Deck Pic Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 The ULL is just about to pass our longitude and the sfc low will move NW and wrap in the next couple hours...the 925/850 lows are past us, so we should crash in the mid levels...I wouldnt give up yet...it is only 9:30...we are going to get heavier steadier snow in a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonderdog Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 CBS' new accumulation map still has 6-9" for immediate DC area. with 0" on the ground right now, it should be some fun later if it holds true. Don't hold your breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeminoleSullivan Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 What I find interesting for those of us who are experiencing Rainstorm Saturn right now is that in order for many of us to hit warning level criteria, we're going to have to pick up the pace... but it's more than that. We have to overcome wet ground, among other things. This wouldn't be too big a problem if the soil wasn't saturated to the point of ponding. So we now have to lose probably .3-.4 in QPF to overcome the wet grass and the warmer ground. If you take ice shavings and shove them into a planter filled with damp soil, you'll sorta see what I mean. So, provided my estiguesses are correct, for the Baltimore area we have another ~1.0 QPF on the way. We still have a shot at a 4-6" storm but we've got to get a move on.

MN Transplant Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Every once in a while it really batters us, but it lets up just enough to bring the rates down to a manageable level for the March sun. Radar is looking good back into Maryland, though. I think it has even intensified in the past 10 minutes. Instead of wafting around filling the air, the big flakes are now falling more or less vertically. The next batch as it crosses the river should be good. Still 33.5, and dripping off the trees is kind of sad during a snowstorm. And what's happening in MD sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dallen7908 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Ground still white from overnight snow/sleet; however, temperature has been rising all morning and is now 36.5. Light rain. Still confident I'll get first one inch snowfall of season (I've been so close a couple of times this year). Question: Hopefully, this won't be an issue but ... Can I add last night's 0.5" (that is now melting due to rain and T) to this afternoon's 0.7" and count it as 1" snow fall or would that be two 0.5" snow falls?
