StudentOfClimatology Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 That might have been convective like with me. Snowing big and soft flakes, gets windy, snow becomes icy and winds did swirl, big clumps of snow on trees,etc flying around. Then calm again and back to snow with big soft flakes. Definitely. My wind swung around to the SE and started roaring through the big trees as the band passed, now totally calm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kay Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Dare I say, +SN even here in northern MD. I think you could dare say. Definitely has shaped up here. Tragic that I must sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherCCB Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Snowing hard again. I'm thinking 12-1 ratios. Piling up really nicely . Going out to measure again soon. Looks close to 7.5"- 8" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hosj III Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Snowing hard again. I'm thinking 12-1 ratios. Piling up really nicely . Going out to measure again soon. Looks close to 7.5"- 8" Just measured here 7.9. With the heavy rates for the last 15 minutes, will call it 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Wow, nice steady mod snow again. If I posted a wag 24 hours ago that I expected 7" by 2am I would have been pink tagged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I posted a wag 24 hours ago that I expected 7" by 2am I would have been pink tagged Radar looks good for a few more hrs... then we get the hit and miss stuff looks like ~5-6am?

Jebman Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I think my conservative thoughts right now have a lot to do with being basically shocked I have 6.5 before 2am. Looks like another yellow blob has its sights on Rockville so maybe this is just one of those overperformers that won't let up. Ratios are way higher than any of us thought. I'll be interested in liquid totals tomorrow. That has a good bit to dp with the higher than expected totals. Appreciate the compliments. It's been a super fun year. It's nice to know that my weenie analysis is sound. I probably post more confidently than I feel most of the time You are no weenie. You need a red met tag seriously. Your meteorological knowledge is sound. In addition, you meet the know, likeability and trust parameters. If you were to blog you could develop one kick 8ss audience in the winter weather niche.

StudentOfClimatology Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 The gf thinks I'm nuts because I'm "fascinated by frozen water falling from the sky". I think that's the que for me to hit the hay. Gnite guys. I'll probably be back though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ltrain Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I bet Wes will be surprised by the totals. He seemed to be downplaying it but for good reasons. I told people it wouldn't be a big deal. It's really not, just more then I expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I bet Wes will be surprised by the totals. He seemed to be downplaying it but for good reasons. I told people it wouldn't be a big deal. It's really not, just more then I expected. No question he will be. As a whole CWG was pretty unanimous in the low totals, which makes it more surprising in the boom. I worried yesterday but honestly Jason and Wes have about as good a record as you can find around here forecasting snow.. and when you back it up with the rest of the team... heh, I dunno. Oops. Was definitely clear as it started we were in trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebman Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 26 degrees, snow and 5 inches. I wonder if I can reach 6? Man this storm is unbelievable. These kinds of totals belong in mid January and it is March 17. In terms of seasonal snow totals this winter ranks right up there with 2002-2003 in Dale City Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we were all right to be cautious given climatology, the fact its March, and that we dont do this type of snow very often around here. We were semi-burned in 3/3 with the bad ratios and dry air and the beginning of that storm was rain/sleet. MOS played a role too, as we thought that the models were too cold with the raw temps. Its understandable CWG went low. Most times this year, they have been pretty good. Everything just seemed to come together just right for us with this storm. Maybe its a new leaf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dailylurker Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I'm up to nearly 6". I've received about a inch in the past 25 minutes or so. Had a nice band set up over my area. My goal is 8". I think I may get there. Radar is stacking. The leprechaun storm is magically delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
