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 This was only a rehearsal, Leesburg. The Snow Gods went easy on the Mid Atlantic with this first snow. This is going to be an EPIC Winter for the Mid Atlantic! 4 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...

I've easily picked up a couple inches in the past two hours. I feel like every subsequent run of HRRR doesn't change amounts going forward.

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...

Bob Chill Posted January 14, 2019 Author Share Posted January 14, 2019 The icing would be for the big moco-hoco deathband to hold together and rotate through DC as the pivot completes. My guess is no but every conservative guess i've made has been wrong 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As so many others have been saying, this is just the beginning of a potentially epic period of deep winter. Glad you were able to experience this, even if it was mostly from inside. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
