Bob Chill Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Find your yard and pick which ratio you want to use. I'm going 15:1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomeguyfromTakomaPark Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Barely under any radar returns on I-66 now and it's snowing, seems like dry air is losing out quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacintoshPro Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Surprised by LWX maps in NW DC, euro and NAM still support a 6-8" event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87storms Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 0.5" contour runs right through DCA and 0.25" contour through Philly coming just north of the M/D line as you move west...everyone posting in this forum is 0.25"+ that's solid. this is a rare event here given the temps. radar looking good: http://weather.cod.edu/satrad/nexrad/index.php?type=LWX-N0Q-1-24 this is a good time to take a break and regroup.

nj2va Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 Find your yard and pick which ratio you want to use. I'm going 15:1 I know I'm parsing 0.00001" but a bit more falls after that. 0.6" contour runs along southern trip of Alexandria/DC edge at hour 30.

wxdude64 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Find your yard and pick which ratio you want to use. I'm going 15:1 euroqpf.JPG Hmmmm....15-1 would give me 15-16", not seeing that, I'll stick with 10-12 thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOVAForecaster Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I can't find a reason for why LWX moved the 4-6" south, seems good for 6-8" up to around I-70 on most models besides the Canadian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SomeguyfromTakomaPark Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 wow, it's moving in fast it seems Judging by the fact that it's snowing on me and I'm barely under any radar returns that first band heading towards DC should be decent.

Don Cherry's Jacket Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Seems like DC proper will see snow earlier than the 4 O'Clock predicted start time. Good thing it's a holiday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ger Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I want to echo concerns about a closure tomorrow. Need to still be snowing at a good clip and have a nice blanket around 3am when the decision is made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I want to echo concerns about a closure tomorrow. Need to still be snowing at a good clip and have a nice blanket around 3am when the decision is made With how cold it's going to be, I'm pretty sure closure if 6"+ verifies.
