clskinsfan Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Light snow. Not really that breezy. Not what I was expecting. But I will take it. Looks decent up around Martinsburg. Any reports from up there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what the models have been showing. I'm 31.1 and rising, right in line with all of the stations around me. No surprises. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Northern Virginia. 13... Yeah. You seem to be lightly ribbed for making light of FPCS's head-scratchingly ludicrous calls to cancel school, but you're spot-on. Also, it appears (according to following linky) that FCPS has allotted essentially 21 days for cancellations, with one April day to be "considered" as a make-up day. This district is a joke: https://www.fcps.edu/news-and-calendars/calendars-and-events/make-days Back to regularly scheduled programming -- currently 30/14, with winds 10-15 mph at Fort Belvoir. Woke up to a temp of 18 over in Hayfield Farm at 6 a.m. -- perhaps ~.25" on ground at home, but nothing stuck here on post at Belvoir. Hoping for some squall-age later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The temperature at my house says 33. It has been steadily rising all morning. I can hear the snow melting off my roof going into the downspouts. Didn't know the temps would get so high before the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clskinsfan Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Overall very disappointing. Some light pixie dust and just enough wind to blow the snow off of my trees. Hope it works out better for you guys to the east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GATECH Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Once that squall line hits our hot and humid air it’s going to explode in intensity, but at the last minute we get the dc split and it clobbers areas east.
