Right on 0.50” total precip. 0.19” fell as rain 0.31” and 1.7” snow equals a nice 5.5:1 ratio when it was snowing. The HRRR/NAM Kuchera ratios weren’t far off. HRRR was too dry from a distance, but it nailed the front end rain and the temps.
-
Calling it at 1.7”. I’ll grab the liquid after everything stops falling. The ratios are going to be...subpar.
-
But it sure is pretty

The clumped dendrites in this last band are nuts
-
You know it has been a wet snow when your yard looks like this post-snowman. 1.5”
-
Feels like I have to go measure every half hour to make sure that I am able to report the max new snow depth. Both the HRRR and NAM take us to 40 this afternoon.
-
Both March 2013 events probably qualify.
-
Fun fact - it is snowing here, and it is 51 degrees colder at my brother’s place in Minneapolis. (33 vs -18).
-
Beautiful to watch fall and stick to everything, but the ratios must be awful. 1.5 hrs of solid snow and a touch less than an inch. 33.3
-
33.4 and snow. Unfortunately wasted about 0.2” of precip on rain.

41.7/29.3. Not great. 43/29 DCA 43/25 IAD

You new here?

DCA 43 My house 42 IAD 41

Best case might be a 3/25/13 situation. 4” paste bomb on .5-.6” precip in the western DC beltway. Never dropped below 32.8. Started during the late overnight hours which helped.
-
HRRR is pretty consistent. DPs through the whole event are 34/35 in the DC area.
-
3k has a broad swath of ~0.6” qpf. Temps in DC are 40 around the onset.
-
The HRRR continues to absolutely hate this storm.
-
I’m all for an energetic quick hitter.
-
Might as well couple it with the vertical velocity
-
-
GFS is a 3-5” storm. Seems right.
-
I have >1" QPF in 6 hours on the 3k. Right into my veins.
-
53.9 now. No snow on snow
-
We're all just ignoring the 12z HRRR, right
