Snowciopathic Snow Bro Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Gainesville: Interesting that the cul-de-sac asphalt surface is now completely white, but grassy surfaces remain bare. Pretty much indiciative of how cold the road surface is. No sun angle to worry about at night. Normally my observation has been that grassy surfaces whiten up first while the roads stay wet for a time before accumulation sets in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verbatim it’s meh with 4-5” across the area. But it has an intense band of precip from 16-19z across the area as sleet but it’s super close. It’s only +1 at about 750 mb. Every other layer is fine. This is 700 which is the closest layer I can get represented but it’s close to the warmest layer. If it’s 1* colder across this area from 16-19z it would be 10” instead of 4” This trend has been on the last 2 runs and now it’s super close to a better result How easy would you say it is to bust even 0.5*C cold in the upper levels for this type of setup?

Fingers crossed we don't flop to ZR, or getting home might be an issue in the morning. 8F and sleet. That's remarkable. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn’t be me. This. I'm lit and just happy to have something going on. It's gonna snow for a while and hopefully we get some good rates 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clskinsfan Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 On VA road Cams. It is snow all the way down 81 as far as I cared to look. And it will take A LOT longer to scour out the cold up here. Stay up and watch it stack up. Or go to bed and wake up buried. We are all gonna get hammered. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big difference between dealing with people being contrarian in long range and actual eyewitness accounts showing unfavorable trends at game time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baltosquid Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 FWIW the RRFS looks pretty accurate with the sleet line looking at correlation coefficients vs its model output at 00z for 11pm. DC 5.4 and Baltimore 7.8 internal ratios. That's lower for DC from 18z but higher for Baltimore, and there are actually some higher totals south of DC so I think it just got unlucky with banding on this particular run. Was pretty much better everywhere else except that dry slot. No idea how it plays out but it's way too early to say the changeover is gonna swallow us by 8am or anything.

TowsonWeather Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Watching the virga/radar hole that now occupies an apparently permanent snow-repelling rip in the space-time continuum in the skies above Baltimore and feeling sorry for myself. One day, perhaps far into the future, my children's children's children will be mind-typing "Ooh, Baltimore's really getting the goods early this storm!" into their virtual ether communicators, and the story of their ancestors and The Great Balmer Snow Drought will be a fuzzy and distant memory that has faded into legend. I envy those young snow lovers. I shall picture them laughing and frolicking and bounding through the drifts into their anti-grav plasma boots as I sob quietly into my pillow tonight until the unbearable pain finally, mercifully whisks me away to a blissful nothingness. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
