I ended up doing more shoveling when I got back, since the plows had moved a mountain of snow just beyond the edge of my driveway while I was gone, and I knew it'd be a glacier come morning. \ Very shweet pics!!!! That plow plowing you in nice and tight - THAT IS THE BEST PART OF THE STORM. Now, you go out and you get to enjoy digging even more of the snow! You pile it up even higher, and here's the best part of all: That snow is COMPACTED. Lovingly shovel every last flake and pile it all up north of some sun-blocking object, like your house. This is all bonus snow. Pile it high. When that reviled sun comes up tomorrow, you will be GLAD you did. You'll have fresh COMPACTED snow to feast your eyes on until the next storm, and you dont have long to wait. THAT storm is gonna be a doozy. Confidently fly your snow weenie freak flag and fly it well with a super overkill tall snow wall! Show everyone you know how to shovel snow! You will have the baddest snow wall in your entire 'hood! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just measured 10" on my deck, I'm assuming there has been some compaction in the last 24 hours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomeguyfromTakomaPark Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Before I forget I wanna note that the ICON did pretty well with this storm. Nailed the 2nd part. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herb@MAWS Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 9.5" to 10" plus/minus looks like a good average at 9pm for eastern HoCo area. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpaschall Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I cant figure out why snow is not hitting the ground in Westminster...Its been dry for the past hour and I am under 20dbz according to NWS radar. Ill take my 4" and be happy though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoast NPZ Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Getting some heavier snow now. Small flakes, but coming down. Accumulating. 7.1". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was a fun weekend. One for the books. Not totals but longevity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavy_wx Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Measured about 9.5" on the ground here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEOS5ftw Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Just measured 11.8 inches on the top of the car, 5 new since the heavy stuff started late afternoon. Seems to agree with other reports around me (Weather53, 1N four corners in the PNS). From the looks of radar we may be able to eke out those last few tenths to get over an inch. BTW melted a core sample earlier today, ratio was probably 11:1 so not outrageously high. Will take another tomorrow morning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

das Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I can confirm @Ka60‘s 12.5” total. I asked my roommate (who HATES the snow) to go stick my 12” ruler into the snow on the back deck and let me know what the snowdepth was and she flatly said to me, “it disappeared, you’ll have to find it yourself when you get here tomorrow”.

Ka60 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I am not making this up. as of 9:46 PM moderate snow. I will do another round of measurement when it stops!!! I will have more pictures later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ers-wxman1 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 The little engine that could. Just came home to 10.5” in Ashburn Village. So much for a dusting to 2”. Maybe I’ll retire on that note ;-). 4 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negnao Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Dca 9 inches as of 7pm according to the NWS. Wonder if the CWG figure of 9.8 was accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthArlington101 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Still snowing in Charlottesville at a fairly consistent rate of .2" an hour, which makes the total here 4.7" now. Sidewalks have been healthily recovered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it happened in C'ville also. Yes, it did. It was especially annoying because we were able to get flurries earlier yesterday with worse returns. That + some ice pellets + no overhead returns screwed the C'ville area today. And as I mentioned above, continuing to lightly snow with no returns overhead now. Weird place.

Still snowing and sticking. Lol. Silver spring/wheaton/rockville/derwood did very well. We all have about the same. Very memorable storm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
