would have been cool if this game was on pittsburgh.
-
i expected it, but elevation hasn't been as important east of the blue ridge...that mid level warm air is obviously pretty high up and probably thick. needed a better 500 low track.
-
pingers have arrived in abundance.
-
i think it's a wrap soon. i did just check and don't hear pingers yet. pretty good band moving through, but it's football time now. curious how hagerstown does though in a setup like this.
-
guess i'm next soon lol. 100% snow here. glad it stayed snow during the daylight. whatever it wants to do now is fine.
-
just got home. still ripping here...though sounds like the sleet march is on. let's see how well sugarloaf to urbana to mt airy can delay things.
-
Until the flip happens, this is a premium snowstorm in progress. Taking the Jeep out and roads covered. Pure powder. Really has an Atlantic system feel to it.
-
think i'll be doing a walk soon. strike while the iron is...cold enough for snow.
-
What’s impressive aside from the moderate powder falling (which has got to be at least 0.5” ph here right now) is the breeze. It’s really adding an element to this storm.
-
nearby weather stations between downtown frederick and gambrill are still around 18-20 degrees.
-
southern systems overrunning arctic air are the fun kind.
-
strong start in frederick. sticking to everything. steady, maybe even mod and low visibility kicking in. can't see the catoctin's right now.
-
Flaking in Frederick now
-
still virga here, but it's incoming.
-
4-7" for frederick...that'll work. https://forecast.weather.gov/showsigwx.php?warnzone=MDZ004&warncounty=MDC021&firewxzone=MDZ004&local_place1=Frederick MD&product1=Winter+Storm+Warning&lat=39.4157&lon=-77.412#.YeRiIP7MK5c
-
arctic express...a day late, but gonna be hard to scour out for the western folks. nasty stuff once the changeover occurs.
-
yea, seems like there's a more easterly component on the gfs than the high res models. this is one of those storms where mets earn their paper. gonna be a lot of flight delays incoming as well.
-
hiking old rag today would be something else.
-
true, that was an imby post lol. my guess is 1pm for frederick, but precip is high-tailing it.
-
basically following those 850 winds. verbatim would be about a 2pm arrival (maybe earlier).

hoping it stays snow longer than expected for obvious reasons, but also because this has legitimate power outage potential for the northern tier. i don't feel like dealing with that.
-
This has potential to be a sneaky event.
-
I’m relying on the hills between Germantown and Frederick to be my defense mechanism here at delaying the subtropical airmass at 850…I’m expecting at least 45 mins of crystals falling from the sky.
-
Can’t go wrong with daytime snow…so that’s a plus. I think the ice situation could be worse than we think. This is a stout high even if it’s moving offshore. I know one thing…after taking a little tumble on a sidewalk while leaving canton last night, I’ll be paying attention to black ice. Someone must have washed a car or something lol. But most importantly I didn’t drop my leftovers.
