I was in Manassas, VA Friday and it was 60 degrees there, so hot in the sun. Glad this could happen right after! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87storms Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago There’s pros and cons to living in arguably the worst place for snow in the mid-Atlantic. Snow is cool, but not seeing huge mounds of it into April is ok with me, and bike lanes/basketball courts will stay open. As far as precip is concerned…we did pretty well here (and Thursday, too)…which is more important in the grand scheme of drought things. The biggest issue is that it wasn’t cold enough for the daytime waa stuff. I’ve moved on…there’s better things to kvetch about lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87storms Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Actually, one thing I will kvetch about is that l still need a moderate event for the snowfall contest, so now I may have to invest in one more storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayyy Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Surrounding spotter reports and my eyeballs say at least 2 feet. Drifting makes it impossible to tell, as wind gusts hit over 60mph last night. Still snowing nicely too.30+ reports in Rhode Island and eastern Long Island. Someone in RI will hit 40”. Reports of 5-6” per hour under that band One day it will be our areas turn again. Hopefully. Incredible storm. It’s just not as sweet when it’s not IMBY and I can’t share it with my fellow degenerates 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demeter Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago I am not sure what would have just caused this, but about half an hour ago it got super windy here. The gusts were so strong it just took a large tree out in my front yard. Now it is back to calmer winds. But it was definitely crazy there for a few minutes. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hstorm Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago 4 minutes ago, WxUSAF said: Yeah how is that possible?? They were under that band for awhile Does seem low but I think the best of the band was just to the east of IAD. I am <10 miles northeast of IAD and got twice as much (3.5" on the ground this morning, which likely means ~4.5" pre-compaction . . . I didn't measure during the storm). @bnchogot similar numbers a bit east of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arlwx12 Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago In Arlington, I think elevation had some impact. Far western Arlington (about 300-350 elevation): 3.5 West of Lake Barcroft (about 250-300 elevation): 2.5 Me (about 100 feet up from DCA): about an inch and a half DCA (just about on the river): 1.0 ((Of course, when I saw the predicted temperatures, I figured DCA didn't have much of a chance. I'm a bit surprised it managed to get an inch despite not hitting 32 for an extended period until shortly before 5 am.)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terpeast Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago 14 minutes ago, WxUSAF said: Yeah how is that possible?? They were under that band for awhile Yeah seems low to me. I was on the edge of that band or just outside of it and still managed to claw my way to 2.5”. Other Ashburn reports on LWX PNS confirm this as well with 2.8” readings. I would have thought IAD would be at 3” or even more. Maybe they just stuck a ruler on the pavement after all that compaction and melting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDM Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago 13 minutes ago, WxUSAF said: Yeah how is that possible?? They were under that band for awhile Was thinking the same thing. We have right at 4" - and it's compacted/heavy paste. IAD was under the band for several hours. We lucked out here ivo Vienna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s like darts… throw enough of them and eventually you get a bullseye. And with more moisture/vapor in the air, oh man 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
