  1. Sleet in Millers...6.5 inches before switchover
  2. lol just chill dude and enjoy the ride. You lose and others win. No big deal. Called life.
  3. It's overtop me but I'm still inside the purple?
  4. Mesoscale Discussion 1854 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1257 PM CST Wed Dec 16 2020 Areas affected...Northeast West Virginia...northern Virginia...western Maryland...and central to eastern Pennsylvania Concerning...Heavy snow Valid 161857Z - 170000Z SUMMARY...Heavy snowfall rates around 2 inches per hour are expected to increase in coverage through the mid to late afternoon hours across portions of the Mid-Atlantic. Heavy snowfall will likely continue into the overnight hours for portions of eastern/northeastern Pennsylvania. DISCUSSION...Precipitation continues to gradually increase in coverage across much of the Mid-Atlantic region within a broad swath of strong warm air advection between 850-700 mb (per recent RAP soundings and mesoanalysis). Mixed precipitation types continue to be reported within the precipitation transition zone along the Roanoke to Fredericksburg, VA line. While a wintry mix, including pockets of freezing rain, will continue in the near term, this zone should become more limited spatially through the mid/late afternoon hours. Further north, moderate, to at times heavy, snowfall rates have been observed (as evidenced by visibility reductions to one-quarter mile and observed snow rates around 2 inches per hour for some locations in northeast WV). Heading through the afternoon, the low that is currently advancing northward along the Carolina coast will continue to deepen. As this occurs, mid-level winds will strengthen and begin to tighten the 850-700 mb baroclinic zone and augment warm advection across the region. As isentropic and frontogenetical lift increase, snowfall rates will see a corresponding uptick in intensity. Lift within the dentritic growth zone and weak instability closer to the coast will help further augment snowfall rates. Widespread snowfall rates above 1 inch per hour over the region are likely, and the potential for widespread snowfall rates exceeding two inches per hour will increase through 00 UTC as the potential for organized frontogenetical/deformation-driven snow bands increases.
  5. Roads covered here in Millers. Close to an inch so far.
  6. 31 degrees and light snow in Millers. Close to a dusting already.
  7. 31.0 degrees here in Millers with snow still on the ground from yesterday. Should keep things cold overnight.
  8. Snow is ending here...total of 1 and a half inches. Enough for kids to sled and have fun!
  9. Mostly snow now in Millers...temp is still 39.0 degrees. Big, heavy flakes coming down.
  10. Snow mixing with rain in Millers...temp has actually risen to 39.0 degrees
  11. 38.8 degrees here in Millers, MD with sleet mixing in.
  12. Losetoa6 where in Carroll are you located?
  13. About to get hit here in Manchester...Currently no warnings or wind to speak of
  14. Flooding in Millers, MD. Tearing up Roller Road outside our house http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/5d1e481addc15/20190704_141710.mp4 Sent from my Moto E (4) using Tapatalk
  15. From LWX (4:33 AM) .SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/... Low pressure will traverse the area Friday. It`s weak, but there`s notable warm advection in the 850-700 hPa layer, tucked under a modest coupled upper jet structure and mid-level PVA. Given the cold temperatures, any precipitation that falls will be snow and have no trouble sticking. East of the mountains, lift is focused in the dendritic snow growth zone, so despite low-level dry air believe there should be at least some steady light snow in the I-81 corridor and near/north of US-50. Along and north of I-70, moisture and lift are a bit better and this is where the best chance for plowable snow exists east of the mountains. As far as the ridges of the Allegheny Highlands go, lift here is actually a bit below the dendritic snow growth zone. Cold temperatures should yield ratios close to 18:1, but with low inversion heights and less than ideal wind trajectories, current most likely forecast is for sub-warning level snow (solid advisory, 3-6"). Therefore, have opted not to go with a watch at this time. Advisories will likely be needed over the mountains and in northern Maryland (especially given the cold ground and potential impact) for Friday, if current forecast projections remain on course.
  16. From LWX: Here are the current rankings for wettest year on record (through November 15th): Baltimore MD area (BWI) 1. 63.01 inches (2018) 2. 62.66 inches (2003) 3. 62.35 inches (1889) 4. 58.98 inches (1979) Weather records for the Baltimore MD area have been kept at what is now Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI) since 1950. Precipitation records observed downtown extend the period of record back to 1871.
