Inland Harris-
Including the city of Houston
429 PM CST Thu Feb 11 2021


.SUNDAY NIGHT...Light freezing rain, snow and sleet in the late
evening and overnight. Little or no snow and sleet accumulation.
Lows in the upper 20s. Chance of precipitation 60 percent in the
evening increasing to 80 percent after midnight.
.WASHINGTONS BIRTHDAY...Mostly cloudy with light freezing rain,
snow and sleet in the morning, then partly cloudy with a chance
of light freezing rain, snow and sleet in the afternoon. Snow and
sleet accumulation up to 1 inch. Colder. Highs in the lower 30s.
Chance of precipitation 80 percent in the morning decreasing to
40 percent in the afternoon.

I feel for all those tech migrants from California. 

Nothing in STL. 

Perfectly situated band over downtown STL. ~28-30dbz. I don't have a way to really gauge the accumulation here but its accumulating quickly. Perhaps nearing 0.8 or so inches? Lovely outside. Temp is 17

Very light flurries in downtown STL @ a balmy 23. Most of the precip has been to the north and south of me

Downtown STL is around .6ish I think. Not too much but made for a nice walk. 

Record setting cold run on the 18z gfs

Don’t worry man. It’s probably far less stressful knowing you’ll rarely see snow than to be teased into believing you’ll get a foot every week, just to have it taken away within 48 hours LOL

Yea I'm not going to miss that at all, haha. It was like a never ending set of really convincing mirages. Not to mention all the lost sleep and work productivity, checking models every 6 hours. God, it was torture but so addicting.

There can some pretty awesome midwestern blizzards out your way though. Huge wind driven events if you catch the right one.

Oh yes, that's something I'm looking forward to experience. Really hoping we can squeeze one event like that before winter ends. 

Wish I could be there for this.. I've temporarily relocated to MO, aka no more noreasters for me  . Anyway, here's an update from the wunderground station near my old house in Olney:  light snow, 27. 

35/31 very light snow

Literally puking buckets, the house directly in front of mine [maybe 100-200 feet] is difficult to see. Temp is 26

BWI: 5.0"

DCA: 2.2"

IAD: 4"

RIC: 0.5"

Tiebreaker: 1.31"

Raining and 31 here. There’s a really beautiful, heavy glaze on the trees and grass. I’m lovin all the glistening

I'm pretty sure that isn't a live shot.  If it is, I am driving there right now, lol.

It is per the site!

Virgo here despite decent returns on radar.  Two Top Mt., where White Tail Ski Resort is located, is visible from my front yard.  Typically when the mountain starts to look hazy, snow is close to reaching the ground.  As of now, it is still clear.  34 degrees.

It's snowing directly to your east, https://chart.maryland.gov/video/video.php?feed=bd00eec8003600fd0057fa36c4235c0a

I wonder if that first band in Frederick is virga...

It's not in Frederick yet but it's reaching ground in Washington co.

I am viewing CHART cams and do not see snowfall hitting the ground anywhere attm

I do see snow falling on old morgantown cam and exit 35 I-70 cam [which I believe is near boonsboro]. Over central md there's nothing on base radar so it makes sense. It's virga on composite but it should saturate soon if it's already done so farther west.

Was precip suppose to be here this soon? The radar already has composite returns overhead. It may just be a few more hours before we get drizzle or flurries. 36/17 here

7F at wunderground station nearest to my home, and it’s before 10pm... this is one of the coldest temps I’ve witnessed this early in the ~10 years I’ve been into this hobby.

And just like summer, it will be a miss! My goodness wasted 45 minutes watching radar loops just to get fringed by a line clearly aiming for the district. I'll probably experience a flizzard. 

The winds will still be howling. That's worth an outdoor walk

Back from a Jeb Walk. It’s absolutely beautiful out here tonight. 

 

Thanks for the photo! The trees are iced over and toped with a bit of snow here too- same with the roads and sidewalk.

Yep, just on the edge of it now.  

It's intensifying as I type here, in eastern Moco. I can't see the grass blade tips either so I should be nearing 2'' if I'm not already there. What a great little event. 

Moderate snow in Olney, my driveway has caved. Temp is 33

Measured a little over 11'' in Olney. We really hit the jackpot here with this one, and I for one am thoroughly satisfied! I'm hoping this is a good indicator for things to come with the pattern shift on the 20th. I am a bit winded from the obs and storm-tracking -- I forgot how much energy and attention storm monitoring involves.

Moco is getting raked. Radar looks like yellow french fries 

Can definitely confirm that. Went on a 30 min walk and it's just pouring snow, my hair stood no match.. must've had like a half inch accumulate on it by the time I got back home.

I measured something like 8.5 inches on the grass near a local road so I think we had somewhere between 9 or 9.5'' so far correcting for compaction.

Any input on where costal developed and impacts on the storm later?

It's just off Outerbanks. https://www.spc.noaa.gov/exper/mesoanalysis/new/viewsector.php?sector=19#
