If IAD measured 3" and if my house is anywhere close to that measurement that puts me around 20" not an awful first 2 months of winter I'd say 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snjókoma Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Looking back on this semi-disaster for the inner suburbs and DC, I'l like an explanation for why my temperature plummeted from 40 to 34 from onset to just as the snow started accumulating but hasn't budged even a tenth of a degree since, despite the sun going down and bursts of moderate to heavy snow. If it had followed a linear trend I would have been at 32 or 31 like many others and probably done better, as well as downtown. But it seems like the wet bulbing or whatever just stopped at a certain point, and snow actually started to melt. Edit: I'm not surprised at the outcome in heat island hell, but it was a little frustrating as I felt like we were ahead of schedule at 4 pm and then it all went downhill. Not your usual UHI bust, where you're too warm at onset and can't cool down fast enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems the entire event came and went sooner than had been forecast. I didn’t even think it was supposed to change over in DC until 5 pm., allowing what fell to occur after sunset. Instead, entire event is over at sunset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormpc Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 1 inch. Nothing on road. Or sidewalk. A bit lame in eastern PW, but it's better than zilch. The proper folks cashed in so it feels like old times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gopper Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 back to moderate snow in Towson after a lul. Looks like this final band has really consolidated...hope it has not lost its punch.

Identical but considering we probably live less than 5 miles from each other we should be the same. Lol. One thing that is undeniably positive about this winter is the few events we've had have met or exceeded expectation. That counts cuz the MA is usually the land of disappointment 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulythegun Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Snow puddles starting to get extreme in dc. A coating of puddle on wet surfaces, not to mention the roads, which are giving way to puddling UPDATE: I can confirm that the water in downtown dc has begun to move into organized pools that can be differentiated from each other. Classic puddle signature. 3 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDweatherman Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Right around 3.5” between the morning localized bands that melted and the good stuff. It poured snow those last 2 hours that’s for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowCane Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Measured around 2" in Gaithersburg. Stunningly beautiful out there now. There's nothing like walking around while fat heavy flakes are pouring down. My expectations were so low so this turned out to be an awesome day. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthArlington101 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 My family says 1.75” in NW Arlington. Made them check the car and grass. Can anyone else confirm? Seems high, but usually they measure low. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems high, but usually they measure low. I didn't measure, but I drove up to Minor's Hill near the Williamsburg Shopping Center and it was a winter wonderland, sidewalks and side streets totally covered while around Cherrydale they were just wet. That's the highest point in Arlington (460 ft). If you live around there 1.5 or 1.75 seems reasonable. Very elevation dependent storm as others have said. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
