Ger Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Got some 20-25dbz returns popping around the oh/ky border with the first 500 ul energy swinging through. The optimistic weenie side of me is saying we see some flakes this evening before the big daddy rolls through after midnight. "big daddy?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TUweathermanDD Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 "big daddy?" Nowadays and for us this winter especially, everything is relative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 and then I did some investigating...none of the areas in the 90%+ RH on the RUC are reporting snow....I might get excited if I see a single snow ob somewhere i dont think any of my posts indicated it was going to be anything significant. but i have seen it snow at 40-50% RH so i don't totally buy the low dew argument even though i brought it up. the lack of good forcing is the main problem. im just finally coming around to wanting it to snow..

Bob Chill Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 "big daddy?" Well, not looking good for round 2 anymore but the original prog showed at least 145 flakes with the first vort and maybe as much as 960 flakes with the second vort. Now it looks like we'll take our 0-2 flakes and like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gymengineer Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Only one I've found so far: http://www.weather.gov/data/obhistory/KPKB.html Parkersburg, about an hour ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
das Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 and then I did some investigating...none of the areas in the 90%+ RH on the RUC are reporting snow....I might get excited if I see a single snow ob somewhere I'd be surprised to not see something at krlx in the next 30 minutes. 30-35dBZ incoming down low on the 0.5°tilt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gymengineer Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 On the back edge, Parkersburg was about 1.5 mi visibility. It looks like the snow lasted there for about an hour. The best anyone (WV or wherever) sees in this first pulse is probably like what we saw Christmas night 1993- a quick burst of intense snow that coats the roads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Today's activity in this thread pretty much sums up how bad our winter has been so far. The fact that we are analyzing a vort that at best drops a light dusting and hoping we just see flakes fall is kinda silly........but I'm all in anyway.

H2O Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Today's activity in this thread pretty much sums up how bad our winter has been so far. The fact that we are analyzing a vort that at best drops a light dusting and hoping we just see flakes fall is kinda silly........but I'm all in anyway. I like any snow chance regardless of amount. Sure, we all would like feet but there is something nice about a light event with high stickage probabilities. We follow Ian's and Marks severe threads with just as much fervor and you know how those turn out. Hi, Ian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BethesdaWX Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 He just made me a $500,000 bet that it will snow more than 30" at DCA in February If I had that kind of money freed up I would really make that bet with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
