NorthArlington101 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Calling it 4” flat. Assuming rest won’t accumulate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I probably got over 5" but I'm calling it 5" for nice even round numbers. Warning level event and beautiful scene. Great day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Mount Holly put thunder in the updated forecast here around noon, and upped totals to 6-12"(I should make the low end of that). I want my thunder snow dammit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceFrederickWx Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Last time I measured at 1pm I had 4.5". It's been snowing hard since then- I'm guessing we've added at least another 2" to that total. My oldest son and I built a snowman using Easter Eggs (in the background you can also see the Daffodils covered in snow). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best thing I have seen all day is occurring now- the wind dropping huge clumps of snow from the trees lol. So cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowmagnet Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I took a nice Jebwalk earlier and the snow is really beautiful. I had to walk through the woods to avoid the sidewalks and roads that people have shoveled and plowed. I would say we probably got about 5" here in Fairfax, but it started compacting after most of it fell this morning. It was lovely, but definitely underperformed. I guess our Low pressure didn't get cranking until it headed northeast... as usual this winter/Spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clskinsfan Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Oh and where is that Baltimore County troll from the threads over the past couple of days. Him thinking he was going to jackpot over PSU or Sparky.....Hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Looks like 3.5" will by my final in Falls Church. Actually popped up over 36 degrees there for a bit. Always nice to get snow, but this will not go down as a memorable storm in my neck of the woods. I actually did better with both March 2013 storms (snowquester and 3/25).

Cobalt Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Little bout of light-moderate snow. Probably won't add on to the total, but pretty to look at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravensrule Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Not a perfect measurement because of compaction issues but 6.5" would seem around the average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonderdog Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 It has to be a good event if Reagan reports 4 inches. A pretty day for snow watchers. Eyeballing it looks like 4 or 5 inches in Manassas that basically fell in 6 or so hours. Nice rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My blog people are way too nice come on man stop focusing on how much it could have been... it was a nice storm and you know it. Imagine you are a little kid who loves snow and you don't have access to the internet and had no clue it was coming and today happened at the end of March. You would be running around outside like it was Christmas. Close your eyes click your heels 3 times and smile Ji....It snowed!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never say never and all but I think at 4.3" total, this will be my biggest snowstorm I've ever witnessed, but I still have yet to experience a warning-level event that materializes. Some pictures (before compaction) Yea this storm was a tremendous disappointment. Left work yesterday after a clean flush hit from the majority of the guidance expecting double digit snow and just barely verified warning criteria at work and home. Maybe next year.

osfan24 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Ended up with around 5, with almost all of it falling over a fun three hour period. Overall, this storm gets a D+. It was supposed to snow well into the evening and it basically snowed until noon or so and then turned to light snow showers and the dripping began. The period this morning was great and saved the entire storm from being a total fail. This storm seemed to befuddle everyone, so I guess you just try to learn something from it and hope it helps in the future. Frustrating but fitting way to close out this winter.

WVclimo Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 A band just rotated through here that reduced visibility below 1/4 mile. The additional accumulation it added brought my storm total to 15" Now up to 33 straight hours of frozen precip. Best birthday ever ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, I have to admit I was disappointed when I woke up to 33 and rain.. once it changed over it’s been coming down hard practically all day.

This would've been a double digit snowfall in January. This is late March. 4" or more (6-8" in some areas from the 2nd wave) is pretty good for late March. It may not have been the late March crippling snowstorm the Euro showed, but it's nothing to sneeze at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paleocene Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 My fave photo from my jebwalk (NW Branch of the Anacostia). This was taken around 12pm when it was still moderate snow. It's been tapering all afternoon slowly, now maybe a bit of pixie mist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
