awshux Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Saw a live shot of the White House just now on Fox. Lawn is green. I am south and east (La Plata) and my lawn is white....weird..... Tell me about it - Grass was covered in Capitol Hill, got off the Metro at Farragut West by the White House (3 miles away) and completely green. Wacky.

RIC_WX Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Looks like snow confetti. Very heavy rates, probably 1-2"/hour for the time being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 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. Just eased off in between these bands, but should be back in it soon. 40-45 dbz returns should do us just fine. Agreed on the last two points. I hate dripping during snowstorms, but it's nothing to complain about in light of what's going on to the north and east. Yikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2O Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Ripping now. Hold and grow this band for 6 hours and we should verify the wsw.I'm just south of old town near the gw parkway for a kids doc appointment and it is dumping.This is still a hugely elevation dependent storm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs.J Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Snow blowing sideways up here, and has been for sometime. But it is just not sticking. Actually have a reading of 0.12" in the rain gauge. Looking at my deck the snow amount has gone down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohleary Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 ohleary, is Fort Royal VA in that mesoscale band showing up on NAM? I don't know the exact position of where I'm at.

EastCoast NPZ Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Made it to 10" before we hit a massive lull. Even had sunlight for a time. Probably spells the end of our accumulation window here, and I'm not sure that we even get another substantial band. Really got great rates from 7:30 to about 9. Picked-up 2 inches in that time period. Great storm for March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NattyBo Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 It's been snowing pretty well for the last hour here, @ 31.5, but it's not even really adding much to what I have on the grass already (1/2 inch?) It's barely sticking to the side parts of my street where people park and don't drive. The flake size isn't as big as 40 mins ago or so either.

FrederickWX Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Light snow here. It's been all snow, but the March sun angle is doing it's dirty work. Really need the heavier stuff to get in here, otherwise the battle will be lost to the sun angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlizzardNole Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Surprised to see the zones issued by LWX at 9:33 still saying 6-10" for Montgomery Co and 4-8" for Calvert where my folks live. They still have all rain there. As for here, we just have light snow with occasional moderate bursts and the 1-1.5" is just holding. It seems event the real intense echoes (yellow) are moderate at best then it goes back to just light. I have doubts we see even 4" on the grass. Streets and even sidewalks are just wet.
