EastCoast NPZ Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Light rain for the past hour. at one point might have had 1.5, before the flip back to sleet then rain. Already significant melting taking place. In the end, I got exactly what I predicted I'd get, though I didnt think it'd turn into a rain storm. Crappy end to a crappy winter. I guess it is fitting.

ChangeYourScreenname Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/... Low pressure over the Carolinas will makes its way northeastward off the Virginia coast tonight. Precipitation is tapering off from west to east this evening, with the bulk of it aligned along and east of the Blue Ridge. Warmer air aloft won out this afternoon and evening with the rain/snow/sleet line shifting further northward than projected, crossing into north central Maryland and extreme northern Virginia. The 00z IAD upper air sounding measured a warm nose between 800-850mb, with a max temp of 3.4C at 825mb. The warmer air and northward shift of the mix line resulted in lower snow totals. A cold rain has prevailed to the south and east into the metros, as temperatures this evening are in the low to mid 30s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDstorm Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 After several hours of snow earlier this afternoon (leading to a whopping 1 inch), the rest of this "storm" has featured rain mixed with occasional sleet. And to think that I was under a Winter Storm Warning this morning. HUGE BUST! Dolly Parton would have been proud. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MountainGeek Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Huge bust so far out here as well --- all we got was snow TV all morning, then sleet/rain for hours with occasional bursts of heavy snow.....nothing but an icy crust on the ground. I'm starting to think the 1"/hr rates from 3PM-8PM might not be happening after all..... That warm nose was brutal and deadly. Been a long time since we've had one bust this bad out here during the actual event -- LWX had us in WSW for 4-8", models showed 6-10" with none having less than 4". 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hit low end of warning criteria and was plowable. No complaints here. Puts me at 37.0 for the season which is right at climo. Take away the 6 inches I got from the November storm and I still broke 30. That storm still was the single highest storm total this year for us up here which is pretty odd. This was the case with the October storm in 2011 however much less snow followed in that winter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is wild that the cutoff was just west of the Blue Ridge. You guys usually do well with your elevation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah this one was really weird -- I can't remember the last time Charles Town did better than we did. Maybe the angle of the precip or the BR ended up as one of the main battleground areas with the warm nose bleeding through just enough west to ruin the event for us. Normally your reports are a pretty good benchmark for what's incoming our way during events since I'm on the ridge just about due east of you. This time I was thinking you might have had one too many beers when you were posting obs.... Kids are going to be devastated to wake up tomorrow to a pile of slop after being told 4-8". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice. I was hoping for that but that last minute north jump messed it up for those of us closer to the city. A solid storm with marginal temps looks amazing on the trees. Luckily I’ll be able to ski tomorrow so it should be a very nice drive on the way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
