It was good for November (just over 3" here), but the really good totals were further north and west. I guess there are just a few of us left in the subforum who haven't had a warning criteria storm yet. Hopefully that will soon change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of you haven't seen a big storm in years, so I hope you all enjoy this one. 2nd and 3rd this! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LP08 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 10” on the nose from three places on the deck. I didn’t wipe so maybe some compaction but double digits!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poolz1 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Band is consolidating nicely over the western areas. Should be another hour or so of good snows out here before the pivot completes and heads east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SomeguyfromTakomaPark Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 One of my favorite storms ever, wasn’t it just like Wednesday we were talking about how 2-4 would be a win? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might still get into this band as moves east. This afternoon has been something else. I was ready to call it at 5.3 inches. And be perfectly happy with that. And I am definitely over 8 now.

Wonderdog Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Impressive overperformer. Measured 9.5 inches in Gainesville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormpc Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 We didn't finish very well here in eastern Prince William. Just came in from shoveling. 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. 1 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?

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...

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...
