MichaelScott Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 4.5 13 degrees. 10 is legit threat. Even though I'm out here at Tech with 8" right now, I really am sad I'm gonna miss 10" in LYH. What a storm so far! Same obs as before. Mod snow, 11 deg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthArlington101 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Woah, bands are joining and reorganizing.... Not so much a band as just a wall of SN. I agree with your earlier comment on flake size, still fine pixie dust, but the amount of pixie dust has certainly increased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caviman2201 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 that's how I've been judging snow rates for years, but don't see them very often from my current locationYea... It's really hard to judge rates in the burbs at night any other way. I wish I knew their altitude because it's really just relative without that info.

GATECH Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Flake size increasing, about 1.5 inches on the ground Plow just rolled through the hood, no effect on the roads, kinda just blew the snow around, street sweeper would have been more effective....champagne powder.

ovechkin Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 per radar Wheaton looks like it should be getting hit by a decent band, but it's just a steady small flake snow. 1/2 to 3/4 inch so far, but really looks like it having a hard time accumulating even in 14 degrees.
