aldie 22 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 With the super cold temps leading into this I'm surprised about the dusting to less than half inch forecasts...this thing looks like it can accidentally give an inch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adelphi_sky Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 19 degrees with surprisingly heavy snow. Nice fatties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErinInTheSky Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Sidewalks have caved and the roads look like they are about to in untreated areas here in Germantown. Overperformer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overperformer. Looks like the sweet spot of going to be from I-66 / US 50 north to MD 26. You can see the radar upstream back through Romney, WV blossoming nicely in that area. Might see a few 2" reports in the favored hilltops when this is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowfan Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Beautiful steady light snow in Odenton. Everything covered. Cold dust is the best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osfan24 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Looks like we've gone from what I would say was a flurry to a heavy snow mist, if there is such a thing, here in Woodlawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snjókoma Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 I'm not sure the HRRR has the best handle on this... This is the 9 AM simulated radar from the latest run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErinInTheSky Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 I think Germantown is in some sort of radar shadow, because we always have lower or no returns overhead, but I get the same level of snow as those with heavy returns around me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re close to the NWS radar at Dulles. For low clouds and low topped events, like this one, you’re mostly in the cone of silence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noticed that recently. LWX has been in VCP 215 for this event and it's not capturing western Montgomery / eastern Loudoun County too well on the 0.5° reflective scan too well.

Still snowing nicely in SE DC. Even main roads are starting to look rough in areas now in DC... a bunch of idiot drivers around too, from what I can tell from the bus.

SnowCane Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Small flakes but it’s picked up in intensity just a bit in Gaithersburg. Definitely light snow but it’s really pretty how it’s immediately sticking to everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted February 1, 2019 Author Share Posted February 1, 2019 I’d guess between 0.25-0.5” in greenbelt. Will have no trouble reaching 1” if this continues for another 1-2 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scraff Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Decent band expansion in MoCo/HoCo it seems. Imagine that! Waiting for some bigger dendrites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gopper Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 steady pixie dust now in Towson. I wonder if school systems in Baltimore area will wait it out as it is supposed to be mostly done by 3 PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peribonca Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Pretty amazing how every event has overperformed so far this winter. Payback for previous years! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osfan24 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Snow picking up here in Woodlawn. I'd call it a light, steady snow shower now and all elevated surfaces and mulch/grass seeing accumulation. Still nothing on sidewalks and roads, though my complex just dumps mounds of salt everywhere so accumulation there would be hard. Kinda wish I was home today as it looks like Hoco is getting decent returns. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
