re: Knickerbocker...DCA has a shot at 30+"... Do you think they have a shot at the 30+ simply due to duration of light-mod snows throughout the day? Or do you think there will continue to be intensification of the banding type features to the south and a prolonged increase in the snow intensity again?
