Ji Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 this is what I said on facebook saturday when i was thinking of upping the totals based on the gfs run. As zwyts said...just ignore the american models...use the euro 100% of the time. You will bust but for the most part you will be right Well the American model Gfs is very snowy and the European model has less snow due to lack of precip. I think I'll stick to 1-3 inches. The American model has 6-8 for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ji Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 Where was LWX getting 4" over Loudoun coubnty? We're they expecting 20:1 ratios? western loudoun has elevation. I have seen 4-6 there when ive gotten 1-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snownut Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 western loudoun has elevation. I have seen 4-6 there when ive gotten 1-2 I think the western LC line near FEMA Mount Weather runs from 1500-1850' so it definitely makes a difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 western loudoun has elevation. I have seen 4-6 there when ive gotten 1-2 I know that but LWX had almost the whole county under 2-4 and there were abundant precip issues even west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs.J Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 33 out had some light "dandruff" flying around while out and about this morning. Did see a couple of cars with a dusting of snow driving around. Must have come down from the Catoctins. Just put down some early spring fertilizer to take advantage of the rain and my fingers are numb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Radar in eastern OH and WV looks pretty healthy. Few lightning strikes even. Parkersburg, WV reporting a thunderstorm with a temp of 40F. Some 4-ball rain reports too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ji Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 I am convinced that Linden is the best place to chase in Northern Virginia. They have a different climate up there.

I have friend who lives there who got 23 inches on March 6 and 8 or so inches yesterday Totally agree - for some reason, Linden often seems to do better than areas both east and west of there. After the Mar 6 storm, they had way more snow on the ground than Front Royal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clueless Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 western loudoun has elevation. I have seen 4-6 there when ive gotten 1-2 I normally get more with my elevation. This morning was 1.5. LWX still busted high on this one. But I don't want to beat them up on this. It is a March meh event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the Mar 6 storm, they had way more snow on the ground than Front Royal. Linden has elevation over Front Royal, especially if you go off the beaten paths. It's always a few degrees colder and usually wetter. If you ever want to see how drastically weather can change in a short time/distance then go up to the top of High Knob some time.

MN Transplant Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 It was snowing pretty good when I left home at around 6:40 this morning. Mulch was white and it was sticking nicely. Based on reports, it sounds like I probably got close to .5". Barely a flurry at work. Rockin' March. 0.5" is what is going in my book. A little better than a car-topper, but another sad event. Just like a couple of weeks ago, snow on the ground really tailed off just to my east. what did the euro give us?...the GFS is terrible.... I really doubt I had more than 0.10" liquid, so the euro was high and the american models were stupid high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
