Joshfsu123 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Rates on radar look light overhead but it’s still solid -SN here... just smaller flakes but probably falling at the best clip of the storm so far. Temp is down to 31... impressive drop in temperature. Seems that’s one thing the models were pretty good on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usedtobe Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 According to the HRRR, my window for accumulating snow is from 1 this afternoon to 6 or 7 this evening. Gald to see some like Mappy are cashinng, I had about 15 minutes of snow that was hard enough to whiten the car top towards the beginning of the event but then it almost stopped and my white disappeared. Waiting and hoping the HRR radar is right about this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The backbuilding area south of RIC will fill in with the stuff to the west and become a solid shield. Rates will go up and down but no true dryslots should happen from the burbs and westward. There’s been at least an hour of only flurries here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It started snowing like 2-3 hours ago and will continue all day and people are already calling specific mini region busts. Lol. I guess I see the world differently. It's a great day and we'll see who wins and loses in 8 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scraff Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Do we have any road accumulation reports around HoCo? Wife wants to head out. Nothing but wet here in Elkridge, light snow only. Missing out on the death band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormpc Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Nice Mapgirl. 1 inch more than me so far. Never a doubt. Looks like the better returns are coming back into the 95 corridor shortly from the Southwest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once in a while it clips me and the snow picks up only to fade again. Hopefully that band can shift west about 5 miles at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just kidding, can't see outside because I'm stuck in a pool with no windows. I've tempered my expectations for when I walk out the door. Certainly won't have issues getting home.

Maestrobjwa Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Okay...So what went wrong with this event? Too much dry air? (I mean, I guess I'm happy to see snow, but I'm always greedy and always want more than what fell...especially when this happens, lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timing was later, so snow fell when the sun was up. Dry air ate away precip and also caused a lot of virga early on. The coastal low seemed to take its sweet time getting going. The initial wave seemed stronger than expected and over-performed down south, and maybe that helped steal dynamics from this one. Oh well. Frustrating but at least we will all get an inch or two and some holiday spirit. This was never going to be big. Big fails, especially if the big cities north of us cash in, are the ones that cause me to melt down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
