SmokeEater Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 If you're going by the ASOS... don't. It doesn't know the difference between sleet and.. well, just about everything else It could be sleet or sleet/snow mix, no way for ASOS to know. Nah man, going off somebody who's there, lol. My Dad. Said it's been snowing for the last 20 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully that will change as we have been testing a new ASOS present weather sensor at the office this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph Wiggum Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Airmass is just so darn dry. Already wasting precip trying to saturate the column. I'm seeing this as more a general 1-2" event for most with some 3 or 4 inch total somewhere in central MD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyager Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Dewpoint dropped from 23 to 10 at TTN between 6PM and 7PM. Youch! +5 here with a temp of 26. Doubt we see much more than flurries here unless we saturate some, but this isn't our storm anyway. 0-2 inches would be the best bet here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAPPG Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Airmass is just so darn dry. Already wasting precip trying to saturate the column. I'm seeing this as more a general 1-2" event for most with some 3 or 4 inch total somewhere in central MD. I tend to agree. Here in NW Montco, ....after a quick hard fall on the DP, I just bounced off 14 to 15, humidity went 48 to 51. Still very low with staedy north wind @4. We will awake to powder puff dry snow.
