Kay Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Tacking on .1" today. Snow transitioned to rain 10-11 a.m. producing a brief but picturesque blanket of slush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a few north and west I guess but I feel like almost nobody did If they did they've probably already melted back below it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just off the top of my head I thought of February 1987, November 1987, March 2014, March 2015 and March 2018. That is 5 examples. And if I can think of 5 just from memory I am SURE there are more. But 5 is A WHOLE LOT of something that has...."NEVER HAPPENED SINCE 1975" was I think exactly what you said. Yes...never...except the 5 times I thought of just off the top of my head. For something, 4" storms at DCA, that frankly don't happen themselves all that often. I would argue its not nearly as rare as what you lead to believe in your post. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am definitely horrible. I probably jipped myself out of an inch of snow by only clearing once and taking a total of 2 measurements. I hope I can be forgiven by those that take this way too seriously. I was too busy being in the moment and enjoying it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 34 here and cloudy. A bit melty but looks like most of it will survive. With the cold coming in tonight and tomorrow probably not much more melting until Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were wrong on their counties along I-95 with the WSW, but here and further north they went with advisories, which mostly worked out.

LWX. Forecast was for 4 to 6 in DC, and many parts of the city saw zero accumulation. The bulk of southeast washington which lies across the river says hold my beer.

Their forecast discussions also made clear that typical climo needs to be paid attention to. They caught a tough break in the area between 95 and 70/270, but that was a real time fail due to precip onset being delayed. It’s a tough call to make. Issue an advisory and it snows 6” in a few hours, that’s a much bigger problem than over estimation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winterymix Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Forecasting snow for DC that abuts the Potomac is forecasting swamp snow. Good freaking luck: swamp snow during global worming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVclimo Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Temp shot up to 41 briefly, then the wind came up and it's back down to 36. Hopefully back below freezing around sunset. Most of the 1.7" that fell this morning has melted, leaving snow depth where it started before the morning's snowfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deck Pic Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 lol dca/bwi....Also, LWX should have downgraded to WWA in immediate metro and south and east...Loudoun, maybe northern Moco, Howard.

BlizzardNole Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 1 hour ago, psuhoffman said: ...Even the 1990s...think about that one good snowstorm we had in 1997. BWI recorded 5.8" but the high that day was 38 and the low was 30 and if I recall most of the snow fell with temps right around 32 degrees... Oh I remember that one! It was in the 60s the day before and I was out and about doing errands with short sleeves. I heard WSW on the radio and laughed thinking no way. Damn if it didn't snow 7 inches in Germantown the next afternoon with the most beautiful, photogenic snow. It was the only event of that winter (and 1998 was a shutout). With this train wreck of a winter, I will treat all threats going forward with total doubt like that one. I don't care if we have a gulf baby with a perfectly placed high to the north. I am going to doubt all the way until it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mount Holly is much better than Sterling when it comes to those who live 12-15 miles across the Bay from Rock Hall up to the Elk River.

CAPE Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 No sun today so far. Cloudy and 34. Probably the highest temp of the day post snow(was 37 this morning when it was raining). Looking forward to it all freezing solid tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
