Feb 11-13: Nowcast/Obs

[Miss Pixee]

~6". No complaints at all.  It's loverly out there...a thick white snuggle blanket. My neighbor's tree of fat blue jays are all snug as a bug in a rug. Birds were everywhere 3 days before the storm 'stocking up; then disappeared. They knew a storm was coming.

What a beautiful night in the beltway!  I just wish our northern crew was able to get in on the goods.  

We suffered for years especially east of the fall line, I love that we’re cashing in.

3.75ish here in Gaithersburg. Picked up 3 from 5-8, been really light from 8-now.

The fringe is real 

Ah so since the event is starting to wind down we fringites can be road salty without judgement? Cool 

That being said...just measured 3" even. Just snuck under the miderate bands earlier in the evening. Nice consolation prize...

[Amped]

DCA jackpot?

[Dendritious]

Stuck in that infernal Dulles Greenway Snow Hole. Measuring a scant 3 inches IMBY near the LoCo/FxCo line. Been nothing but pixie dust for hours. Hope it picks up on the back end. 30/27

Yeah, it’s another good storm. Going to be close to or over 19” for the year after this one.

Send me some beer and I’ll send you 2” of snow

8.0" , 30.2 in Easton, still steady snow

[NorthArlington101]

Right at 6” at 11:00pm… maybe managing .33”/hr. Could plausibly get to 7”.

It appears rt 50 is the dividing line.

Dang you're even closer to the imaginary line, lol

I know I’m doing better than you right now but is a bit frustrating knowing that some of my friends going to the same high school as me have 2+ more inches on the ground right now and have no idea what’s happening. At least it’ll help close down fcps 

[weatherkyle]

29, -SN, 5.8" as of 11 pm here in NW DC

[DanTheMan]

6.5” the average measurement in my yard, could maybe squeak 7” accounting for compaction. Still falling at a steady clip. 

[Solution Man]

Radar really looking good to the SW.

[mattie g]

7.25” in Burke as of 10:50 pm.

Gotta admit that this far surpassed expectations IMBY. I thought we’d do OK, but we maxed what we got on the very northern edge of the best precip and it piled up quickly once it started coming down at a decent clip.

Headed to bed hoping we can squeak out another inch, but if we don’t I’m not going to complain one bit!

[jmk]

close enough to call it 6", looks like it may be slowing down to the west.

[WVsnowlover]

Eyeballing close to 2". The roads caved around 5:30 here. Intensity has picked up and radar looks good to the west. Looks like the next hour or two will be the best rates of the storm out this way. Might be able to eek out 3-4" if I'm lucky. Congrats to everyone that's getting dumped on.

 

Location: between Charles Town & Berryville

We do back building well. Maybe another 1-3 possible. 

[WeatherQ]

Leaving Cap Region Medical Center .. 29F .. about 4.7” on the ground 

[SnowenOutThere]

4.5 inches measured on the deck, the radar looks good all the way out into west VA so hoping to wake up and measure 5in tomorrow morning. Def happy with the storm and got to spend a lot of time out with it but just wish it would’ve been a bit further northwest. 

[IUsedToHateCold]

I measured 4 inches on the nose

Same here, think we end up right around 8. Very pleased!

What are the other So MD folks seeing?  I just measured 7.1" already...wasn't expecting that by 8pm.

 

Here's 11pm

8" in Easton, sounds like 6 to 8" from Easton  to Rehoboth 

[WVclimo]

Lowest visibility of the event here now. Might actually accumulate more than 0.1” an hour for a while.  1.6” so far.
