RichmondTarHeel Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Mad at myself for getting my hopes up. Probably less than an inch here in Fairfax, and I was letting some of the model runs lead me to believe I’d wake up to 2-4” of snow, especially once I saw last night’s euro.

All the forecasts out there were in the 1 inch territory for my back yard, so anything from 0.5”-1.5” was what I was hoping for. That verified. A few individual model runs here and there spiked up past 0.15” liquid, but those strayed from the model blend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paleocene Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 About an inch of powder in and around Hyattsville... which was disappointing, but expected. We were very consistently modeled to be right around the edge of 0.1" QPF by the globals. Serious envy of the people on the shore right now - but I'm glad they get a real blizzard as they're often dealing with mixing or plain rain. I'm more jealous of my PHL friends who are of course well inland but getting warning criteria snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchnick Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 About an inch and a half but all the blowing makes it an educated guess. It was snowing pretty well at 1:30 when I went to bed but dry air got into the mix soon thereafter per hourly reports. Looks and feels like deep winter now. Mini (at least) thaw incoming next week.

You made an assumption as to who I am. I knew what was coming with this storm, and it would be careless of me to expect my employees to drive under these conditions in the Richmond area. I made previsions ahead of time for this very reason. So yes, I can stay up most of the night. But even if I had to work today, a little loss sleep for 1 night would not slow me down. Did I own up enough? At the same time, I do not want to cause any ill effects here on the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SabreAce33 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Moderate snow here in SBY, but definitely thinning out. Measuring depth with any accuracy is very difficult due to drifting. I suspect something from 6-9" makes sense in my neighborhood, though plenty of spots are 12"+. Winds have been ripping for a while now, but no damage here due to very limited fetch.

Negnao Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Pretty good. At 7am DCA reported .17 of precip and they might get another .01-.03. Of course their snow ratio is a joke and only .8 of snow was reported on that. Edit: I was responding to the thread about ppl complaining the euro gave .2 to DC and thought that it was smoking crack.

Deck Pic Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Hard to say with drifting, but probably about an inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Looks like about .5" in N. Bethesda. I can get to an inch if I slant stick the drifts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RevWarReenactor Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Got about 3 inches here in Delaware, was able to telework. I am at peace with this. It stings a bit that my parents house in NJ is getting their 8-12 inches, but its ok. I think I would have wigged out if we got flurries and they got a foot. But with this, I can deal with it. Most of it will be gone by Monday. Whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MA beaches sure looked like a sweet spot across all guidance, and it has come to fruition. In the end places along the MD, DE. SNJ coast may end up doing better than places just north. S and E NE should get hit hard though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthArlington101 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 .5” or so. Road never got covered much, which shocked me. County must’ve dumped salt on it without me knowing. Apparently other roads got covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astarck Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 1.2” in Shirlington. I think it actually overperformed here relative to others, and in line with many of the model runs from yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dailylurker Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Closing in on 3" at my house. 3 miles to my west looks like less. Probably only 2 in Crofton. Still coming down pretty good under this stationary bad. Wind picking up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
