NorthArlington101 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Still snowing lightly. Deathband had best flakes of the day but rates weren't all that special. 3 in most places in my yard, and the two houses next to me. Even found two 4", but those are isolated compared to the multiple 3-3.1". Even the few spots on the sidewalk that got accumulations have 2".

Grothar of Herndon Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Biggest flakes of the day. Moderate SN and 32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceFrederickWx Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 You think you're done? Supposedly we're not? The winter weather advisory is still up in Calvert. The temps gonna have to come down for starters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ji Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Latest rap says precip hole is mostly closed by 4pm and going good again by 5. I have my usual 1.5 mile walk from my Tysons office to the bus station. Cant wait--it starts at 5:10pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capitalweather Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 cwg just said dry slot was coming lol and next band is this evening That's accurate and a reasonable statement... Snow has stopped in DC and is pushing outside Beltway. Dry slot may not get to you, but will cutoff snow for most of immediate metro area for an hour or so, before band pivots back.

needbiggerboat Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Also, DC is a record for the day. Dulles is 0.1" behind the record from last year. With the last 30 minutes of pillows and what may come later, surely a lock for IAD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ole Bucket Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 WWA dropped here. Which is weird since it's coming down pretty hard still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 You can see the dry slot starting to pivot right over DC.. screwage in progress Think it's still backing a little. HRRR collapses it back east around 5 or so. The sfc may be too messed up at this pt.. need more deathband. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PivotPoint Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 DCA lost a degree! Dulles might be in the sweet zone for the pivot. Could you please give a very brief description on how you're determining the placement? I need to accumulate knowledge... After all it's my name Been snowing steady all day in Tysons -- huge flakes now and ripping. Almost 3" on flats shaded areas. 2" compacted in sun area. Not bad...

Not bad... kind of just a guess based on how it's moving now and how models move it in the future. it may back past dulles.. but somewhere in there it should go more n/s then pull back east.

aldie 22 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I've said it for years...pivots and deform bands love leesburg...great location as we are generally not too far west to miss and not too east to be warm.

Bob Chill Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 rap doesn't seem to have a great handle on the gap so not sure it's necessarily the best ahead. Rap broad brushes sim radar. You kinda have to mentally fill in reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mappy Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I was at 49.75" coming into today. When I left my house at 11:30, we were just shy of 2 inches. I'm going to have to convince my wife to send my 5-year old out with a ruler to get some more measurements while I'm at the office... Just like I need to teach my mother in law to do the same Be sure to update me later with your total, don't have you in my snow list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Believe me, I hope you're right! Would be a nice end to a great winter. I'm not sure how much your area will get. Will depend on very small features. My point was mostly aimed at the fact that snow will fall again in your area. Could be good for a couple hours easy.

Nice. Thanks. I especially like the apart about the n/s evolution. Looks like an area of the precip separation between the two waves propagating NW... Should we accept that main blulk of moisture to our SE to continue gaining anymore ground this way? http://synoptic.envsci.rutgers.edu/site/radimg/anim_nerc.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
