  1. This former North Dakotan is DYING...
  2. Favorite snow = convective snow with a big DGZ...
  3. I'm gonna get the shaft between these 2 bands in Silver Spring. I can see the squall out my apartment window to the west by 2 miles.
  4. Enjoy these last snow bands while you can... last heavy snow we're likely going to see until mid-Feb
  5. By 21z our Sfc-700 lapse rates go up to about 6.5°/km and 7.5°/km from sfc-850. Those are excellent values for this region.
  6. I see some measurements in the LSR's are measuring this event + the previous...
  7. Decent hit, inverted trough present at 700mb right through NE MD..
  8. Clarksville MD Mesonet Station hit 2.1F... it's in a bit of a cold sink.
  9. Not worried. Euro Mean has had us at .2" liquid for awhile now. This will be a 1-3" and we'll be happy. Timing will be key though as we want the start before sunrise to get a base layer down.
  10. Need winds to die down in order for the bottom to drop out..
  11. It's not like your name hasn't been plastered all over these boards since the days of Eastern...
  12. As the cold front aloft moves in, should rapidly squeeze out any remaining moisture into snow.
  13. Oh look, UMD closed. Final domino to fall in the PG/MoCo area.
  14. Rates weren't high enough to compensate. As far as "powder", really need to have temps in the teens for that kind of stuff.
  15. The "yellows" are definitely pockets of enhanced lift that are pushing higher RH's into the DGZ. Congrats to anyone who can get in one and stay in it..
  16. Just a warning on Kuchera, it's not going to do well with the incoming dry slot. This sugar powder stuff is quite good at creating 9:1 to 11:1 SLR's. Seeing a lot of malformed plates and needles outside. Very inefficient snowmaking going on upstairs.
  17. 500mb dry slot coming in and killing the DGZ RH. Plates and columns rather than dendrites.
  18. Roads caved around 4:30 in Silver Spring, right on time with the sunset.
  19. Should be pretty easy to keep up with too, -SN at >.03"/hr liquid. Snow TV for everyone is a good time.
  20. SnowTV on today in Silver Spring. Beautiful.
  21. I only have the ancillary data to support this but soil moisture percentages within the saturation runoff region was around 80% prior to the rain falling. As predicted, the creeks/streams are responding quickly.
  22. Agreed, surface inversion is going to hold tight. Bay is pretty cold as well, that should discourage mixing the bigtime gusts. Straight pressure gradient is going to still kick it to gale force though (35 kts). Need an anemometer on top of the bay bridge.
