I am failing to understand this:

DCA reported 1" last year? And this ups our total how?

Corrected statement to read "hour" instead of "year"

Posted by: Camden-CapitalWeatherGang | February 10, 2010 2:16 PM


CWG, This storm is unbelievable. I predict that the schools in Montgomery

County will be closed all of next week, Feb. 15 - Feb. 19. This estimate

assumes that we don't get any more snow during the next week. However, Ihave heard reports that there's a possible storm on Tuesday. The new storm

would then close school into the beginning of the following week, starting

with Feb. 22.

Posted by: rginsburg | February 10, 2010 2:20 PM


Where's the party?

Posted by: tslats | February 10, 2010 2:21 PM


I find it amazing that those school divisions that haven't canceled for the rest

of the week are still holding on to the hope that there will be classes

tomorrow and Friday.

Posted by: mortified469 | February 10, 2010 2:23 PM


YOWZA. And that record wasn't even measured anywhere close to the warm

spot that now is DCA, right?

It's still snowing pretty good in North Arlington. It is light to moderate now,

as opposed to the blast we got all morning. All that work shoveling is beingquickly put to naught.

Posted by: BadMommy1 | February 10, 2010 2:26 PM


Snow seems to have stopped - West Springfield. For now...or for good?

I grew up in Phoenix...this breaks MY snowiest winter record.

Posted by: bikerjohn | February 10, 2010 2:27 PM


Our trash is supposed to be picked up tomorrow. I doubt it will happen, but isthere any definitive source of information on this? Can the Post please put

something on the website (or someone direct me to where it is)? We have a

lot of trash here -- a family of four homebound all these days -- and I would

hate to miss the pickup, even though bringing the cans out will be difficult.

Also, what's this about a storm Tuesday?

Old Town Alexandria update:

I just posted more photos to the slideshow of the whiteout conditions and

heavy winds we've been experiencing in Alexandria all day. At the top of thepost you'll find a nice 270 degree panoramic shot I pieced together with Pano

on my iPhone. Also, I shot another video which I've embedded at the bottom

of the post. I apologize for the audio but the wind is just too hard for the puny

little microphone ont he Flip to handle. HD version is coming as soon as

youtube processes it.

NWS is now stating 20-30 inches in their latest blizzard warning for the

Baltmore and Annapolis areas through Montgomery County.

Posted by: RandC | February 10, 2010 2:28 PM


@rginsburg

I'll defer to you and all others who have lived in the DC area for several

years+, but I just can't believe they couldn't clear the roads in time for school

to resume on Tuesday (Monday being a holiday, of course). If so, wow.

I agree that tv news coverage of the storms has been exceptionally stupid. You

You can find more intelligent commentary on this blog, and in saying that I'm

even taken into account the climate change nay-sayers and people from

Buffalo/Chicago telling people here they're overreacting.

Posted by: watchingweather | February 10, 2010 2:28 P M


Props to Pepco. In Takoma Park, the whole town used to go out in a heavy

fog. This time, most of the town is still up and running through all three

storms. And where the power is out, they've been out on the scene before the

plows.

Of course, the folks who ARE without power aren't going to agree. But once

this is over, I'd like to see figures comparing the power disruptions this time

to previous storms.

4/25

As long as they don't say "I survived the Winter of '09-'10" With nearly six

weeks to go, that would be tempting fate.

Posted by: bhirshon | February 10, 2010 2:33 PM


I'm with ya, Hoyas4Ever! (and am, btw, a hoya myself). I've got - hmm. 5

bottles of Smithwicks, some white wine, and a few bottles of Dom. Start the

party!

On a more serious note - no new snow falling down here near Mt. Vernon - I

think the only snow in the air is that coming off the trees, roofs, etc. Guess

I'd better get out there and start shoveling (again) soon.

We have intermittent sun in Charles County, but it's still blowing a lot out

there!

Posted by: FrozenTundraTransplant | February 10, 2010 2:34 PM


Awesome!! Are we really going to keep this going long enough to see 20" out

here? I hope so, but I doubt it! Anyway, it looks as if we broke the all time

record!

Old Town Alexandria update::

Yay! So far, no stupid arguments about GW or CC on this new thread. Ofcourse, people have the right to express their opinions here, but why the need

for endless, pointless arguing back and forth about it? As far as I'm

concerned, it's a political dispute anyway and not a scientific one.

I'm psyched for a t-shirt, and will be having mimosas, but not until 4.

TerpzFan sorry to hear about leaks - can you describe the type that you are

getting - key is getting snow away from the house to reduce melt and seepage

if possible

Posted by: shackleton | February 10, 2010 2:35 PM


Great scoop!! Looking forward to the tees, CWG. Time to celebrate this

historic hour by, well, going for a stroll!

BTW, Hell may also freeze over today. It looks like DCA could top IAD for

this storm.

Here in Sterling it looks like the snow is ready to leave any second but it just

keeps coming down. The radar shows it just keeps hugging Loudoun county.

This is great. I hope I get off work tomorrow as well!

Sign me up for a t-shirt! I think it's a great idea.

alc_in_NoVa--It makes sense that we're the bartenders ;)...Hoya Saxa!



Nice tongue of moderate snow sneaking back into DC from the north!



Hoyas4Ever, you said,

OPEN! What's everybody having?"

cheers! (hot chocolate and kahlua.)

Looks like to snow has almost stopped in Vienna. BUT the radar looks like we

may have more snow due to the wrap around?

snow?

It's quit snowing in Reston, at least for the moment. Just finished anotherround of shoveling. Total new on the ground is about 7 inches.

WHY won't this storm leave? We've been sitting on the edge of it for hours

and now its getting worse. I am beginning to think it is never going away -

ever.

Posted by: hereandnow1 | February 10, 2010 2:42 PM


Yes, print up the t-shirts, polish the crown.

Snowiest ever. That's a record I never thought to see broken.

The only major old snowfall record left now in the Knickerbocker storm

benchmark.

Maybe we can wait for next year on that one.

The shoveling arm needs a long vacation.

Thanks for great coverage on all these mega-snow events.

those never-to-be-broken weather statistics. How about a snow angel or two

to celebrate the new mark?

Hoyas4Ever, CWG, and the rest of us bloggers - cheers to you and yours! I

am having Bailey's & coffee. Trying not to freak out about the 20-30 inch

forecast from NWS.

Just went out to clear my walk (again) and take a walk around the

neighborhood (Parkfairfax, Alexandria). Surprised to see water running down

the street around the corner. I bet *that* will be fun to navigate later tonight!

moderate snow here in northern PG County...it's amazing to hear that it's

already sunny in parts of Loudoun and PW Counties!!

Snow looks to FINALLY be done in Ashburn.

Calvert County in southern Maryland is being pounded! Heavy snow and high

winds non-stop throughout the day. Our driveway is covered again and the

snow is already reaching the top of the snow walls we made when we dug

out. We'll easily be over a foot for this storm alone. Schools are closed the

rest of the week.

Posted by: [email protected] | February 10, 2010 2:48 PM


kathyb39 - to what forecast are you referring?



grf - nowcasting current radar while looking out the window is confusing.

Supposed to be slacking off here in Cabin John, MD but seemingly snow has

just picked up. Also last hour, somehing you don't see every day: a dust devil

made up of new fallen snow.

Farm buildings collapsing on Eastern Shore.

These stories will become commonplace in coming days. Just devastating

weather.

Let's all hope and pray that Mother Nature gives us several weeks of tranquil

weather.

I just measured 11.25" in N. Arlington at 1430 about 6 miles NW up the river

from DCA. The wind is scouring a bit off the top off of my old measuring

place, so I had to change over to a more protected area. Still quite windy with

moderate snowfall and still some good-sized flakes here.

The wind seems to be keeping the snow from accumulating any more on the

trees and wires. Hopefully we lost the weak trees over the weekend in

Snowmageddon so that the power will stay up.

7/25

I think that we can quit with the snow once we have new record. :-)

@watchingweather - I haven't had the TV on all day. I agree w/your

assessment of this site. I only found it during Snowpocalypse, but have been

addicted ever since.

Hawaiiexpat - snow here in DC is doing the same, bizarre blowing

patterns. Surreal!



hot chocolate and kahlua for walter; mimosas for watchingweather (a littleearly but we're starting to get busy). And justmike, AGREED! Only in

Washington DC does a weather forum turn into a politcal debate!



Still snowing here in Sterling.

CWG: Part of what brought me to this site a few weeks ago was some of the

technical insight that you were adding in the comments. When someone

would post a question, you would answer it. I realize that you can't answer

everything but when someone adds that the NWS changed their forecast in

Montgomery County to 20-30" it would be helpful to know why. I am

worried that the site is getting too cluttered with people talking about names

of storms and global warming.

I love the site and I think you guys do a great job. Just looking for more input

rather than waiting for the next update.

Still snowing at a reasonable clip here in Crystal City, albeit not as heavy as a

couple hours ago. Sky is definitely brightening up, and I have to think the end

is in sight. The winds are still going strong.

N. Arlington! Never seen one before, either. Just when I was thinking that it

couldn't get any stranger here...

NWS radar loop still shows snow over Alexandria til 8 p.m. Not snowing

now, so I'm wondering if this is some sort of backside virga or if the whole

thing is just moving faster than the radar projection shows.

Posted by: bodypolitic1 | February 10, 2010 2:55 PM


@GISman

In response to your request on a previous thread, you can get GIS Data

(KML at least, not sure about SHP) on the NWS website:

http://radar.weather.gov/GIS.html

Hope that helps!

Sun came out for about five minutes, wind blew around like crazy, now it's

lightly snowing again, in So Central FFX County

Posted by: labs4m3 | February 10, 2010 2:56 PM


Potomac, Potomac...how much in Potomac, my childhood home? Now I see

why NWS upped totals to 20-30" in Montgomery/Howard! These bands justkeep on comin'!

Note that the GFS 12Z model run showed such an outcome through 00Z (7

PM). From afar, this is a totally amazing event. I remember how the Jan 6-8

1996 storm had its overrunning side (with 12-15 inches) followed by an

extended back-end (another 9 or so inches of powder). But that was similar

to "Snowmageddon".

In history (when we had measurements or estimates of the flow aloft), there

has never been an event for DC/Balt quite like this! Just goes to show that like

the proverbial snowflake, no two weather systems are totally alike...analogues

only carry so far.

But, as I've posted earlier, the 2010 versions of the models did a fantastic jobpinpointing this event, with liquid equivalent forecasts in the 0.75 to 1.5 range,

which, including the hard to measure powder, made the 10-20 DC metro, 16-

24 north central/northeast MD forecasts plausible.

The hard part begins tomorrow. Hopefully people continue to work together

to stay safe, as seems to have been the case so far this winter.

1. Definitely count me as in the line for a shirt when snow is done. For the

winter. If we actually have the snowiest ever. Especially at DCA, sheesh. :)

2. Sun is peeking out in South Riding/SE Loudoun. (I never know if people

recognize the semi-newer locations!)

Posted by: leesweet | February 10, 2010 2:57 PM


I'm seriously wondering when schools in Fairfax Co. will reopen. Massive

number of schools that will probably require front end loaders to move the

snow. I a ree with the earlier ostin that the 'll be closed all next week.

We just aren't prepared for this kind of snow here.

Raw obs from DCA report another 1" (rounded) increase since the

report that started this post.

@bodypolitic1: Where in Alexandria? It's definitely still snowin' and blowin'

here at Parkfairfax (off 395, across from Shirlington).

Posted by: truyle | February 10, 2010 2:58 PM


Cheers to you too, kathyb39. We are witnessing history. Not in our wildest

dreams would we have imagined this a year ago, while breathlessly

anticipating a 5-inch snowfall on March 1! Bailey's & coffee comin' right

up...be careful it's hot.



Personal note: I'm originally from Hawaii. It's probably in the low 80s there

today. I moved here on purpose. I had to post this here because my wife is so

cold (just by looking out the window) that she's not talking to me. May be

appreciating the snow from the couch tonight with the dog.

By about 2:30pm in Springfield, the snow seems to have stopped. The sky had

had been getting a bit brighter over the past hour. I get about 8 inches still in

measuring, but considering drifting, there's very little accuracy.

Posted by: DrMeglet | February 10, 2010 2:59 PM


capsfan, the NWS hasn't necessarily changed its forecast in MoCO. The

20-30 inch forecast is in the blizzard warning encompassing many

counties. 20-30 inches is mentioned for the counties North of Baltimore.

MoCo's point forecast is seperate from that.

Posted by: Brian-CapitalWeatherGang | February 10, 2010 2:59 PM


I took a walk around the Downtown Silver Spring area and boy, the place

looks eerie. The snow is light but the winds are a big factor.

Posted by: IvantheTerrible | February 10, 2010 2:59 PM


The radar shows the trailing edge just lingering and lingering over DC. Go

ahead and move on north already! This storm has snoverstayed its welcome,

thanks very much.

Posted by: member8 | February 10, 2010 2:59 PM


The sun is peeking out in Fair Lakes!

@ThinkSpring, what did we end up with in Ashburn -- about 7" or so? Won't

get back up that way until close to 8 tonight.
