IronTy Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Very light snow here, no accumulation, not even on my deck. But it looks nice and is a good end of winter event so I won't complain. It also gives me an excuse to run the wood stove. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 This event did not fail due to "warmth" in the lowlands. The cold came in right on schedule. Lack of precip at that point is the problem, and the 6z NAM kinda nailed that. Dead zone in between the better forcing to the west behind the front, and the slug of moisture that moved along/ahead of the front that was rain. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just trying to figure out where the cutoff was between areas who did very well and areas that busted In Cloverly, MD we have several inches on everything else, but the pavement is still just wet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSSN+ Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Snow rapping up here but now the winds are at their worst all day. Just brutal out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Best snow of the day here now. Small flakes but bigger than pixie. Coming down "intensely". The 1-3 forecast is a bust but might get a decent coating if a few good bands pass through. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swiscaster Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Wow, 3.5 at Dulles? Not bad. Impressive that it is 26.1 degrees at 2:24pm on March 12th. That is some cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlizzardNole Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Snow shower with wind and down to 26 in Germantown. Looks wintry with drifting in the hilly part of the yard and grass covered. The car in the driveway must be completely crusted under that snow -- might just let it melt Monday. To think I hit the wipers yesterday to wash pollen off!

Maestrobjwa Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Wow pretty good band moving through now! Large, parachuting flakes getting blown almost sideways...awesome! Now see, I think we woulda needed more of this kind of thump to get any pavement accumulation, lol Eta: by @Baltimorewx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At best I’d call it 0.25” Grew up in Roxborough...that part of the city you're in is a snow desert. Worse than DCA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxMan1 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Snowing decently here in Crofton with the backside deformation banding setting up. Before the lull, we may have gotten a quarter inch or so. Happy to hear the NW-W areas doing well. For me, this winter was more than okay, especially after a disastrous December. 10.25" on January 3rd was really all I needed. That was a great storm at a great time of the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthArlington101 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 And down to 26.0 not long after. Not bad for mid-day on March 12th.I feel like we must’ve added 0.5”+ in this last hour but not sure I could prove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AceDoc Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 About 0.5" on cars and grass, but heavy wind and snow western part of Richmond area. Roads are fine, but visibility is minimal. 32 degrees. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is very reminiscent of the upper Plains. The footprints from earlier in the day are filled in, but it is hard to make measurements that prove that more snow fell. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
09-10 analogy Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Getting this afternoon what I thought we were going to get this morning. Moderate snow with a good bit of it blowing around. Maybe even moderate-plus at times, but it's hard to tell with it blowing around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

09-10 analogy Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Streets still clear in upper NW but that certainly belies what's going on right above. This has been more than legit over the past hour or so although it's winding up now. Combo of cold, snow, and wind is as good as it's been since the biggie in 2016. Past hour, in fact, was a bit reminiscent of that Saturday afternoon. Well, except for the fact there's 1-2" maybe on the ground as opposed to 22". Someone posted earlier that, recently at least, March has been DC's second best snow month after January. Today is further confirmation of that.

Baltimorewx Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Interestingly enough back to just flurries. At least I saw a decent snowfall even if just for 15 mins. Dusting on grass, cars and mulch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
