SnowenOutThere

What time will we start seeing it develop?

Beautiful two hour jebwalk done and now heavy snow with winds blowing it. So worth driving up for this

Just outside the heaviest reflectivity but regardless everything is caved and heavy dendrites. Got some awesome pictures I can’t wait to post. Anyone know if the IVt will shift east?

Going on a jebwalk to take some pictures!

Wow. I’m at 33.1 with heavy snow and nothing has really stuck yet. For the last 15 minutes I think I’ve still lived with just enough rain to stop accumulations. Now it’s all snow and slush is building up

Thanks. Surprised I’m getting a switch to all snow and heavy snow at that without the norlun setup yet. Hopefully bodes well for the people outside of it later

Seeing the reflectivity decrease across the ffx county/louden area probably means we’re going to get out of this rain snow mix soon into a more snow dominant ptype

Got any tools I could use to see where it’s setting up? I’m right next to Dulles and am liking where the banding has been.

Dropped into 33 degrees but still a rain snow mix.

Oh that is squared perfectly over my backyard.

Big flakes mixing in with rain now. 50/50 mix I would say. Temps have plummeted from 36.7 to 34.5 in the past hour as winds continually shift more north.

All rain where I am but the rain itself is probably an 80% liquid and 20% solid type concoction.

In the past hour or so temps have dropped into the upper 35s and winds have shifted from due east to now solidly northeast. Solar radiation is also beginning to decrease. I expect areas near where I am to switch to snow within the hour or so.

Assuming all the high reflectivity around the Dulles radar is snow melting then snow is in the air a mere 400 feet above me.

We’re right next to the radar site so how far up is it seeing that snow melt? Would think it’s not even 2000+ ft up in the air
