This is the "snow total pool" thread for the Dulles official snow total for the storm. All predictions must be posted here no later than 10 pm on Tuesday. You can change your prediction at any time up until 10 pm Tuesday by editing your post (it is time stamped when you edit). If 2 or more people tie, then the tie breaker is the earliest prediction by time. Probably will not have an official NOAA number until Thursday.

OK...I predict 7 inches.

I'm going with 6.5 inches (but, I'm hoping for 40!!!) lol

Curly · Mar-05-13 1:29PM

I'm thinking about 11" right now at Dulles, but will wait a little while before making my final prediction (before 10 pm tonight).

10" is my final #.............

4"

captmikestarrett · Mar-06-13 9:23AM

It is 4 am in Accokeek and we have maybe 1 inch of snow.. sleeting now and roads are not covered just grass.

I predict 2 whole inches before it melts away from rain.

Ernie · Mar-06-13 1:32PM

Very wet snow in Ashburn....near 2 inches on grass....streets looks good.

DC has shut down but that is because of snowquestration.

NOAA is still calling for 10-14" in Loudoun.

Curly · Mar-06-13 2:39PM

2.25" at my house in Ashburn at 9:30 am. It REALLY started coming down after I took this photo .

I'll try to update the pics every couple of hours........Coming down to hard to get out there and catch a couple snow crappie .

Had 1" on the ground in Forestville when I got up. Had a blast of heavy snow around 7:30 that took us to 3". Now it's raining and we're back under 1" and the street is just wet. I'd like some snow for the dog to frolic in, but this keeps the wires up on the poles.

So...if they measure on asphalt, it will be on the low side. If on concrete, then a medium range. Now, if they measure on wood or other natural surface, then we get higher higher totals.

I see a protest coming......

Curly · Mar-06-13 4:27PM

It's melting here at about the same rate it accumulates. Only 3" on the deck, but I know we've had at least 5-6". Melting off my trees even faster. Streets are clear with a little slush.

Nice...I have to work. But I would not go fishing in this anyway.....I wonder what the weather is like in Jupiter right now?

GregF · Mar-06-13 6:25PM

You tease!!! 73, sunny, but a bit windy. We would have to fish inshore.

I bet if this keeps up though....we'll add another few inches throughout the night when the temps drop. I'm more worried about everything icing up over night and trying to drive in the morning. I'm not worried about moving in it....stopping in it is a different story! lol

Ernie · Mar-06-13 10:04PM

Here is your storm in time lapse. It starts strong and then fizzles....
