H2O Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 My kids get to sleep in a little. Snow falling here and dusting on everything. It looks nice out. Given how things were headed I wasn’t expecting ANY snow. This is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebman Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Anyone live near Dale City? Looks like I may have a third to half an inch on my lawn or should I slash that by half? I do get severe snowpack hallucinations sometimes lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Balti Zen Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Huh. Coming down pretty good in Balt city. Actual covering of the ground. Wasn’t expecting this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Balti Zen Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Good lord, just checked and I am at half an inch and it’s coming down pretty good, might see an inch after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scraff Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Just woke up to fresh and glorious powder. Life is awesome again! No clue how much, but visually the best snow of the winter so far for me. I’ll measure shortly. Coming down nicely as well. Need coffee first before measuring or I might accidentally slant stick it.

snjókoma Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Wow. Half an inch here, and snowing pretty good with nice-sized flakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomeguyfromTakomaPark Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Best event of the year so far in Takoma Park, MD. Guesstimating around a half inch with snow falling and breezy. All roads in my neighborhood are snow covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingstonian Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Dutifully went out at 06:00 and measured 0.2" for my morning spotter report, SSW Franconia/Kingstowne. Cold out there as I also swept my walkway clear with a broom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Towards Harrisburg is pushing 5"+ . Poconos 8" in spots . No complaints here. Yeah, I could smell the snow falling just to my north and west all day yesterday it was that close. Didn't start seeing some flakes in the air until later in the evening though. If it would have been the weekend I might have headed up to our trailer in the mountains just outside of Harrisburg where they probably have a half foot if not more.

mattie g Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Echo the thoughts of most everyone else. It was a nice little surprise to wake up to a half inch or so in Burke and fluffy dendrites falling from the sky. Should be a nice walk from the train to work.

Scraff Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Most of HoCo gettin some nice action. Kids and wife are happy (and asleep) for a two hour delay, and I’m happy to be reporting white fluffies falling with the first cup of joe in hand. Looks like 3/4” maybe? eta: 1” officially. And this band is rockin... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebman Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I am starting to get concerned about the western crew and the MD crew - they should have much more snow on the season. They got the climo, they should have the snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Side streets are slick where no pretreatment was put down. Main roads wet, Van Dorn, Franconia Rd are clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Also...during the short drive to the VRE station it felt like I was like off-roading. There was so much salt on the side roads that it was crunchy and bumpy the whole way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems that a 2 hr delay is warranted this time. It didn't take long for neighborhood roads to get covered. Was snowing decently at times too. Temps won't get any higher so its all going to stick.

Jebman Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Getting larger dendrites now, the growth zone is better. This keeps up, I could end up with an inch, my bar was half an inch. This just might overperform. Temp is down to 24 degrees. Green returns are right over my backyard, and I have moderate snow. decent dendrites, with gusty breezes, snow is blowing off roofs lol.

H2O Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Looking at meso maps there is some frontogenesis around the area so it could be why snow has managed to fall around DC despite what the models said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this keeps up for another hour, your kids and wife may be able to sleep even longer. Back edge looks like it may be filling in a bit in MD.

nj2va Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Just took a jebwalk with the dogs. Fluffy dendrites and 0.4”. A nice surprise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpoise2002 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Current temp in Hanover,Pa 23° moderate snowfall. Woke up to roughly 2" of powder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDM Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 The way the radar looks currently to the SW, we could have several more hours of this. If so, could see us "busting high" with over an inch. lol - over an inch? I'll take it. Probably my imagination, but the western edge down in GA seems to be moving east, while the western edge around Blacksburg is holding. Lots of darker returns in there too. Are we perhaps seeing a pivot with the trailing Low riding up the front? Edit - sorry nw bal wx - didn't mean to copy your comment, but noticed the same thing...

Herb@MAWS Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Nice wake-up surprise -- mod snow. Eyeballing 1/2", maybe a hallucinatory 3/4". Everything is white, which was my only requirement, having set the bar quite low for this event. 26.5 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MD Snow Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Over 3/4”. Almost an inch. Headed out to hook up the plow. I’d say it’s still coming down moderately. Not a single model showed me getting this much yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
