The best part about this winter is DCA finally learned how to measure snow. Their measurements are finally close to those in the area.

Apparently IAD hired there old crew. They reported 4.9 at 1030 and reported 4.9 at 1 am.  But .5-1 inched fell between those hrs.

[LeesburgWx]

Still snowing out lol - long duration for light to mod snow. Rocking around 4”. Beautiful outside. A shame we have rain tonight and a blow torch tomorrow to wreck it

[mitchnick]

2" in Hanover with light snow continuing.

I'm out here shoveling and I'm noticing some pixie dust starting to develop. Nice mood flakes for shoveling vibes. I'm making piles in the shade so they last through the torch. If I told a normal person that I'm sure they'd think I'm nuts lol

[Eskimo Joe]

Snowing again, lightly, New Windsor, Carroll County.

[Interstate]

No shoveling here with rain and 50s tomorrow

As of now I have 3.5 inches... Which in my eyes is an overperformer.  I do not think I will get much from snow just to my west.

I have 3.5", too. 2.5" yesterday, without any clearing, so I'm sure compacted. Cleared before going to sleep and another inch this morning. I saw T. August post 3.7" so some E-W consistency.

Latest spotter reports…

Looks like the Gfs and Nam were generally overdone north of dc. Looking at a few runs leading up to the event, the euro and Canadian kept the 0.5” precip line closer to dc. Not sure of final qpf here, but I imagine it was closer to 0.3” than 0.5”.

@WxUSAF that Norrisville spotter strikes again. Reported 2.4” last night!! No way. I had 1.2 when I went to bed at 11.

I too was JUST checking what the Norrisville slantsticker reported lol!

[RevWarReenactor]

Ended with 3.3 inches in Newark Delaware. More than I expected. Finally, not a bust. 

 

Seems areas just to the south didn't do quite as well. Like Havre De Grace. My guess is around 9pm we held on to that steadier band for a bit longer. Probably made the difference. 

[weatherCCB]

Just shy of 5” here

4.8”

It’s wild. I didn’t even get to 1” until after 8, and they reported 2.4” in the 9pm hour. Just no way.

We have the identical total, which is always reassuring lol. Properly cleared I had 3.7”, with 3.4-3.5” depth currently. Very little compaction.

They reported 3.9” - just absurd and embarrassing.

[LeesburgWx]

When does the rain start?

[nw baltimore wx]

3.9” here, and 12.7” for the season. Still about 10” from climo, but better than the 9.3” average since 2016.

[ForestHillWx]

Great storm for you guys. My dad estimates 12-14”, finished with an hour of sleet/rain this morning. Pics he sent me bear it out.
