Shane M. Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 21", but that is an estimate at best. Have a drift that is more like a big plateau in my backyard at 27". Edit - no way I'm losing to DCA I'm in East Falls Church in Arlington and that sounds about right to me. It's definitely difficult to measure at this point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deck Pic Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Observer told CWG 17" at 4.pm so doesnt make sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdsofprey02 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 It is absolutely Destroying right now. i hope BVFC can get the safeway gone through safely. Biggest flakes of this event right now Very light weight snow still But flakes are humungo Can I get a link for this radar? Don't like the one I'm using right now. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlaskaETC Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Observer told CWG 17" at 4.pm so doesnt make sense Could be at 20" or so now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacintoshPro Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 That would be 6.7". Yep. I wonder if its possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Might get to 20" after all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T. August Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Gotta be over two feet out there. Probably hit 30 as this final death band is rotting out right over my backyard. You gotta have 20 there by now. I didn't check the relatively protected area until late morning, so compaction could have occurred too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacintoshPro Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Could be at 20" or so now though. I don't think they got 3" in the last 54 minutes... there was a lull in the deathband 20 minutes ago and its only now just started to puke again.

H2O Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 What was your last "good" measurement, in your opinion? You're only a mile or two up the road from me, and I've had a heckuva time tryinng to get decent readings on my two boards today. After most recent bands have come through, I *think* I'm up to 19-20"....but I have only medium confidence in that, based on so much blowing snow. I really haven't tried much once it started pouring and blowing. I've tried to watch what areas seem less drifty. I am guessing I will have enough to get to at least 22" but will wait for things to die down a bit more before attempting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southmdwatcher Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 4 to 5 inches here in Waldorf since I cleared the board at 2pm, 19 to 20 inches storm total now, wind is roaring in gusts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 If BWI had almost 20" at 1pm, then it has to be over 2' now. I have to be around 2'. 5-6" new since the deform band hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Hard to say if the final band over HGR holds together once it gets here. At least one more good band to move through DCA now. Hopefully somehow someway DCA can hit 20" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deck Pic Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Now it is amended to show 8.5" on day...which would be 14.9" on event, which was their 1pm ob....I know these guys at LWX and FAA are tired..hopefully they will work it out soon....obviously around 18" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrinceFrederickWx Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 This may be the most intense part of the entire event that I've seen. Heavy snow, windy, 30 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxMan1 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Paul Kocin, others, and I were talking about SNOW DEPTH vs. SNOW FALL. Folks, this has always been, and continues to be an inexact science. The depth is easy -- it is what it is. Here at the NCWCP, it was around 17" as of 4 pm (on average). Snow FALL? We're estimating 19", but it could be higher considering the blowing off the boards. The thing is, if we're all getting liquid equivalents over 2", in some areas well over 2", then I think there's more of a risk that we're underestimating amounts (compaction, blowing, etc) vs. overestimating.
