Benchmark Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Sleet/rain mix here in Edgewater hovering between 32.5-33. Wish this would just go to snow already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighStakes Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 tonight the banding will be more intense but also more sporadic. Just have to hope we get under a band or this may be it. I would not be shocked though if some places pick up 3-4" quickly in some bands that set up along the trough axis tonight. If were lucky enough and getting into a band or two tonight we could get enhanced with some upslope because of the higher hills. It will depend on the direction the precip comes in. We did really well in part 2 of the Feb. storm last year and I think this aspect helped out. We got 7-8 here and Westminster only got 4 and Taneytown only1-2. The bands rotated in from the east slightly so when they got west of here they starting diminishing. Will see if something like that happens tonight.

clskinsfan Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Dry slot from hell out here. Absolutely nothing falling from the sky 31 degrees. Even if my area is done. I am happy with 2 inches and everything pasted with wet mashed potato's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I-83 BLIZZARD Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 26.8 and snow becoming steady again dusting cleared car and sidewalk. Solid measured inch so far. With the steady light snow moving in its finally starting to accumulate after a lengthy period of irrelevant flurries. Wind is picking up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighStakes Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 It's WRF(ARW)-based, though I have no clue how they have it configured or even how they initialize it. I doubt that they run their own DA in-house. WBAL TV runs it as their futurecast. They been doing it for years. Sometimes has drastic changes from run to run. Does a decent job at showing what areas may get snow showers with a cold front or t-storm in the spring and summer. Bigger events tends to push things to the south.

HighStakes Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I'm surprised. I had .5" I was a little surprised because when I went to sleep at 1:30 it was snowing and radar looked good for at least an inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winds are coming screaming off the ocean at 30-40kts at 925 mb, then just inland drops to 15-20kts. It's kind of creating a weak N/S oriented warm front/inverted trough just offshore as well.

smokeybandit Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Dear CNN, If you're going to show highway video trying to support your commentary on how bad the blizzard is, you may want to pick a scene that isn't showing nothing but rain.
