Short-range models have really backed off on significant totals for the last round. Looks like 3 inches max, not that I wouldn't take that, but even the area of 3 is pretty small. Most areas along 95 see mayyybe an inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpaschall Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Appears Low pressure has formed off the southern coast of SC. Coastal development looking good and hoping it follow the HRRR model or even further west to give the northern tier some love. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had 5” when I went out at 10 and we’ve probably picked up an inch since then. Nice moderate band moving through now. Great day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paleocene Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Just returned from 3 hours outside with my 5yo - winter wonderland! He's exhausted - I remember that dead leg feeling climbing the sledding hills. The neighborhood streets around here were well plowed and heavily salted, so they're fine. Death band incoming! It's been snowing without a break since 3pm yesterday. Wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUsedToHateCold Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Just measured 6", starting to see some bigger flakes mix in/nicer rates. Everything I get from this point is gravy - it looks like winter and I'm happy with that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are in a much better spot than me. Wouldn't take much of a model error combined with ratios for you to get another 3 or 4, especially looking at current radar.

Localized stuff is unpredictable. The precip is still advecting from the south. Havent even had the pivot yet. Should be a neat radar look once everything turns and gets the ne-sw orientation. I'm at 6.5" total and a clean 6" sitting on everything. If i managed another 1.5" that would be an 8" event which is 4 times what i first thought so won't here any complaining out of me 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingstonian Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 6.25" at 12:45pm in SSW Franconia/Kingstowne. Thought I was in a lull but it's just really light right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psuhoffman Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Looks like round 2 wants to fringe me too. Guess the snow gods are making up for lost time.

Right now radar looks bare to SW of DC but I gather that will fill in? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
