This, is a very very good time for a nice, leisurely jebwalk. You know its good when you gotta walk backwards against the snow because you can't even see where you're going. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went on a 30 min walk and it's just pouring snow, my hair stood no match.. must've had like a half inch accumulate on it by the time I got back home. I measured something like 8.5 inches on the grass near a local road so I think we had somewhere between 9 or 9.5'' so far correcting for compaction.

I feel like it’s bedn snowing quite a while, but I still have just around 7.5. I sweep every 6 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpringfieldSkins Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Burke VA, same spot I’ve been measuring from all day and not sure what’s been lost to compaction. I’ll take almost 9” and counting out of a 2-4” storm any day. I believe that we officially got NAM’d. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeesburgWx Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 9.5" of compressed snow now and still dropping out of the sky! Will easily be able to pick up that extra half inch by the end of this storm and hit double digits! More shoveling for me tomorrow morning. 1 shovel session this morning was enough haha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I measured just over 8.5 Haven’t measured recently, but I had 7.75 as of 3:00. Expecting I’m about done because I see being stuck in subsidence between the Montgomery County band and the one south of us. Great storm though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poolz1 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Radar not as impressive over me right now but snow rates have not decreased. A sign we still have decent dynamics even out this way. Somewhere in HOCO/MOCO is going to Jack imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After each measurement clean the board. After the storm is done, add em up. Only every 6 hours, over 4 measurements in 24 hours is a no-no per NWS.

jnis Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 7.75 snow depth. About 1.5-2” since 4:30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmlwx Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 First big snow since moving to Columbia. We're on the 8th floor and I've lost my ruler so no official measurement. It's dumping out there the last hour, though. Looks like two reports near me of over 9 inches so I'd assume I'm around the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gymengineer Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 It can’t be a bad sign heading into an even better pattern that the two serviceable windows this season have so efficiently given our subforum two 10”+ snowstorms. Richmond wasn’t locked in for their 11” heading into the event either. These are some juiced up storms. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
