TD_washingtonredskins Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Assuming it's mostly done snowing (and it's been raining in Ashburn for over an hour now), it wasn't too bad. We got 5-6 inches before the rain starting cutting into that. The whole family stayed home and my 5- and 4-year old kids got out a couple times to throw snowballs and build a scary-ass snowman. After each trip outside, we came inside and sat by the fire and had snacks. I've had worse days and the kids will probably remember their first real snow for a while.

Sticksboi05 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Besides it's March in the mid-atlantic, you need everything to go right for heavy snowfall. It's not surprising it busted. This entire system is an array of low-confidence forecasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark The Homer Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 So now we're discussing record-breaking busts - frequency and magnitude. <sigh> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD_washingtonredskins Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Well, the next 10 days seem to have no storm potential and that takes us through the Ides, so I would say that winter is officially over. Time for March Madness, baseball, and spring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesMadisonSkins Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Harrisonburg, VA got about 20" ... same with Charlottesville ... DC and Arlington were just a bit too east and too warm. That happens with March storms ... That's also why the snow is so wet and heavy. Warmer temps to that. The Precip to Snow ratio was 1" of precit = 5-6" of snow ... usually it's 1" prec. = 10-12" snow ... so the precip was there, it was just too warm in some places to stick and accumulate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Well I suppose my worries yesterday weren't unfounded. I just got a little too happy among with everyone else last night. We managed 4 inches here with a really good band from about 9:00 to 10:00. After that it was just on and off, mostly off. It's raining here a little right now. I'm assuming we may see a switch back over to snow later on but I wouldn't expect anything great. All in all, we made off better in Springfield with snow than Alexandria that was all rain during our huge band of snow earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladyskin76 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 really hoping for a lil more snow to give me a good reason to have taken off work and waste 8 hours ...oh well good thing it looks as if winter is over and I'll have plenty of time to make it up.

KingGibbs Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Ha ha. There's storms called HECS and this one shall be pegged as a HECB. I ain't mad though. Didn't want snow. It's March 6th! Time to think spring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but when they predicted as much snow as they did for the areas they did and A LOT of areas didn't get anything but a cold rain all day, it's a bust. HECB!

d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Between 8:30am and 10:30am, giant flakes were coming down really well, it was blizzard-like. Had a fun walk, but the snow was slushy from the onset. Ground was just too warm. My area missed the minimum of projected totals by 4 inches.

CrypticVillain Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I know for a fact that my agency will not any delays after today's debacle of a storm Yeah, at the worst, I am expecting a two-hour delay. But that is really stretching it. Last month they accidentally closed the government because of a potential storm. I can't imagine how they feel know that they had to do it on purpose this time and nothing still happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say "nothing" happened. 8-10 inches out here. I'd bet on a late opening. Schools here are already closed for tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
