smokeybandit Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Too bad temps busted high overnight. I was hoping for an ice layer on top to prevent the fast melting of the snow today and tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonderdog Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 8 hours ago, WesternFringe said: Enough roads in my county (after getting 12") have not been plowed sufficiently so as to deem the roads safe for travel with buses. If Wonderdog were in charge, we would be in school on Thursday instead of out. If only we had his leadership, some of the school system could be open tomorrow. I was referring to Fairfax County when I gave that opinion, where 4-5 inches fell. And yes, things would be different if I were in charge., but alas I am not.

GramaxRefugee Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Compaction was fierce at my location. My usual measuring area was bombarded with heavy snow blobs from high trees. Smashed it down to about 4". So went to the other side of the house for the best measure of 6". If someone suggests more, it might be a fair arguement. P.S. I was turning into a snow weenie; carrying around a ruler in my pocket while I shoveled walks and cleared off cars; searching for truth. Ugh.

mattie g Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 All roads around Burke (including county and residential roads) were completely snow- and ice-free as of 6:30 am. Didn't notice any icy sidewalks in my neighborhood, either. I fully expect to see plenty of bare spots on lawns by the end of the day today given temps in the 40s and plenty of sun. Won't be sad to see it go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlizzardNole Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 1 hour ago, WxUSAF said: Thanks for posting that map! When zoomed in, it clearly shows the Germantown snow hole which is quite common, due to higher elevations from W all the way around to NE. It also frequently kills thunderstorms which re-form once they get east. You should see the hole from Jan 2000 -- I got 7" with 14-17" west and 15-20 east. The ironic part is I moved up here from Calvert to get better snow. Fail! Except for a few rare instances. We got about 3.5 total. As of December, I will be up to 35 months since the last warning criteria snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poolz1 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I'll stick with 12.5" as a total. Received another .5" last night. Coincides nicely with that map posted... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the only shade of 3-4 inch light blue north of DC when you open the map in high res lol! Hey there: I was going to mention this to you (see my other comment on the snow map). Despite being well N&W of DC, our area frequently gets low amounts due to the terrain nearby. We are more like inside the Beltway snow-wise than places like Frederick, despite being halfway between or even closer to Frederick. I moved here from Calvert in 1994. Yes there have been times when it paid off, but more times than not it is a bad spot. Another thing I've noticed in snow-to-rain events -- we flip almost simultaneously with DC while areas just north stay snow for way longer. In events like round one on Tuesday, the rain/snow line seems to be draped just north of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskimo Joe Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Amazing how fast the totals dropped off once you got south of MD 26 and east of US 15. Highly elevation dependent snowstorm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighStakes Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Nws spotter who lives 1 mile from my house at about the same elevation report 13.5 at 4 p.m. yesterday. We picked up at least a half inch after that until it shut off at 7:30. Then we got another inch with the band dropping down from Pennsylvania. Going with 15 for final total.
