kmill14 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Heard a noise suspiciously like a transformer blow then lost power. But it came back on a minute later. Odd, since the grass barely is white. Same here. We're in Parkfairfax near Shirlington. Happened about 15 minutes ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Perfectly said, Hoo. Agree. Large flakes, but it isn't exactly pounding like you'd want for a 1-2"/hr rate (at least not at 33-34 degrees). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbj5d Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 It can't be overstated just how hard this area is to forecast and plan for. Portions of the DMA are under a foot of snow, and others are in a driving rain storm. Some have seen snow for hours and not a trace to show for it, and some are approaching 3 inches. Not only forecasters, but for groups like OPM, etc to try and come up with a single policy/decision for the area is near impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skywalker03 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Huge flakes in north Rockville, but I wouldn't call this heavy snow. Maybe moderate at best. Prob closing in on an inch? My side street is covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ger Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I feel like all of us are accustomed to receiving a long period overrunning or WAA with our KUs; and less familiar with Nor'Easter-type (e.g. moisture fetch from the Atlantic). Why?? It could be this: this area's geographic location translates to being less prone to the features of a Nor'Easter, particularly a Nor'Easter that is undergoing rapid intensification. Other places such as NYC and SNE experience this more frequently. I say this because looking at current radar, it really struck me when comparing our current radar signature to similar signatures I have seen before on NYC or SNE radar. Just a thought.

das Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 It's been snowing moderately for the last two hours and the temp is 31.4F. During that time, my snow total has gone from 1.9" to 1.9". Pretty snow but it's just not accumulating. Maybe this next moderate band will change that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Agree. Large flakes, but it isn't exactly pounding like you'd want for a 1-2"/hr rate (at least not at 33-34 degrees). 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.

NovaHoo Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I'm only not calling this heavy snow in Burke right now because, like a figure skating judge, I'm leaving room for some of those 35 dbz returns I'm seeing. Coincidentally, first snow with the Dish Network. Now I see the downside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
