The Ole Bucket Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Ground isn't quite frozen in central VA.. but it didn't get above freezing yesterday and we're starting out this morning at 16F. Plenty of cold available. A couple peeks of sun but otherwise cloudy and the air is filled with both anticipation and water vapor. Dew point up to 7F.

Mrs.J Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 11 deg this morning with the sun shining slightly covered by sheer clouds. Will be out most of today as Wednesdays are my very busy day.

CAPE Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 13.5* when i left for work. We have the cold, now lets do this front end thump. Whatever happens tomorrow idc..dry slot, sleet, snizzle, drizzle...maybe a bit more snow with the deform band tomorrow evening. Looks kinda weak on the NAM compared to previous runs.

SLPressure Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Low of 14 this morning. Up to 17 with dewpoint at 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast NPZ Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Overnight low of 8 or 10F, depending on which station to believe. Anxiously anticipating....... 7" will get me to climo. 10" would get me over 30" and make this a pretty nice winter, as well erase the stench of last Monday's epic failure.

terpsnation Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 20 degrees at my work in Arlington. Hopeful that we can creep a few degrees below the forecast and see if we can get a good performance tonight w/out worrying about a switchover.

Hopeful that we can creep a few degrees below the forecast and see if we can get a good performance tonight w/out worrying about a switchover. Don't sweat surface obs today. We'll all be below freezing at onset. Switchover worries come from stuff happening overhead. Surface will have little impact on ptype tomorrow.

Pityflakes Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Low of around 16. Ground is frozen. Good cold air mass in place. Won't lose much to melting/evaporation on the front end, even if rates are light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surface will have little impact on ptype tomorrow. Good point. I'm just pulling for 6 inches or more, which I feel should be doable even w/ the upper level temps being questionable after tomorrow morning. Though I also live about 3 miles from DCA, so I have that going against me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighStakes Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 yeah 3" or so at my house too ... how do you think we will do? I'm just not sure on this one. Usually this late in the game I would commit to a number, but I'm having trouble figuring out the deformation band later tomorrow afternoon into the evening. This is your first true Miller A coastal since your move to Parkton and these are the type of storms with the right set up can go to town in northern Carroll and Baltimore Counties because of the rolling hills. There are a good number of models that keep it snowing late into the evening. As the storm winds down we may see some rotating bands swinging through that get enhanced due to our elevation. Sorry to get so long winded but these are the real fascinating storms for north central MD. We might even mix for a time after the initial thump and before the deform bands sets up. I take a stab and say 12 inches is a good bet for us. All bets are off if the deform rocks us though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least 6" on the ground by dawn should be a lock. But yeah, I do except some mixing for a time tomorrow before going back to all snow. And I agree, if we get into that deform band, we are golden for double digits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
