aldie 22 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 This pickup is a bit of a surprise one of the benefits of not checking radar and ignoring Ji 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terpeast Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Had a great time with my daughter in whiteout conditions! I measured 1.5” when we first went out, but the death band dropped another inch on top! Streets had 2” of slush and heavily compacted cement, and it was harder than shoveling 6-7” of powder. On grass and old snow, there was 3” of new snow! I may split the difference and send in 2.5” as my spotter report. But radar says we’re not done yet. Maybe round me up to 3” official? 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlizzardNole Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Done in Germantown with about 1.5 which is pretty disappointing compared to the 3-5 forecasted. Looks wintry though and the freeze up begins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nj2va Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 After a bit of a lull with flurries, things picking back up - small flakes but intensity increasing. Down to 15.8 and winds picking up. A bit over 8” 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the drive back from the catoctins there definitely seemed to be a fall off in snow amounts just past ashburn on I-15, glad you managed to get into that. Personally got to. .75 without the ending bands accounted for yet, hoping to clinch an inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would've been an easy 4, maybe 5, if not for the loss of early qpf on meltage. I said yesterday I'd be shocked if I got 2". I can't be anything else but satisfied. It's enough to survive the wind and sublimation to come. It looks like and will feel like deep winter for a few days. I don’t believe it, are you sure you measured with a ruler?.

09-10 analogy Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Just shoveled so I don't have to deal with mini-cordilleras of ice post-pedestrian beatdown. Eyeballing under an inch but prolly more than a half-inch. But I suck at judging things like that so who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrisburg got rocked Yeah it’s funny cause they backed off that at the last minute, but would’ve been right if they kept it! Then the RGEM showed a very wrong 7 inch band over 95 lol.

SomeguyfromTakomaPark Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Ok so the Euro AI got smacked around by the Canadians. I will remember this…consistency doesn’t necessarily mean correct. I don’t have a liquid equivalent measurement but I’m guessing I had like like .15 when that model was showing 0.4 for DC consistently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be inclined to agree with you on this assessment, given that we got an eventual .6" here within the last hour (vs. the 1-3" predicted 24 hours ago). But while I like to LOOK at the snow, I don't like to clean it up anymore...so I'm good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
