About 30 min before the first flake I remember someone posted “2.8 inches of QPF!!!!! I see it but I can’t believe it”. And then it happened. And I was hooked. Reading JB leading up to March 2001 is what really reeled me in. Even though it was a total bust 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should push 6-8” I imagine up at your lat and elevation. If the coastal gets going, you could definitely push 8” imo. Let’s hope! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sliver of yellow running through Nrn FFCO and Eastern Loudoun is likely not wide enough. We're approaching 5 here NW of Vienna and reports from Reston & Great Falls appear similar. Hope the banding that is filling in from down by Warrenton and Luray continues. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring it home. I would say we had a little over 4 inches in Pasadena (21122). After compaction and sun angle...closer to 3 inches, more or less.
