Storm To Hit On 3/5/-3/6

[treesprite]

What little trace of snow is here now, will probably be gone before this time tomorrow.

 

It seems all the big snow reports are from Virginia. I would like to hear from more people in other regions of Montgomery County .

Yeah, Rob called it. We got rain from 11AM instead of the heavy snow predicted. Kids had fun early so wasn't a total loss. Was hoping for a good one though.

 

I'm south of Hamilton and wound up with about 7 inches before the rain started turning the accumulation into a heavy Slurpee-like slush. I managed to get out with the tractor and plow around 4 PM. The stuff piled up into heavy blocks,sometimes a couple feet across. It'll take a while to melt.

^^That was great. Thanks for sharing the link. Let's hope the sequester blows over as fast and easy as the snowquester.

Spot on. I am stuck in Salt Lake on a business trip. Was supposed to fly back this evening, but BWI cancelled all flights 36h ago. Just talked to my wife: we got less than an inch. Delayed 24h. We need to hire the guy from Anchorman and/or flip a coin to predict storms in order to improve accuracy.

So at its peak in haymarket we got probably 9", but after all the rain we have probably 2-4" on the ground this morning.

A couple of weeks ago I bought a conversion kit for my generator, now it runs on gasoline and natural (cooking) gas.

I ran a gas line outside and now if the power goes out, I can run the thing forever. During Hurricane Sandy there was no gas here on Long Island.

We got 6-8 in Leesburg but quickly turned to slush for the most part. The pups loved it (Sadie 15 year old Basset Hound)

I just hate to give Rob any credit for his predictions...
