Wow, sweet stuff down there near CHO.

[Riptide]

Scattered flurries, did not expect anything though. I'd say it's an overperformer for all areas affected, aside from that nasty dry slot down in VA.

[Midlo Snow Maker]

been snowing for awhile, but just light stuff--- temp is 34 i think that wraps up this winter

Wow, sweet stuff down there near CHO.

got about 6.5" in a little over four hours. I know one hour was about 1.25, another was right at about 1", which leaves about 4.25 for an approximate two hour period.

would've loved to be home and get some inter-hour measurements during the best part of it.

Awesome bro.

Just had a 60 second heavy wind whipped grauple shower come through. Didn't see it on radar. Very convective type I suppose.

[Midlo Snow Maker]

who would of thought a MARCH clipper, with marginal temps, march sun angle with daylight snow in the palm tree south area brought 10" of snow

[mattie g]

Probably a little over 2"/hour. Just a guess...

[zwyts]

Kudos to the euro for having this like 9 days ago. Congrats to those who got snow. March 99 redux. Places in Orange County are probably over 20" for the winter. Nuts.

[orangewx]

ended up with a little over 6" in my town. but i'm seeing reports of 10" a few miles to my SW. wow!

It is kinda nutz having such a small bullseye isn't it? It will be interesting to see the MA seasonal snowfall map this year. The area that did well will be really small in comparison to the region. That combined with how large the diff is just a few miles away really tells the story of being in the right place at the right time.

relic was telling me that he has gotten 91% of seasonal from the last two storms.

It was pretty chilly aloft--- (i'm sure you know this)

[orangewx]

[orangewx]

Getting a snow shower now with big flakes. When will the blizzard warnings be hoisted?

[CoastalWx]

Goes to show you what banding can do, even in March down there. It's all about the rates.

[wxtrix]

we had snow at home, with a one hour temp drop from 42 to 33.

man thats wild,my neighbor said when he finally got his kids gloves, hats, snow pants, jacket, and boots all put on they opened the front door and all the snow was gone

[zwyts]

Flurries in DC.

[Scuddz]

More flurries!

[Logan11]

Here is the future track of the clipper......


Blizzard conditions will develop over Southeastern Newfoundland Tuesday night. Snowfall accumulations near 25 centimetres are expected by Wednesday morning with strong northerly winds gusting up to 100 km/h resulting in blowing snow with near-zero visibilities.

This is a warning that blizzard conditions with near-zero visibilities are expected or occurring in these regions. Monitor weather conditions..Listen for updated statements.

Another low pressure system currently developing just off Cape Hatteras will intensify as it tracks northeastward to pass southeast of Newfoundland early Wednesday morning. Snow associated with this low is expected to arrive along the south coast of the island Tuesday afternoon and will spread across the Avalon and east coast Tuesday evening. The snow will be heavy at times giving total accumulations near 25 cm over the Avalon and Burin peninsulas by Wednesday morning, with lesser amounts further west. In addition winds will strengthen from a northerly direction with gusts reaching up to 100 km/h overnight resulting in blowing snow and near zero visibilities.

The snow is forecast to taper to flurries across Eastern Newfoundland early Wednesday but winds will remain quite strong resulting in blowing snow and poor visibilities, especially during the first half of the day.

that's believable. currently I'm on my way to work in fredericksburg where just earlier today we were under a winter storm warning with good snowfall rates.

not a patch of snow anywhere to be found.

[MDstorm]

Flizzard in Pikesville. Heaviest snow I've seen in a while.

[TeaysValleyWV]

I still have snow in the shady areas, though it melted pretty fast on the south side. The heavier squalls this afternoon covered the bare spots a couple of times. 0.04" of additional liquid from the squalls.

[UIWWildthing]

Wife just told me there was a flizzard at home in Dundalk too. Kids are peeled to the window watching apparently.

[lester]

getting in on the mini-snow band here in temple hills, md

I actually had to leave this morning to Northern NJ so i would of missed it anyway but I am still very pissed that we missed the storm.

[Huffwx]

So close to a nice ending event...



I'm right near the 1 in the 1.5 inches just west of LYH. That's 7 miles north 4 inches.

[Coach McGuirk]

I got dry slotted then had a few rain showers mixed with flurries on the wrap around.

Maybe you're not done yet. I'm going to start looking for a coastal. I don't care if it gives me rain. Maybe the 3/25- 4/10 period will deliver. We haven't had a really good April storm since around 1915.

[Kevin Druff]

1.5" of accumulations this morning and a very pretty drive in to work.

Hey, Ji, when are you going to start canceling winter '12-'13?
