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. Dale City spotter says 10.5, burke says 9.6, im averaging out to ~10 here. Very nice storm for us! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huffwx Posted Tuesday at 01:35 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 01:35 PM 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...

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 Tuesday at 01:53 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 01:53 PM 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 Tuesday at 01:58 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 01:58 PM 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 Tuesday at 02:01 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 02:01 PM 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 Tuesday at 02:18 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 02:18 PM 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 Tuesday at 02:24 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 02:24 PM 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 Tuesday at 02:57 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 02:57 PM 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 Tuesday at 03:00 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 03:00 PM 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...

I try not to become unmoored by sightings of WB pink I am really looking forward to a good, cold snow that sticks around. Big snow pack person! Generally speaking I'm sorta 'north crew' bc of latitude but sorta..not bc of being east, low, close to bay My post above (in response to a...what are north crew thoughts/stages of grief lol) worked out pretty well in the end. Finished with 4.75", slightly higher than other sparse reports, but not inflated, one decent evening band was a help. Going to enjoy the snowcover and hope for a refresher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
