[EXTONPA]

not snow

[EXTONPA]

I wonder when our friends at NWS will fix their forcast???

NWS just bumped DC's totals up a notch.. now 7-12", instead of 6-10" previously. With locations north and west.. sterling, va & westminster, md 8-14".. which were also previously 6-10".

[EXTONPA]

this may be a situation where DC gets more snow than Philly b virtue of being further west

[EXTONPA]

NWS in baltimore area already drastically cutting snow totals.....

[EXTONPA]

1 inch too high an estimate for Philly?

[EXTONPA]

storm is also weakening

[krysof]

great exton, rain, all right, go rain storm

[roebear]

Exton, Don't know for sure about Exton PA, but I believe according to latest actual movement of storm (not models) that Susqhehanna Valley will get clobbered. 14-20" snow.

Moderate to heavy SNOW right now and 29.0 degrees. Only been snowing for 20 minutes and all but the streets are already white. It is a wet heavy snow though.

Not sure where you are getting this from but no one has changed there prediction....still all snow from what I can see...

[Ed Spacer]

In fact,I am looking at a radar loop, and it appears the COLD INVERSION is winning out...the strength of the precip is actually broadly moving from the west,not off the atlantic inwards.....

NWS in DC is in the process of lowering their storm estimates. It may not be a complete washout or bust, but it's looking like the DC metro area will be lucky to wring 3-6 inches out of this storm. That's not horrible, except when the expectations were for 6-10 with the chance for even more.

Overall, in my book, that is approaching a busted forecast, but many of the local mets during the 11pm news last night were more in the 4-7 range, so that is certainly closer to what will actually transpire. As a snow love, I woke up this morning and I could feel something was wrong (too much experience being disappointed) and then I looked out and there was nothing so far.

I know this will sound like sour grapes to folks in areas who rarely get snow, but if it's not going to be a solid 7 or 8 inches (when it is predicted) I would just as soon see it miss completely. Overall, this winter in DC has been extremely disappointing.

Just drove up 42 miles of I-95, it was all SNOW. In fact my office in Richmond says snow/sleet mix with the ground almost white. If it is not raining in Richmond, it will stay all snow. Once Richmond transitions, we nee dto watch it.

This was definitely a bust for the major cities. Here's the problem...it's almost March, the sun angle is high and the daytime heating is alot more substantial. If this were the beginning of February, things would be different. I just talked to my aunt who lives in Brooklyn, New York and it's been snowing all day...but they have a slushy accumulation of 2 inches...nothing's sticking on the roads. Unfortunately there's no arctic high just to the north that is dragging that cold air down. At last report, it's 34F in Boston. Forecasters definitely miscalculated this. But I had a feeling something like this may happen.

It's 3.5" here outside Baltimore with side streets snow covered and slushy. It's not over yet, but it's not crippling either. A beautiful wet snowy scene though, good enough for digital photography.

It's almost March 1st. Consider ourselves lucky to see 6 inches or more of snow in alot of cases in DC and Baltimore unless it's night time with no solar radiation.

I'll talk more on the digital pics later.
