Scraff Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Just now, WxUSAF said: Finally getting the Loudon-Fairfax-DC-MoCo superband! Big flakes and best rates of the storm. Picked up around 520pm while I was shoveling/snowblowing. Driveway covered again. Measured 0.2" on the snowboard at 5pm for a storm total of 6.1". I'm sure there's more than another 0.2" already in the last 20 minutes. That’s what dreams are made of —Van Halen About time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you still cashed in with the ULL right? Yeah, 1.5 or a bit more. Might be able to get to 7. The bands rarely set up over me. Still, great event. 100x better than any event since Jan 2016. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adding 2.5" and counting with this last batch is off the chain. Same here. Sidewalks were already shoveled and cars brushed off. Thought it was over.

Bob Chill Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 This storm broke a lot of mid atlantic rules of thumb Onset earlier than forecast Virga was minimal Models kept get better through and after onset Snowfall was unusually evenly distributed There was no parrs deathband (i feel bad for psu) Nova and DCA are jackpotting Warm air advection overperformed Upper level low qpf is higher than forecast Shutoff is later than forecast Start to finish will span 30 hours Let all that sink in for a minute... 33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormpc Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Pulled 1 inch the last hour but snow has gotten even heavier. Best of the day. Just over 7 in for the event. Heavy snow, 29.4. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87storms Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 This is overperforming like some of our recent rainers. Double digits are in play if these rates continue for a couple more hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlizzardNole Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 10 minutes ago, supernovasky said: East of Daly Elementary. I bet the roads are terrible right now. I have 6" on hard surfaces but there is a ton of compaction on them. 9" on anything that is insulated. Oh they were bad! I saw a few cars slip, especially when starting from a stop. The unplowed neighborhood streets are easy; it was that half inch of new snow on Rt. 355 that was super slick. My 19-year-old son drives home from work at Wegmans at 6:00. Glad he took the Outback! I didn't do the proper measuring and I know was compacting earlier. I have 7" on the ground now with moderate snow, 28 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this day in age of access to actual real degreed Mets (unlike Palka) and real time model information, I have no idea why any weather enthusiast would give 2 sh*ts about what the local tv station says.
