Lights just flickered. The slop on the lines must be catching some wind. It’s still 33 out so hopefully it keeps falling off. This thing isn’t worth losing power over.
-
Measured 1/2” in Lancaster County, VA after whatever melting and compaction has occurred. It really isn’t sticking to much and feels more like rain in spots. I was hoping to cover the grass entirely at least once this year. Grassy surfaces aren’t looking any different than they did at sunset. It’s still 33 here too so I don’t think much else will come of this given radar appearance as well.
-
Is that even with the radar appearance? It seems pretty empty out near richmond, but maybe there’s something I’m missing when it comes to radar…
-
Coating in the grass, starting to stick to gravel but couldn’t tell with pavement. The wind is ramping up and it’s going sideways.
-
Snowing sideways! Had about quarter-half dollar sized flakes earlier.
-
Switched to dime-sized flake clumps that make a noise when they hit your head. Grass caved quickly.
-
Temperature seems to be dropping finally and maybe a few flakes are appearing in the rain in Lancaster.
-
It’s interesting to see the 601 traffic cam in Bluemont VA has a coating, but others around the area don’t.
-
Yeah I guess so. It’s still within the forecast range assuming fgen and good rates. But I’m looking at the higher resolution stuff and obs at this point
-
42 and some rain to the south. Hoping to see some heavy stuff later tonight!
-
What are you referring to? Just woke up and haven’t seen anything bad yet. I do need some coffee though

Feb 22nd/23rd "There's no way..." Storm Thread
Rhino16 replied to Maestrobjwa's topic in Mid Atlantic
Even a 2-3” deal would be the best snowfall of the year in my yard. Interested to see the thermal situation over the next few runs. It’s been suspiciously close to 33°. -
Was it Canaan Valley you’re thinking of? Seems we had another dusty rainfall yesterday.
-
Congrats everyone in Richmond. Northern neck missed again, but it happens. I’m interested in the wind tomorrow.
-
3k NAM seems too dry? It is snowing in spots north of the nc/va line but the model doesn’t depict that at all. It’s also missing stuff in NC as well.
-
Getting flakes in the northern neck
-
-18 at Canaan NWR currently.
-
Are you getting any flakes right now? Further west seems to be. It’s weird the 3k NAM dries out so much but the other one doesn’t. I don’t know if that’s a known thing it does.
-
Hopefully we can at least cover the grass again because it’s ugly after being smushed by the glacier.

The Jan 31 Potential: Stormtracker Failure or 'Tracker Trouncing
Rhino16 replied to stormtracker's topic in Mid Atlantic
What’s the difference between a “first guess” and “first call”? -
I hate sharing my thoughts, but when I do, it’s most likely to be in the warm season. I also am not confident on synoptic level stuff so I’m not great at tracking winter storms.
-
The SPC MD says 0.05-0.1”/hr. The precip ahead of it seems to have beefed up a bit too, which I don’t like. The crust is nice and shiny though!
-
Heard a scary cracking noise outside. The sky is orange I think. Still waiting on this ice squall thingy, but with 1/8” already I hope it isn’t too bad.
-
Measured 1/8” of ice here, think the temp is dropping in the area but hard to tell.
-
Decent rate freezing rain right now but it’s been fluctuating in intensity. I think temps are close to freezing but just slightly below? I woke up late so measured 1 & 1/8” of snow/sleet/ice. Local station at 30, but that’s south across the river. edit: seeing 31s pop up now so the changeover to plain rain may be close.
