lol bad call Mt Holly!

This morning`s update basically ramps up the potential for some light accumulating snow through the early morning hours. We switched the VCP over this morning from 32 to 31 to get a more sensitive look at the radar echos heading this way and we`re pretty confident that some of the clouds are now producing some light flurries to over portions of DelMarVa. With a more robust set of returns over the tidewater of Virginia, we have increased confidence in accumulating precip moving over DelMarVa and southern New Jersey. With the cold air aloft and no melting layer in sight on either KDIX or KDOX, this is expected to be pure sure. The HRRR has been all over this with the surface feature starting off as all snow before eventually transitioning to rain along the coast by mid day.

33 and rain lol.

I need some evidence that its still meteorologically possible for a flake to fall here. :lol:

 

What a joke this little event is. 925s and 850s below freezing on mesoanalysis, and we get rain? It must be snowing just a few hundred feet up.. looks like it too. The sky is a uniform grey with almost no texture

Weak lift. Zero dynamics.

Also I looked at HRRR sounding and it did have a warm layer around 850 mb, but it cooled as precip fell as modeled. There just isn't much precip though and it's light.

36 some sun and still full snow coverage in Sykesville.....5 days of snow cover...nice start to the year. Heading back to Leesburg later for a couple of days 

Full coverage here as well. Yesterday we drove out to Gettysburg via Liberty Rd (route 26) and the hardest hit area was in Carroll county approaching Ridge Rd (route 27). There was freezing rain and then snow still on the trees three days after the storm in those areas which is pretty darn good for December. Stopped by the covered bridges while we were out there.
