Stovepipe Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Ended up with about an inch here in Knoxville. Still coming down lightly but probably done soon. This event brings the winter up to a solid B for me, considering the regime we've been in for the past 15 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disc Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Maybe an 1/2" to 1" IMBY. Not sure what the official measurements are yet, but I know areas outside of the city did better than me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poimen Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 Obs out of Richmond are pretty crazy. Heavy snow on the west side with rain in the city. Yeah, the radar is pretty cool to boot. It almost looks as if the eye of a hurricane is spinning just SE of RIC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justicebork Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Hearing that snow is starting to stick in Chester, VA. We've closed our office up there today. Our GM up there said the roads are already a mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superjames1992 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Oooh, mostly cloudy with 43 mph wind gust at GSO last hour. /golfclap It sounds like a wind tunnel out there. Congratulations to those seeing snow! It sounds like the Mid-Atlantic is tricky this morning. Some areas have seen a foot of snow, others are drowning in rain. Crazy stuff.

GaWx Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Hmmmmm....FFC has just issued a Winter Storm Warning for several counties about 20 minutes from me.......it's currently sunny outside and not one speck on the radar anywhere. There are some isolated flurries here and there. Am I missing something???? ...WINTER STORM WARNING IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 PM EST THIS EVENING...THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN PEACHTREE CITY HAS ISSUED AWINTER STORM WARNING FOR HEAVY SNOW...WHICH IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 7PM EST THIS EVENING. THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IS NO LONGER INEFFECT. They've been way too lenient imo this season on issuing WSW's. They've gone so much to the opposite extreme that I can't take a WSW all that seriously from FFC anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poimen Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 well, the wind is definitely becoming a big deal outside my house. March is roaring like a lion for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCMetroWinston Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Total bust thus far here in DC. Half inch of slush is melting with very little falling right now. Meanwhile, in far western exurbs, totals are impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isopycnic Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 still getting the occasional flurry/flake up here in northern orange county. Was a moderate flizzard around 10-12pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the WSW for north Georgia may have set the record for the shortest lived WSW ever.....I think it may have been in effect for about 3 hours. Still extremely windy here but most of the flurries have gone by the wayside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Epic FAIL for DC. The Mid-Atlantic meltdowns are ongoing. DC scaled back to 1-2". Cantore was at the National Mall standing on bare ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cantore was at the National Mall standing on bare ground. The GFS wins again. I'm pretty sure it progged some severe issues with BL temps, even while the rest of the modeling had trended colder at the surface. I'd be in full meltdown mode if I was in DC right now. I'd much rather have the storm ripped out from under me 3+ days out than what they are going through. The worst thing is that most meteorologists were upping totals right at the last minute! Of course, areas to the west of the city did well, but even Charlottesville has changed over to light rain right at the tail end after precip rates lightened.

Yes although I was in this boat with last month's event and of course 1/17 busted here as well but this one is a lot more epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnweathernut Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I don't know if Ji is standing on bare ground or not, but if he is, it serves him right. I bit my tongue when he came in here the other day trolling us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well technically yes, but some of the suburbs in Fairfax/Loudoun/Prince William did get up to 7 inches or so and of course west of the Blue Ridge they got hammered. My sister in Cross Junction had 14 inches. Parts of Augusta and Rockingham counties got up to 20 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just goes to show you the models can give you a general idea of the potential that's there, but the weather is just going to do what it's going to do.

Jet Stream Rider Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I am somewhat impressed with the GFS, I think it showed that bit of snow we saw this morning and up around the border counties as well. It pegged the basics pretty well from a fair way out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beanskip Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 DT is twisted up in so many knots -- last night he apologized for his bust, now he's claiming credit for being right before he was wrong. And, of course, defending the Euro to the dozen or so lemmings still lapping up his all caps rantings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teru Teru Bozu Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 LOL. Oddly enough, I think I saw that Mecklenburg Co., VA (where South Hill is) delayed or cancelled school today. That might have been a close call, but maybe they ended up jinxing their snow chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isopycnic Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Still getting flurries up here at work. Just an observation but... 90% of my snow this winter has been with temps above freezing. Sometimes like 10f above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
