Jesus that’s embarrassing DCA beat me too. 9.8” on 1.01” precip. Almost perfectly a 10:1 ratio on the storm However, and I don’t know if this held everywhere, but ratios were terrible yesterday. 8:1 here. I’m guessing it was the non-accumulating snow from 7am to 2pm that did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the 2nd biggest storm since I've moved here (HECS 2016, when 15.5" fell, is #1).

Buddy1987 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Congrats everyone who got clobbered up that way! I was consistently modeled around 6” and got about 1.5 with crust on top due to sleet primarily falling. On to the next one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frustrating for those of us in here in the blue. Although I think that frustration was generally handled well. Probably the biggest forum splitter in terms of totals over such a short distance in our forum where a majority of forum cashed and a small area didn’t since I think the second Feb 2010 blizzard left @mattie g area behind in terms of totals. Maybe @C.A.P.E.‘s area in Jan. 2016 in the dry slot too. fun storm to track though and at least no one got shut out. Frustration reigns when there are sharp cutoffs. Hell...I was annoyed watching the evening band set up 20-30 miles north of me even though it had already dropped good amounts as it came through here and left me with close to double digits. February 10, 2010 dropped 8-9” here in Burke. Had one really intense band in mid-morning, and it snowed for quite a few hours, but definitely missed out on bigger totals in my neck of the woods. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the big storm in 2016 had the dry slot which seemed to be missed by forecasters. This storm was sort of a 2 part deal, and that is always tricky. Part one worked out well here- I was thinking 5-6 and I ended up a bit over 5. Yesterday afternoon/evening was a complete whiff, and even my updated forecast at 330 pm was still calling for 2-4", but not a flake fell. We had a 20 minute part 2 around 4pm. And that burst probably added .25" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midatlanticweather Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Final for me would be 8.4 on the ground. I am certain that would have been higher had there not been compaction and melting during the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukeblue219 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I love waking up the day after a snow storm and seeing almost all the snow still on the trees and ground. January storms are the best. No plows on our street to wreck it yet, either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clueless Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 12 inches. Crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southmdwatcher Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Storm total of 8.5", 6.5" on the ground. Liquid equivalent of 1.01" 2 day total. Sleet and freezing rain fell from approximately 1030am until 5pm. 2.5" after we switched back over. The heavy bands of snow from the upper low never set up over my location. Nice storm for most in the region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomeguyfromTakomaPark Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 This for me is my 3rd favorite storm since moving to this area in 2009. 1. Feb 5-6, 2010 2. Jan 20-21, 2016 3. This The reason I put this ahead of Feb 9-10 is because this one was a big reverse bust and broke a big streak of no good storms. Even halfway through the storm we weren’t sure if it was over. Last night around 7:45 walking the dog was one of my favorite jebwalks ever. **disclaimer, I was out of town for Dec 2009 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nj2va Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Going with 9.8" total which fits with reports around me. I'm still in shock DCA recorded double digits. What an amazing storm! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormpc Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 7.5 total. Only 1.75 from round 2. I was about 15 miles too far south and east of the goods. In that several hour lull, I had sleet and freezing rain/drizzle. The round 2 bands set up about 40 miles north of what was modeled. As usual. Pretty uniform totals across PWC with 7 to 11 inches reported east to west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast NPZ Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 7.2". Great storm, but what happened to more snow to the south? Martinsburg with 4" more than me. Lol. Wtf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was nice to see DCA reach 10" for the first time since the January 22-23, 2016 mega snowstorm. Hopefully, all locations in the region will cash in with even larger amounts as the pattern continues to evolve toward a cold and potentially snowy one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErinInTheSky Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Oh my god guys, I have a pile of snow that is 3' high from shoveling. My son now has a tiny shovel that a neighbor gave me. I really got to meet all of my neighbors who helped a clueless person like me figure out how to deal with all the snow. This is great. Bonus pictures! 11.5" was my final snowfall amount.

EastCoast NPZ Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 6 minutes ago, wxtrix said: we got into heavy bands for several hours yesterday afternoon. at one point my visibility was down to 1/8 mile. Wow. I didn't get anything like that. Hours of non accumulating snizzle, until about 2pm. Decent rates until about 330. Picked up about an inch during that 90 min period. After that it was just pixie dust until after 10 PM. Picked up about another inch over those 7 hours. Really poor ratio snow; it was like sweeping sand. Pretty dense. Remarkable for how long it snowed, but equally for how little I got. The length of this storm (33 hours) nearly matched the '96 storm, but with vastly different results.
