  1. This is very reminiscent of the upper Plains. The footprints from earlier in the day are filled in, but it is hard to make measurements that prove that more snow fell.
  2. And down to 26.0 not long after. Not bad for mid-day on March 12th.
  3. Considering temps, wind, and snow, I think this is peak storm right now.
  4. Temp rebounded to 32.5 in the lull, but it has started snowing again.
  5. Temps started to turn down and the wind has kicked up again closer to DC. 30.7
  6. Prior owners screened in the carport. It doesn’t handle the windy snow well.
  7. Lowest vis at IAD was 1/4 mi, DCA 1/2 mile. DCA did have gusts near 50.
  8. A nice wintry scene but it isn’t going to add much to the seasonal totals
  9. I think we might have some rimed flakes mixing it still. It certainly is loud at times against the windows.
  10. Holy crap, you just blew my mind. 33.3 in Falls Church. Mulch and roofs are covered. Visibility is probably under a mile, but by no means a white-out.
  11. Its all snow here in Leesburg. I can see snow on the cam at 7/28 just north of Dulles. It is coming, I just want it faster.
  12. 0.31” rain for CoCoRaHS. 36.9 degrees. The changeover line sure moved more swiftly through MD than it is VA.
  13. Traffic cams have the change just west of Haymarket/Gainesville along 66.
  14. 5z HRRR has 0.3-0.4” precip after the changeover for many of us near 95. That number is fairly consistent across the models. A wind blown 2-3” is looking decent.
  15. 3km has about 0.4-0.5” precip from 13-19z after the changeover along 95
  16. We don’t really care about the heavy stripe to the east because that is rain. The precip max to the west is in the favored spots, so no shock. We just need to score with what we get.
  17. March 5, 2015. For no particular reason. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/capital-weather-gang/wp/2015/03/05/d-c-area-forecast-wintry-mix-changes-to-substantial-snow-record-cold-likely-to-follow/
  18. HRRR holds the temps flat all night long. It really isn’t until about 6am along 95 that we start to drop.
  19. My brother moved to the Frederick area and that section that goes down to two lanes is awful. Every trip it is the same slow spots, before the bridge on 495 to get into Maryland and after Clarksburg.
