RTutton Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Seems like altitude is making all the difference right now, just as many of the experts on here stated for the last few days. Kudos. (Edit: Just basing this off people's observations and locations here in the thread, really. Not meant as a definitive statement.) I'd say you're mostly right, but BWI, Columbia and downtown Baltimore are all reporting some snow mixed in. But as far as accumulating snow yes I'd completely agree with you there.

WxUSAF Posted October 29, 2011 Author Share Posted October 29, 2011 Folks who are getting mostly/all snow, what's your surface temp? I'm still at 36-37F. Obviously that warm nose at around ~700mb is showing up. Will be interesting to see the 12z soundings for IAD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huffwx Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Only 2-3 inches out here in Massenutten. Radar look promising but the bands slide JUST to our east all night. It's all snow, but just not that heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amped Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 33.9 and heavy snow falling. Has only been snowing for 20 min now but already the grass areas have a good dusting. Looks like my mental alarm clock worked perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlizzardNole Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 ...Power is usually good here (Allegheny >> Pepco) but I'm worried only cause I have a full slate of college football to watch today and I know how Murphy works. (Go Hokies!) I was thinking the same thing -- even with just a thick dusting, some branches are already starting to droop. We've had good luck with Allegheny ever since we moved from one end of Germantown to the other and crossed the border out of Pepco territory. No problems in ice storms, Isabelle, or the psuhoffman wet snowstorm. (Go Noles!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWxLuvr Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Looks like my mental alarm clock worked perfectly. I thought you were Costanza and not Kramer. Anyway, snow really picking up here. Heavy. Just knocked snow off of the small trees and shrubs. Very heavy (weight) to the snow. If only the temp would drop about 2-3 degrees, we could save a lot of trouble.

North Balti Zen Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Can definitely confirm just rain in my part of NE Baltimore City. There have been a few scared flakes mixing in, but this is rain right now. Still hoping for enough of a changeover to whiten things up later. Really glad for those of you who are getting snow from this, just a really neat event for Oct. 29. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
