    Not sure most will care because many probably doubted the forecast in the first place, but this a pretty big bust for. LWX. Forecast was for 4 to 6 in DC, and many parts of the city saw zero accumulation.

    All rain in downtown DC. Not even any mangled flakes mixed in.

    I lived in Baltimore in the early 2000s, and I remember a few small events back then when Baltimore would end up with 1 to 3 or even 3 to 5 inches, while very little fell in DC. Now, our fate seems more closely connected than had been the case. Maybe just coincidence since it seems like we get fewer smallish snow events in general now. But I do wonder if something else is at work.

    Baltimore City used to do o.k. even when DC failed in marginal events. I wonder if the UHI effect, due to more growth in the corridor, is playing a role, or if climate warming is pushing the fail zone farther north.

    I'd be shocked if DCA ends up reporting even a half-inch. Probably just a trace over there, which should put us well on-our-way to having a below-average season for snowfall. Normal for this point in the year is 9.8. Before today, DCA was at 3.5

    It's basically stopped in downtown DC. Just a few flakes mixed with drizzle.

    I am near downtown DC, and the only thing accumulating here is puddles of water. Some light slush building up on car tops, but even there, only on the cars that have been parked in one spot for days...

    Well, all you have to do is look at the traffic cameras. There is clearly a nasty UHL effect in the cities. Elevation seems to help in the immediate suburbs north of Washington DC, and northern part of Baltimore Beltway some, but this storm is what it is, and it's not hard to see if you just look at easily available and accurate traffic cameras https://chart.maryland.gov/trafficcameras/index.php

    Most Traffic cameras show wet and no accumulation in Baltimore too, especially inside the Beltway and even many along 695. https://www.weatherbug.com/traffic-cam/baltimore-md-21217

    You get a grip and look up the definition.

    Rain appears to be mixing back in for now in Downtown DC, as rates really have let up over past few minutes.

    So the folks Northwest who whined and complained all week, at times making this board unreadable due to the micro-aggression and in-my-backyard-only weather analysis, are the ones who are once again getting accumulating snowfall. So predictable.

    Heaviest snow of the year in Downtown D.C., and maybe heaviest in at least a few years. But still not sticking.
  14. real
    All snow in Downtown DC low-lands. No sticking yet though.

    LWX lowering totals but still expects changeover near daybreak https://twitter.com/nws_baltwash/status/1358355366212468740?s=21

    Winter Storm Watch just issued -- been a while since I've seen so many counties in the DMV all included under a Watch

    I think that was the Jan 31 storm not the Feb. 2/3 snow event. There were three events in that same week. One Sunday -- cold smoke 6 inches of snow that kept trending north. Then the warm bust midweek. And then the blizzard on Friday.
  18. real
    That storm really sucked in the city -- Forecast was for like 5 inches of snow, and think we were even under a WSW. But it really struggled to accumulate, even though the snow fell after dark. I think DC ended up with maybe 1 to 2 inches on the grass.. It was a pretty big bust, but no one cared because everyone was so distracted by the Blizzard that was on its way 2 days later.

    Finally, some good snow back in Downtown DC. It had been mix of pixie dust and sleet pellets, but now ripping fat flakes, at least for now. Roads that had stayed wet all day, now covered in white.

    Meanwhile, DC declared a “snow emergency” and is towing cars from snow routes, which will cost lots of unsuspecting people $375.

    Yea, but just 2 hours ago, some were arguing that it wasn’t even a real dry slot — just bad radar over Wear Virginia -/ and yet, here we are with dry slot already to Fairfax
  22. real
    And it certainly looks like the big dry slot is about to head into DC., within an hour or so.
  23. real
    Pretty meager snowfall rates in downtown DC. Maybe a quarter inch an hour, and that may be stretching it
  24. real
    Chuck Bell on NBC 4 just said he sees the dry slot in West Virginia, and he is "worried" that is heading to DC area and "will cut down on snow totals"
  25. real
    The weather forecaster on WUSA 9 has a snow map of 3 to 5 inches for most of the region, but just said he's not that "confident' in it, and said he may have to push his forecast up for areas south of DC because he is already getting reports of 4 inches on the ground near Charlottesville and Madison County, etc.
