:wub:  Awesome shot!  New profile pic for you?

I still have the one from last Jan per your request. This one is a similar view just a bit closer. Perhaps I will change it- it has been a year and deeper snow in this pic lol.

Driving to work this morning it felt like I was transported to the northern plains somewhere lol.

Liquid equivalents:

BWI- 0.73"

DCA- 0.81"

IAD- 0.64"

Baltimore downtown- 0.57"

Millers 4NE- 0.32"

None of the airports reached 10:1 ratios.

 

Unfortunately they just don't measure accurately .  No way they all werent at least 10:1

Quoting meteorologist MN Transplant in Falls Church, VA:

"Yeah, I only tacked on 2.5" from 7am to close yesterday on 0.33" precip.  Not even the later snow helped with the ratios (and I didn't get that much from the ULL pass, certainly not 2").

Final, 7.7" on 0.84" precip."

We thinking delays for most school districts tomorrow?

Honestly I'm expecting a lot to concede and close. Our neighborhood inside the beltway in MoCo is still completely unplowed and if MoCo has to decide based on the entire county.... I can see them deciding it is unsafe.

Yet hes likely wrong. with These slow long duration events its really hard to match snowfall vice snow depth.  I am meticulous with my board and measurements.  If you wait too long you never are able to get very good measurements. By my calcs we were around 10:1 possible 11:1

I am supervisor for lawyers road. We have been on the clock since 9am yesterday morning. 

Just saw your message now.  Thanks for what you and your team do/did for Lawyers and the surrounding neighborhoods. 

Don't want to appear ungrateful, just wonder what sort of training the road crews get on plowing?  Sad to say one or more of the plow drivers made a mess of the intersection of Lawyers and Garrett.  Plowed everything from Lawyers onto Garrett and then turned around and departed, leaving a 2'+ berm of snow all the way across Garrett - essentially closing Garrett.  I happened upon it just when the plow driver did a u-turn and departed the intersection to head back w-bound on Lawyers (white F-450).  I cleaned up the mess with my Kubota to reopen Garrett.

Fairfax is also closed. I'm a little surprised...I figured they'd have a delay but not close.

Telegraph Road is one of the few major roads in our parts that has been properly plowed, and then only minimally...roads in our subdivision got their first (single!) pass late yesterday, IF that, but at that point they were barely scraping the top layer of multiple layers of compacted snow/ice set in place Mon nite.

I'm the first one to honk if FCPS closes for the threat of a flurry, but this is the worst I've ever seen the roads around Hayfield post-snowstorm...I'll be legit shocked if FCPS doesn't close tomorrow as well.

That's crazy. Even my cul-de-sac had multiple passes with plenty of salt laid down, especially on Monday night. Everything is clear around here and I assumed that since we were among the higher totals that if we were clear then everything else should be.

I'm not mad about the schools closing. As I mentioned to mappy the other day, there are 10 days built in so it's not a huge deal, but it's pretty sad that the county hasn't been able to get things properly cleared.
