DDweatherman Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Pic taken through the window this morning of some deep winter. Not the storm we hoped for up here, but about 4” total. Chilly this morning 18 degrees. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 9.3" total That represents the most I measured otg and not what actually fell had I measured properly. I couldn't be bothered yesterday lol. Might have been another inch but whatever. Plenty of snow. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Nice to have frozen ground preceding the storm. No snow eating from below. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 One more I took yesterday afternoon doing a Jeb walk to the back edge of the property. Just for you @nj2va 19 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 A weenie in Burke reported 9.6". I guess it could have happened, especially if I had some compaction once the sleet started yesterday. Since I didn't measure until well after that flip, I may have shorted myself. Curious to see if other nearby spotters report similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxdude64 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 LOL, walked ON TOP of the snow to do the CoCoRaHS report this morning, which I had to chisel through to get the SWE. Had light freezing rain/drizzle and sleet yesterday morning which froze solid once temps started dropping in afternoon. This stuff will be around a while, currently 5 inches on the ground, 18.3/11.0. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huffwx Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 About. 2.5 snow and sleet in Forest, VA then tons of ZR.. had a departing snow shower late afternoon. Would have preferred snow but the trees look phenomenal. Pics not catching the full glimmer from the sun.. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terpeast Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 7 hours ago, Deck Pic said: DCA - 7.2" BWI - 6.6" IAD - 5.1"? That may have to be adjusted? Did they pick up no snow after 7 pm? Yeah that can't be right. IAD should be around 6" unless they got shafted between the ULL bands, which I seriously doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interstate Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 I think the model snowfall maps were pretty good as long as you used the 10:1 and not the Kuchera. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They obviously messed up.. we had 6 inches by 9am.. picked up another .5 before 2 round.. and got almost another 2 inches.. with compaction at 9 PM I was at 7+ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TowsonTownT Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Final tally of 5.3 in my Towson backyard. Not quite what we were hoping for but look on the bright side, this stuff is here to stay! I take 5 inches that lasts weeks over 8 that melts in days in a heartbeat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paleocene Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Final tally (after some compaction in the afternoon) was about 7" in my yard. That's averaged across several spots at 8am today. I cleared the driveway around 4pm yesterday and there was probably another 1-1.5" on there, but it had blown around a bit so hard to get an accurate measurement. That's near downtown Silver Spring.

There was definitely a dead zone in Loudoun i flirted with it a few times throughout the day. 5.1 seems low but probably not too far off honestly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, it was a bummer when we pinged, but there was frozen falling for almost the whole day and then we did pretty well with the ULL. No complaints! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katabatic Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 I received 8" from the storm itself (thank you, ULL) and since then, steady upslope snow since about 8 PM last night added another 3.5" so just shy of a foot. Fluffy stuff as temps are bouncing between 14-15. Visibilities this morning have been under a mile, so this is turning out to be a fairly significant upslope event as well. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowGolfBro Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 There is going to be a fair amount of melting today and a hard freeze tonight. I bet a lot of school districts throw in the towel. 2 hour delay guaranteed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87storms Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Looks like only a coating was added from the ull imby near DT Frederick. Basically 3" and some change, so i was a little surprised by some of the measurements closer to 5" coming out of Frederick County. This can be sugarcoated, but it was a bit of a bust up here. Could barely even see the flakes during the overnight period and hardly snowed during the day lol. With that said, there was a pleasant, effortlessness to this snow. Once it started, it required no work. I just woke up yesterday to snow, and I was able to get in a nice walk (during one of the times there was clearly still light snow falling). Felt very wintry even with 3" and, honestly, there's something to be said about the roads being already cleared (or so it seems). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmk Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 held at around 8.25" in Gainesville. Overall pleased even before the second round (6.5" prior). Best show for me was around 3-4AM Monday in the first thump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
