osfan24 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Really not a bad storm if you are in the preferred northwest suburbs. They are going to end up in the 6-10 range. A lot of those model runs had a bullseye on Bmore for a good dump so those of us in and around the city are a bit disappointed in our dusting, but oh well. On to the next one!

Expat Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 There are pulses within the band, so any large flakes won't last long... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all of the talk of "NE MD" being the sweetspot for this storm the banding hasn't been nearby at all. I was down on this event from the start just because of how unusual the setup was and because in marginal events like this the NW burbs always do better.

Skywalker03 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 After my last ob it really turned into a snow globe in north Rockville. My cul de sac street just caved. Big, big flakes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87storms Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 moral of the story is the yellows are producing. someone in olney over to columbia area i think is in line if it holds, though it's convective. at it's peak for about 5-10 minutes straight it was nothing but large flakes and close to each other. snow globe status. back to mod and now light snow here, but fun while it lasted.

RevWarReenactor Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 This would actually be a decent storm if it wasn't white rain. Pouring snow here. Even the flakes hitting snow aren't sticking. When am I am going to learn that 33/34 degrees and snow in the middle of the day doesn't accumulate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Herndon the longevity of the band has been the challenge. Moderate snow with huge flakes, but only last for 5-10 minutes and then goes back to light min-flakes for 15-20 minutes. Rinse and repeat... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
