Scoring depends on which version of the map it was!! That was my super secret triple dog dare version. I would have posted it sooner but I had to wait for the fire department to get it unstuck. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use it all the time to corroborate. I was sound asleep during the heaviest and woke up a bit late after wind kicked up. Got a bunch of measurements between 3.8 - 4.3. I'll go with 4". Right in the pocket of all surrounding obs. 9.5" in a week in mid Jan with decent temps is rare AF and I very much appreciate the anomaly. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormfly Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 If you really want to know how much snow you got, yes you need a ruler and take several measurements! What looks like a solid 5" here turned out to be less as seen here: I went around and took several measurements. This area doesn't get sun and is in a decent wind shadow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIC_WX Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 11/6 Swanton. Windy AF, in the negative single digits consistently. Upslope cranking with the sun trying to shine through. We did not hit the high end totals here but too windy to be confident in any measurement. I am estimating around 6". No doubt much heavier totals close by in WV, this was their event if you ask me. Bonus, for the first time all season it feels like legit deep winter here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ole Bucket Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Fingers crossed it stays below freezing all day. Gorgeous bluebird conditions. Sunny, 2 inches of fresh powder, barely a breath of wind. A nice change from our Florida vacation. And quite glad no new trees down or power/road problems after seeing absolute carnage on I-64 on the way into town yesterday. Kids are loving it out there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But thank goodness for outdoor gigs. Usually don't look fwd to winter passing, but. end banter 3.25" here. Great event. Technically snow on snow but there wasn't much remaining of the previous 3" snowfall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattie g Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 2 hours ago, MN Transplant said: 2.8” new on 0.20” precip in Falls Church, so good ratios. I’ll push back on some of the model commentary. At least around here, the GFS had way too much precipitation. The HRRR was more realistic except for a few runs last night that went too dry. The NAM and Euro were the best on QPF in the DC area. I rode the GFS train to frowntown, but if I'm being honest, I'm OK with 2.75" after going over 9" on Monday. 12" on the season at the end of the first week of January isn't shabby at all! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow on snow, dude. Covered up some bare spots and it will stay a little longer with temps today. One week in Jan and a foot of snow? Hell yes. Given the last couple years? F*ck yeah. This week beats my last two years COMBINED!!! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always assume a little compaction if we get snow overnight and it's at least a couple hours until I can measure. I usually wait until I see other measurements from close by and see if they're in line with mine on the margins. I'm obviously not a spotter or anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not complaining - just that I rode the GFS hard and really wanted it to verify. As it is, I'll absolutely take a foot of snow in one week in the beginning of January. as you said...this is better than anything we've had in the last couple years, and honestly it's about as wintry as we can expect for an extended period around here! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aldie 22 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Just went out for a walk, pretty interesting snow depth difference from grass to pavement.

We were fortunate to be able to perform all of our regular venues outdoors with the tent set-ups. We squeezed a gig in last night :) I just finished clearing 4” of powder from my driveway- so much easier from the slop we dealt with last year.

At least here in Takoma Park it was in the low 40s yesterday and I don’t think it dropped to freezing until around when the snow started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Balti Zen might have done better at his old place with this one? Can confirm. Just barely south of Towson and I had 4 inches exactly just before I went to bed at 3:25am as the death band was starting to wind down. It looks like we got another 30 min-1h of fairly good rates after that so 4.5 is what I think we have outside here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About half as much on them this morning as was on elevated surfaces. My guess is the marginal temps at the start and the filtered sun they absorbed during the day. It surprised me.

Noticed it stuck everywhere early on except in the streets. Probably the roads had warmed up as air temps were above freezing during the day.
