it can work out if timing is right. otherwise if storms pop up they tend to become a blob of messiness vs discrete cells

my hope is to keep cloud cover at a minimum, get enough instability from warming to break cap and have the lee trough that helps pop storms do its usual thing.  

Some good storms yesterday and wouldn't mind round 2 today.  Its been fairly sunny in Fx Co most of the morning.  CU developing IMBY

this is a huge problem across the board. my own mother, for a time, didn't even know the difference. 

however, regarding schools, the State of Maryland Board of Ed needs to make sure their teachers and especially their principals are properly trained to know the correct verbiage and what to do. I hope this is a serious lesson to the school, and the overall county, on properly handling of these situations. 

One would hope its uniform from state to state but it doesn't appear that way.  i know that a few years ago when I went to pick up the kids from school it was when storms were hitting.  there was a TOR warning that went up but not for my immediate area.  the principal held all the kids inside regardless due to policy.  I was surprised they were as proactive and glad they did it.  What was lol was being in a hallway with all these other parents who had a ton of misinformation due to not taking the time to read or listen to the forecast for that day.

not much doing so far near that blob just SW of the beltway near Fairfax/Burke

thats says nothing, yoder

Sun really starting to come out now.  We will see if this jumps up storm chances

But to be fair he might not have been near it as it got its act together.

Yeah, that cell looks pretty good. I’d pop a warning on that.

i have a friend that lives down there.  He said he was a mile or so from it.  Told me no winds at all.  just heavy rain.

The most important question of life... Can butterflies fart?

The answer?

Nobody knows.

Eff black holes.  Science needs to answer this.

Now back to storms

Just now, mappy said:

Keep us posted for when they hoist the flood warnings for you. 

I might go boating on the Potomac near Great Falls with my dinghy

So is this where I put my rain obs for this storm?

Enjoy the snow, people who get snow. I’ll enjoy my flood watch

Chasing rain

Lost freezing. 32.1 now

1” sleet/snow since I swept my spot. 3.5” total so far. 

Will likely be the last bit as temps are soaring. Up to 31 after being 29.9 just about an hour ago. 

Sleet changing to zr and soon will be just rain after I lose freezing temps

It’s pouring sleet now. 30.1/28. Temps holding for now

Measured 2.5" at 11:00 in SSW Franconia/Kingstowne, FFX County.  It's a snow/sleet mix right now here.  

I had 2" that i reported at 9:30.  Haven't measured since and cleared my snow measuring area at 11 once it switched to mostly sleet.  2.5" sounds about right tho.

Mostly sleet and only a little snow mixed in.  30/28

Ice bomb if this stays like this
