Cold smoke this is not. Those hours of freezing drizzle and sleet made the snow compact like concrete. Only about 5 in on the paved driveway and walkway. The kind of snow that sticks to the shovel. Back-breaking actually. There was 7 inches on the vehicle and on elevated colder surfaces so my 7.25 looks about right. Very icy. 6.1 average ground depth. Nothing like the 10-12 many of you have. Congratulations!! Good stuff. Congrats! Seven inches is an amazing total! Plus, you get to go out and watch people walking like a penguin on that ice! I might have to write about the infamous ice jebwalk of 2004......... 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve25 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Looks like I'm coming in a loser from this evening stuff. I'm in Baltimore but I've got nothing but the occasional flurries. My total has stood at 4.5 inches. It's looked like the heavy bands have been on my doorstep for hours but just aren't getting here. Does anyone know the last official measurements at BWI?

Does anyone know the last official measurements at BWI? Not sure but BWI should have been getting really good snow the past 3-4 hours. They should be over 8 and maybe hit double digits.

H2O Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Looks like I'll have 8.6" when its all said and done. Radar drying up for me. Great storm. Want more and one day I'll get into the good banding that so many get for the whole duration. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations!! Good stuff. That is what happened out my way, about 4 inches of snow, then about 2am it flipped to sleet that packed it down and about two hours of drizzle/snizzle. Heavy, heavy stuff to shovel. BUT, it is white and pretty! Been snowing lightly past 2 hours, coated everything back over, looks like another 0.3, but I'll measure here in a few.

Scarlet Pimpernel Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Hit the 10.0" mark a short while ago when I last measured! Still coming down but lighter. Incredible finish to this event, I got nearly 4" since about 3:30PM. Outside the Jan. 2016 blizzard (which is in a totally different class), this is easily the largest snowfall since Feb. 2014 in terms of accumulation at least. And this one, unlike Feb. 2014, didn't involve a period of slop for part of it. Here's a recent photo from this evening (thank goodness for image stabilized lenses! )... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was ready to call it at 5.3 inches. And be perfectly happy with that. And I am definitely over 8 now. Crazy. 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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...

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...

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.

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...
