Its due to the angle of the radar beam. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PWC Split Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Took a short ride up in elevation a bit up Bull Run Mtn, at 650’ it was puking fatties, 750’ there was starting to be some stickage and 33F. On the way down 50/50 mix at 500’, at home at 450’ probably 25% big flakes. Hope to see 100% flakes in the next few minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wetbulbs88 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 It's unclear how folks like 45 miles SE of me are getting snow. Not a single flake. Temperature steady at 37-38 the entire day. I failed to take into account the rain to snow transition, which always happens far later than models depict. Hoping we break 3". Expectations very low now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Ramjet Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 11 minutes ago, MillvilleWx said: It's actually more of a product of the best is yet to come, but heaviest rates are over the eastern shore right now due to a strong 7H FGEN alignment and closer fetch off the Atlantic. We are in a traditional Miller B where the moisture transport is likely to be weak from southern stream influences outside what occurred this morning from a lead wave that was ripping ahead of the mean trough. This is going as planned, and unfortunately, the proxy of the low and general timing of when the 5H pattern is expected to close off and pass under us will benefit those further east and northeast and only offer a small consolation prize (outside the norlun trough). Was hoping the 5H pattern closed sooner which would've helped us a ton, but the 06z runs last night kind of started the very slow bleed the wrong way in that regard and it's basically going to be a "just missed" scenario for a bigger storm, but we still get some snow out of it, which we can't say for all Miller B's. Do you think the 5H is closing off now. Heavy snow here with all surfaces caving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
