real Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 The intensity of this evening snow in DC clearly caught a lot of people off guard, rightly or wrongly. Just walked 20 blocks —- whereas city snow plows were lined up on every few blocks before the first flake fell yesterday, didn’t see one this evening. And major hotels and business that usually have an army of workers at the ready to clear each 1/2 inch off sidewalks, had completely snow-packed sidewalks.

jeddins42 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I'm right with you on this.This. In Mt Airy and that band keeps disintegrating before it crosses Rte 70. Teaser for sure. Happy for other members though!Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve25 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Man...I was feeling good about getting 4.5 inches out of this until I saw all of you up near 10. Are any of you near Baltimore? That would be the ultimate punch to the gut lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlet Pimpernel Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 4 minutes ago, Bob Chill said: Euro nailed the band out there. Underdid qpf but placement was perfect. Euro well with qpf leading in. Was showing .65 iad/.70 dca/.50 bwi (going off memory). Not bad at all. Yup, I think that is what the Euro was showing for this event yesterday. Wasn't it also calling for an additional 0.25-0.30 or there about from 1PM onward (in today's 12Z run...maybe that's what you mean about the band)? (ETA: So maybe...if the Euro kind of led the way on this one for QPF, it may well be correct with that crazy 1"+ of ice next weekend! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeesburgWx Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 As this band wraps up later on, I think I will likely finish around 10.5" - 11" What a storm 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErinInTheSky Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 11.5” final total in Germantown. I seem to have tracked perfectly with @Bob Chill‘s Numbers. Pictures soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The outer band moved around a lot but the 12z run today showed a bullseye out in winchester and wv panhandle. Was too low. Eta: euro missed the leesburg/upper moco/hoco jackpot between 18-0z. Upper level stuff is really hard to nail placement. That type of precip is almost always a nowcast deal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillvilleWx Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 In laws near Laytonsville with just under a foot. 11.9” official with light snow. What a great storm to follow. I’ll be back for this weekend and next weekend though. Let’s reel in a few more shall we . 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeoman Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Not sure if it was posted, but 9.8" measured at National Airport as of 7:50p 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlet Pimpernel Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Just think...only a few days ago, we were thinking a couple of inches would be a win here at this point, as a prelude to what many are thinking could be an awesome pattern we'll be heading into. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthArlington101 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Oddly enough, light snow with fatty flakes continues in Charlottesville. 4.5”, continuing at a pace of .2” an hour. Picked up .5” since daybreak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowmagnet Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 The Northern trend was real in this storm. We thought Fredericksburg was the bullseye, and then just south of DC. And the short term models keeps moving a bit north. But just south really suffered from the mix and north and west did very well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dukeblue219 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 We have 9.0" right now measured on a car top in the open. Maybe would have been 10+ with regular clearing. Definitely a fun day all around, especially with the mid afternoon snow round and the late 7pm burst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than a light on and off dusting I haven't had anything since about 10 or 11am. I'm right next to 83 less than a mile south of the train station.

jayyy Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Normal that people right outside intense bands see flurries as it dumps a few miles away. Intense lifting means sinking air outside the band. What may look like a snowy radar may produce not much in reality. We got lucky here in HoCo and MoCo. 11” 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ironic thing is the reason the snow totals ended up being much higher than we thought is the same reason it wasn't cold smoke. Lol. I'm good with that. The afternoon snow was very high ratio. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
