MillvilleWx Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Had about 0.25" when I left the house for work and it wasn't snowing anymore, so I'm going with that as my final. Love a nice high ratio powder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dailylurker Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I need this to produce. Just .1 that's all I'm asking for...I think it getting into DC now. Doesn't look bad on radar. I'm getting ready to get my shoes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87storms Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 the flakes are either lagging behind the radar echoes or this is a very light snow shower moving through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacintoshPro Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Radar looks like its over for NW DC and N Arlington. well that was fun. i enjoyed my 20 minutes of moderate flurries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingstonian Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Flurries finally falling in Franconia, though lighter than what we saw when we left a dinner party in Dunn Loring nearly an hour ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WEATHER53 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 They blew it prior to the blizzard with untreated roads and 1/2" of snow that packed down to a glaze. Once burned they over caution everything else until May. Light dusting here but no real temp drop so still think the arctic surge is back west about 4-6 hours from moving thru and we well may get a better burst then.

Bob Chill Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I'd say it's delayed. Echos no longer over me, but nice snow still falling with big flakes The delay is normal. Especially with light dry snow. There's a lag between the radar beam picking up flakes above and ground truth. One of our members (I apologize for not remembering who) posted a good example with a pic of big flakes falling with a sunny backdrop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gymengineer Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 This was a stupid event all around. I covered flurries for 5 hours. This is a really crude rule-of-thumb I have been using just based on observing these little events over the years: At least one model that's not a short term one--- NAM, GFS, Euro, RGEM-- has to spit out a 0.1" QPF contour somewhere nearby for me to be optimistic of seeing beyond a trace. There was this tiny bullseye of 0.1" QPF over the DC metro region on the NAM the day of the pre-blizzard inch which made the possibility of an actual accumulation legit in my mind. Over the years, we've had many clipper situations where either the GFS or NAM blinked in the last moment, but as long one of the two still painted 0.1"+ QPF over the area, there ended up being multiple 1" snow totals.
