Mrs.J Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Things are winding down over here. Currently 33 and light flurries and the sun is showing up. Just cleaned the driveway in record time. It is a heavy wet snow so glad we did not make projected amounts. I officially measured 6.75". We actually started to shed our warm clothing as we worked up a sweat. The sun angle is already starting to take its toll. I suspect that by the end of the day our solar panels will be mostly cleared off due to them heating up. Kids are already out, great snow for hard snowballs and snowmen. And for this girl from NW Ohio, totally driveable. Not that I need to go out by my husband jokingly asked me if I needed to go do donuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdhokie Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 First year at our new house and we actually have a sledding hill now. Kids were out early! Approaching 6" here in Ellicott City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deck Pic Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 33/31. Light sleet. Just measured in a bunch of places an unless we get some miracle band, final total is 3.25" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD Snow Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Sleet still in Pasadena. No snow mixing. 1.5 inches. Looks like the wrap around isn't going to wrap around and is moving north east pretty fast. Looks like the RGEM and UKIE nailed this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Looks like maybe a retreat eastward of the sleet line on the correlation coefficient radar in the last few frames? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErinInTheSky Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Still snowing in Gaithersburg pretty good, looks like it is accumulating. People are trying to shovel and snowblow outside and it is doing absolutely jack. The ice is not coming off the sidewalks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grothar of Herndon Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 32/28 Light snow with brightening sky. Looks like last hurrah here. 4" of sleet/snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoast NPZ Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Sounds like this storm was a dud. I don't feel as bad about my 5.25" now. Sun already poking out. As I thought last night, all this snow will be long gone by this afternoon. This would have been a fine storm in Jan. In March? Simply nuisance snow.

I have gone technology free since it started but totally expected big snow reports out of your area. Damn shame. I feel bad for a lot of folks in our area. Hopefully everyone found some enjoyment in this. Seriously. I was very surprised when I woke at 6 to the sound of heavy sleet.

BlizzardNole Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Adding onto another post above -- for me this was just a gut punch especially after a horrible winter. I just wish the models/forecasts had looked like a mixed to rain scenario with an inch or two and we over-performed with the general 2-5" amounts. These obs really stick out, esp the one just three miles from Frederick: 3 NW FREDERICK 10.0 800 AM 3/14 NWS EMPLOYEE MIDDLETOWN 8.0 755 AM 3/14 BROADCAST MEDIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxMan1 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 11 minutes ago, Round Hill WX said: This storm is a good example of why looking at soundings is more important than looking at snow maps. Amen. I was pleasantly surprised how well we did here in Crofton with the in-situ CAD, as we stayed below freezing all night. That was a surprise given that the forecast wet bulbs were around 33F. Thus the freezing rain... Also a surprise. 1.5" of snow+sleet along with a little more than 1/8" ice here in Crofton. The warming aloft is something we all worried about. I mean, seriously, 50-60 kts of easterly 900-800 mb flow is gonna cause problems most times, even west of 95. There are certainly outlier events, like the 4-6" of snow the other year on South winds with an Arctic high moving off the mid Atlantic coast. But this is March. Again though, the fzra was totally not climo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErinInTheSky Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 All of the footprints have been covered by the new snow that's been falling the last hour here. Last hurrah. Still hoping for that band Southwest of us in VA. Likewise, the sidewalks are just completely sheened over and the roads are still really bad.

There was a period of time where a run showing 6-10" over the area was considered a dud. I'm pretty sure most everyone here would consider that an epic win now.
