  1. Curious to see if this is the start of a trend that might reveal itself more on the 18z guidance, or if the Euro is out to lunch again.
  2. Euro would be problematic for utility companies and DOT/fire departments.
  3. Off an on flurries, even a period of TV Snow™ earlier this afternoon in Reisterstown. We got a solid snow pack and it doesn't seem like it'll go anywhere over the next week. Very nice.
  4. For reference, here is the winter storm / ice storm warning criteria from LWX:
  5. Yup. Icing is an uneven distribution, and frankly 0.2" zr at 27 degrees is worse than a driving rain at 31 degrees.
  6. Just got out of EMT class. A couple.of snowflakes in Westminster off Kate Wagner Rd.
  7. LWXs watch lines up with WPCs icing area nicely:
  8. From an impact size, Event #1 could be the bigger event. Prolonged, light ZR / icing events can accrete much faster than heavier precip storms because of less latent heat release and faster accumulation on exposed or elevated surfaces. Unless it's in the low 20s, rainfall rates above 0.2"/hour won't convert to ice fast.
  9. LWX nailed their warning extension. Nicely done.
  10. Roads in New Windsor starting to cave. Temp down to 30.
  11. Sky opened up in New Windsor. Big fluffy snow sticking to everything except the roads.
  12. Same. Hoping for an epic boom for DCA and NAK.
  13. IAD reports M0.4" snow: Source: https://nwschat.weather.gov/lsr/#LWX/202102110000/202102110000/0100

  15. DCA reports M0.6" snow. Source: https://nwschat.weather.gov/lsr/#LWX/202102110000/202102110000/0100
  16. Got a couple of flakes starting in New Windsor. Not sure if there is a pocket of dry air or something.
  17. Looks like the gap in the radar is starting to fill up pretty quickly. Good to see.
