Very fine flakes falling but still coming down pretty hard. Eclipsing 6' at the moment. You forgot an apostrophe, lol 6 feet is an insane cut-off 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted Monday at 03:32 PM Share Posted Monday at 03:32 PM 5.5" total. 0.2" last 1.25 hours. Very light snizzle right now. Temp up to 25. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given my curse and that I am moving in March, maybe I will go near you and end snow for all-time in Burke. It's a nice town with lots of different housing options. Plenty of activities in town and nearby, great schools, and plenty of food options! We get snow, too. Not a ton, but enough to usually keep me from going off the edge. Like today. Today is nice.

DCWeatherGuy Posted Monday at 03:34 PM Share Posted Monday at 03:34 PM About 5.5 inches down here in Bethesda just a mile or so across the DC border. Was just outside with the kids for the last hour and saw everything from fine pixie dust snow, to sleet, to fat flakes, to nice moderate/heavy snow over the course of that time. Fun wintery day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference between max totals and lower end depends on getting under the yellow. I've been on a heater and keep lining them up. That's happening here now. 1.5" in the last hour. Right at 7" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best part is no drip drip as we get into the late morning. 25 degrees in Aldie Exactly. No real accumulation, but just having some snow fall and no dripping is quite nice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDweatherman Posted Monday at 03:36 PM Share Posted Monday at 03:36 PM Anyone that entrusts in the long range HRRR doesn't see what its capable of in the convective season. I've seen it wrong by a lot at hour 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmlwx Posted Monday at 03:37 PM Share Posted Monday at 03:37 PM Looks like around 5.2" for the total so far in Colesville. told coworker originally 3-6 and then 4-8. Then last night I bumped up to 5-10 with isolated higher. Kind of wishing i had stuck in my original range. It'll still "hit" but let's see what the PM stuff can do.

GATECH Posted Monday at 03:38 PM Share Posted Monday at 03:38 PM This band along the Potomac is se Fairfax county is legit…puking snow. 7.5”. Another 10 minutes of this and I will be at 8” for sure! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my first time making it outside today, so there may have been a little compaction as well. Hoping to squeeze another inch out of the first part of the storm and then get another 2 inches tonight to top double digits 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen it wrong by a lot at hour 3 HRRR is better than probably any other operational model at nailing bow echo/MCS structure and propagation after these things have already initiated. It's pretty much what it was designed for and the way it assimilates radar reflectivity is very different from models like the NAM or globals for that matter. It has a wheelhouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has a wheelhouse I'd agree with this very much. That's its actual purpose. It's a mesoscale focused model thru and thru. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87storms Posted Monday at 03:44 PM Share Posted Monday at 03:44 PM HRRR is fed in part by radar trends. Watch it start to look better once the remaining energy enters the region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
