87storms Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Moderate to heavy snow now. Deck getting covered quickly. that's what is headed our way, i think...though not sure what form it will take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormhunter Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 That stuff coming in doesn't look like snow on dual pol.. maybe some but it must be sleet or rain mainly. Wet bulbs are above freezing except far NW it seems. Im just south of Ski Liberty and just above the MD line, about 20 minutes NW of Thurmont MD. I have noticed in my area that when the precip rate is high it snows and when it is low it is a mix or even sleet. My area now seems to be close to the transition area. If I had to guess. 30-40 miles south and east would be close to rain. unless the dynamics change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathervswife Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 The echoes don't look like snow to me. Where are you getting the Dual Pol? We started off as sleet 30 minutes ago, but pretty heavy snow now. Everything is white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where are you getting the Dual Pol? wes, if you have radarscope on your phone you can use the correlation coefficient as a good indicator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowlover33 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Exactly right. That was a terrible post he made. This isn't a bust.....except for people who ignored the models in favor of what they wanted. These models are good. And Wes is even better. Ide like to apologize for that, its just my snow starved brain talking, Wes did a wonderful job with this storm! I never meant to bash him.

usedtobe Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 wes, if you have radarscope on you phone you can use the correlation coefficient as a good indicator.

87storms Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 now we're on the "right" side of the mountains. looks like we might get a burst of snow/sleet as things organize. radar is filling in fast over central VA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrederickWX Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Poor DCA... they will still be looking for their first 1+ inch measurement after today. Still looks cold for the next 10 days, but I'm kind of pessimistic about snow chances. Wouldn't be shocking to come out of this with little additional snow before it goes milder again.

Ian Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Thanks, my phone isn't that sophisticated. I was hoping there was a nice internet site for it. you can actually sorta see what appears to be the snow/sleet line ... folks in culpeper reporting snow.. back to roughly CHO. so.. maybe NW burbs will still get some.

BaltimoreWxGuy Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Actually, the much hated NAm has a dry slot and didn't start any precip until around 15Z or so and it also had warm surface temps. I suspect we still get some light precip for the city and it will probably be light rain. I don't understand everyone getting so angry, this was never supposed to be a big event and I know I mentioned at least once that there were more things that could go wrong with the event than right. Last night after seeing the GFS, Matt made the comment "next" as it didn't look particularly good. True, but if you believed Justin Berk, DC and Balt was to get 3-4"+....what a hoot that guy is.

Snowlover33 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Medium sized band of precip coming in towards the district.. gonna be interesting to see what falls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qaanaaq Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 We started off as sleet 30 minutes ago, but pretty heavy snow now. Everything is white. Same here, although it had been raining too- Snow now- the ground is covered and so are the streets- nice little pulse- quite unexpected- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowfan Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Flurries.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast NPZ Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 A couple periods of light flurries here. Temp 33F, so it's a moot point. Would need to snow hard just to accumulate at all, and even moderate snow is not in the cards. I woke up around 7:30 to even a little bit of sunshine IMBY. Not one bit surprising as I saw the writing on the wall looking at last night's radar. Not much of a bust since at best we were looking at 1 - 3 inches, but given the somewhat bleak model progs for the next few weeks (precip wise) this was our best chance to add a little more snow cover.

aldie 22 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 i think people are overlooking the dry aspect of this. I know bl is important but it can be zero but with no moisture it's not gonna snow...this one just feels like a stuck in the middle type storm dang....look at me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
