BlizzardNole Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 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. I wish they had an official downtown measuring spot since Knickerbocker's 28" was in town. If DC gets lucky with bands today and a spotter in DC records over 28", it beats Knickerbocker IMO, even though it wouldn't be official. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarlet Pimpernel Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Thought I may have heard thunder sometime after 5AM, but may have been a plow nearby.

LakeEffectKing Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 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? Absolutely! Deform banding can sometimes be unreal!! And you will see that the radar intensities will "look" like lighter snows, but ratios will jump a bit later today, thus rates may actually be better (2-3"/hr.) Dendrites will be better too, as the winds calm down a bit...I'd peg DCA's final at 30" plus or minus 3".... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm from Richmond and we got shafted with sleet after 6 inches of snow at onset. They expected 17inches here but that's not happening. Holding out a little hope on the wraparound bands can add 4-5 more here today. Anyone see Richmond getting more then 5 inches today? Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
