hstorm Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Measured 3.5” OTG this morning in Great Falls. Didn’t measure during the storm, but fair to say 4.5”-5” before compaction. Gorgeous with mood flakes falling right now. 30 degrees. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
300 square feet Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Light snow again in Reston with the wraparound band. Looks like 2.5-3” on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EstorilM Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Got an inch south of Leesburg - marginal temps in a storm like this will always disappoint. I'm kinda impressed LWX bit onto the models too and had like 5-8 here lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nomz Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Somehow still snowing in Georgetown. Area of weak radar returns to our west, and winds are blowing out of the west, so I guess it makes some sense? Literally zero accumulation from the whole event in the square I see out my window. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowfan Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 The localized nature of the enhanced banding was evident on the drive to work. An inch + more in suitland than at my place, which is very unusual. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavy_wx Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Measured just over 2" of snow depth on my car in North Bethesda. There's still some light snow coming down but I don't expect any more measurable accumulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nomz Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Just now, Maestrobjwa said: Right, lol And people told me and others to stop talking about Nina stuff when it literally drove the boat. Miller B too late. There's no more "lower shore sadness". 3 blizzards in 10 years while we get scraps ain't struggling. I made this thread saying "There's no way..." and sure enough it happened....smh But we should never believe a setup like this will ever do anymore than it did today--no matter what the models say. Terrible. Do you think storms magically move east because "its a nina" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestrobjwa Posted February 23 Author Share Posted February 23 2 minutes ago, Nomz said: Do you think storms magically move east because "its a nina" No it's because coastals in Ninas simply develop too late because they're NS driven. Nina=dominant NS. That's why 1996 was once in a generation because the anomalous blocking pushed it so far south that it bombed out in time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Final reports TBD, but broadly across the metro corridor and central MD, looks more like a "slight" bust than a major one. Most of the original WSW areas did barely verify. Eastern HoCo and BWI area (i.e., me) clearly got stuck betwixt and between, which I was sorta worried about. DCA stunk because DCA had like a high of 54 yesterday or something probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthArlington101 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 4.5” with some some flurriesDayum. Probably gonna go with 4” for my corner of Arlington since I think you got a better hit fromthe overnight stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattie g Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 We were supposed to take off from DCA 45 minutes ago, but we’ve had to wait to be de-iced due to the less than an inch they got here. Meanwhile, my family is spamming me with reports and videos about the storm in South Jersey. Yay! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never believed 5-10! Yup, I definitely said "no way" on what, Friday? Not a chance it meets criteria - advisory seemed appropriate factoring in temps. I mean the MODELS showed 5-8" of snow possibly falling out of the sky, but we've been through this a million times. The only element of this storm that surprised me (for my area) was just how many of the mets seemed to buy into the model hype without taking a step back for a moment. Then again, you get into even a 2 degree difference and I guess it's a slightly different story, but ground temps were warm too - AND that band never really set up through northern-western Loudoun regardless, so I don't think we even had the QPF there after the 3-4pm (brief) thump; that was the end of the real event for me (which was not how it was supposed to play out, nor what the WSW had either.)

SnowtoRain Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 The Eastern shore had a steep gradient. My forecast was 10 to 15" ended up with 5.5". Just to my east CAPE land down to Denton had 8 to 10" then most of Delaware to the beaches had 12 to 20". A lot of trees down in DE and Lowe shore of MD.

Looks like the models were too far west with the qpf, meaning the SLP capture took a bit longer than originally thought. Those kinds of details are tough to nail down, as are meso banding structures. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomz Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 MD Mesonet snow depths. Literally every mile mattered. Some spots out east you probably picked up an inch a mile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
