wxdude64 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Rate just picked back up again, and flakes getting larger. Just a touch under two inches new since it started falling at 6:45 am. 13 degrees DP 7 EDIT- the heavier rates producing dendrites, when rates drop it goes back to needles/pixie dust type stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disc Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 For those getting snow, what is the consistency? Dendrites? Also, if you know what your 850 temp is that would be great too. Light stuff is pixie dust. In the heavier rates which is happening right now, they are dendrites, like wxdude posted above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Balti Zen Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 A hint of sunshine in Balt City, or at least brightened skies, which I kinda welcome. Anything to warm things up a little. Maybe it will help later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windman18 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Radar is looking juiced up. Looks to be on more of an ene track now. Virginia will no doubt get crushed and I am feeling good about northern Marylands chances as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87storms Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Radar is looking juiced up. Looks to be on more of a sw to ene track now. Virginia will no doubt get crushed and I am feeling good about northern Marylands chances as well. yea i wouldn't underestimate that northern band at all. i could see there being light greens and then dark greens within a 25 mile area on the far north side of the shield. i've seen it happen before. i kinda like my spot for now.
