Feb 22nd/23rd "There's no way..." Storm Thread

Is this about snow or whether you ordered the code red. -

it's snow shadowed. If you don't look up elevation before you buy a house in a bowl? -

I ain't reading all that. All I know is you're not missing a big snowstorm cause his friends like you. -

might as well stay there. LWX overmeasures. you'll probably get 34" -

nobody really knows how much we got on 2/9. I don't trust anyone's measurements. -

if my bf didn't support my favorite thing in the world, he'd need to find a place to sleep for a week. -

Can someone give me like 2 sentences on what models haven't come around yet. i assume 0z Euro will be telling. I purposely avoided tracking this one fearing a Lucy, but maybe I brought good luck? -
I think sterling measures for IAD at their office and they do NOT under measure lol. so maybe it is a mistake or they were just in a bad location
-
FAA should have ceded this years ago. It's the not caring. It doesn't really matter if I got 7" or 8", but they're creating an official body of record. I don't think eyeballing it is acceptable
-
you surprised? I think i predicted 7.1" yesterday when things were looking good for 8"+. They measure on a small strip of grass right in front of Terminal A and they have a history of not really caring. They probably just stuck a ruler in the ground. They didn't get only 1.5" of sleet. Plenty of 8"+ reports nearby
-
final here 8.5". awesome storm. more memorable than most 8-10" events.
-
yeah. use 9 or 9.5.
-
my friend in piney orchard says 10.5" but he swept. might be a little high but you got over 9".
-
surprised IAD so low. They must have really crapped out in the afternoon. BWI lol. Did they start sweeping every hour again?
-
wow. i wonder if they're snow pellets?
-
Maybe we'll get a stronger southern stream in Feb-March. Wavelengths shrink, and we can get simpler storms. (feb 96 cough). Without having a deep ULL parked over the TN valley, it's tough to get a top 10 snowstorm
-
I'm going to avoid the bargaining phase of mourning our non-hecs later - "this is actually better than an 18-24 inch snowstorm!" . No it's not. But it's damn cool. Very few times have i experienced something like this
-
I guess there's a reason we don't get many 18" storms. We probably didn't apply enough climo hedging for this one. At least a few days ago. I know the "physics" are what they are, but it's like flopping a straight, where you have no chance of improving on the turn or river. you only have a chance of a rug pull
-

It's pouring sleet again after a fairly brief quasi-lull.
-
Growing up, I recall many times when IAD was 27 and Elkins WV 50. It's not super common but with some CAD events they torch
-
that's a big takeaway with this one. Moisture bomb. the amount of liquid is going to be jaw dropping in some places in the DMV.
-
where are you at most recently. over 8" yet?
