WxUSAF Posted October 29, 2011 Author Share Posted October 29, 2011 Accums are going to be on the low end, which should come as no surprise to anyone. Low compared to what? Don't talk out of your butt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

das Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Had switched to a light sleet/rain mix here in Clarksburg with a bump up in temp to 33.9°F. Back to snow now that the precip rate has increased and is dragging down some colder air. Back down to 32.8°F.

Huffwx Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 3 inches- 2 branches fell outside my room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ge0 Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 It's still a rain/snow mix, though snow is becoming more dominant... associated with the stronger precip. areas. Might go back to sleet/rain once the heavier stuff subsides. EDIT: 8:54 no more flakes falling... back to mostly rain with a little sleet. Yeah, you're right. It's definitely switching back and forth every few mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowfan Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Low compared to what? Don't talk out of your butt. Low compared to people expecting to see totals in the 4-8" range....as in you're going to see totals on the low end of that range. Really necessary to be an ass in your response?

Amped Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Roofs leaves and cars are getting some accum. I'm only at 275ft. If I drive 3 miles to braddock heights there's probably 2" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Yeah, you're right. It's definitely switching back and forth every few mins. It's heavily about rates at lower elev so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 you need to cool it. and what is your location, please. not all of us live in the immediate metro area and so will have higher accums. my forecast is 6-10" and it is snowing moderately here with huge flakes. Everyone should cool it a bit. Outside elevation the obs don't seem to support hitting the high range this far at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Balti Zen Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Some sleet and fat flakes mixed in for a time up harford rd straddling citycounty line in balt, but mostly a steady cold rain. Sent from my DROIDX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterymix Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Here in Reisterstown, we are getting something like graupel and/or partially melted and then re-frozen sleet. BTW, my driveway is slush-covered and some trees are getting an ominous look to them with branches that once stood proud, now slumping with the weight of iciness.

snowfan Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 you need to cool it. and what is your location, please. not all of us live in the immediate metro area and so will have higher accums. my forecast is 6-10" and it is snowing moderately here with huge flakes. My location (Baltimore City) is irrelevant. The statement was for the entire area, not just the metro areas. I'll be shocked if you get anything even close to 10" where you are. Unless you're N/NW of northern Frederick, Carroll or Baltimore counties, you're likely not going to see anything significant. It'll make for nice pictures in other areas, but that's about it. I could be completely wrong, but based on OBS right now, realized accums are going to be on the low end of the ranges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still kinda early but many at lower elev are pulsing back and forth with rates it seems. I don't think this will go super late into the day.. we'll see. As long as we keep getting banding redevloping around CHO I think most realistic ranges are still in the game at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clueless Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Very large snowflakes. Moderate dusting on grass and patio. The road is covered, though. Looks like a sloppy mess even at 562 feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThreeRedheads Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Sleet switched to snow about 845. Back to some heavy sleet from 9-920. Sounds like just rain right now. Weatherbug has me at 33. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah...this is really two pulses; the second pulse still getting its act together. I made a faulty post last night about the snow respecting the I-81 corridor...this storm is a wild thing. It seems that a good forecast technique for this storm would be to take the NAM and warm the output very slightly; or take the GFS and cool the output a bit. Here is Reisterstown, we just flipped from some sort of sleety mix to heavy, wet snowflakes with high water content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
