MAG5035 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I hope this isn't too OT, but I had to vent to folks who understand. This is an e-mail I just got from the booking agent of a concert in Baltimore tonight.... "i dont plan on cancelling the show! mainly because i don't think it'll snow but also because it should be too warm today for snow?? low of 30 sooo fingers crossed " Is this really how she's making her decision??! people..... that is pretty lol-tastic, although I guess it would depend on the time of the show.

Dropped 3° in one hour. I'm down to 31.1º, I'm still surprised that the trees are hanging with ice. I figured there would be a time this morning where I'd have temps like that 38, but guess it never happened. That cold air must've started bleeding into the central valleys early today.

This arctic air means business. I wouldn't be surprised to see some high ratios (higher amounts) later tonight.

afvet89 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 WRF looks ugly for MDT metro just thinking the same thing. I think the precip shield is gonna be further north than that. Not far enuf to help us but hopefully far enuf north to help the MDT guys some. Btw, I had 8.5 last nite. Freakin sweet!.. and surprising as well.

Especially since it's falling after sunset for the most part Yea thats a potential wildcard to keep an eye out for. I would think there will be some great snow growth and with surface temps prolly getting down thru the 20s later in the eve, there could be some 15:1 ratios could pop up in places when the heavy stuff gets in here. If some heavier bands punch up northeast enough, that possible enhanced ratio could jack up the snows a couple more inches in say southern Clearfield and southern Centre. I bet someone in the Laurels see 12+ tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasternUSWX Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Temp is falling like a rock. Was 37 (7 degrees off from the high) and now 35. Down 2 degrees in 1hr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Festus Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Discussion from MU's Horst... Sorry for the delay updating...crazy busy! Tonight's storm is fascinating in that it's small, potent, and fast-moving...and it could dump up to a foot of snow on a small "sweet spot"! My bet is that Garrett county MD and Somerset county PA will be that sweet spot (highlighted on my Storm Outlook map below). Here in Lancaster, we'll be on the northern edge of the heavy snow band as it tapers eastward along the Mason-Dixon Line. I slight shift north/south, in the west-to-east storm track, would give us a couple inches more/less. My 2- to 5-inch forecast is the most likely outcome. Like the storm on January 26th, most of our snow will fall in a 6- to 8-hour period (8:00pm to 3:00am) and it could fall heavily for a short time. One important aspect of this storm is that Arctic air will be pressing in from the North throughout the night. So, while temperatures this afternoon are in the mid 30s, they will fall through the 20s tonight and perhaps reach the upper teens by dawn. The advance of this cold, dry air will help cut off the steady snow sometime between midnight and daybreak, so the faster the cold air moves in the faster the snow will end (and the less snow we'll get). I do expect the snow to be out of here before daybreak, so that the clean up can begin early Tuesday. Partly sunny skies will return, but Arctic air will hold temps below normal through Wednesday before a warming trend develops late in the week. Might this be winter's parting shot at the Lancaster area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
