Kmlwx Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Yeah basically, even base is starting to catch up though! No local obs of snow right around the metros though right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BethesdaWX Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Grlevel3 0.5 angle BR is much more believable with than wunderground 53% humidity . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TUweathermanDD Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 No local obs of snow right around the metros though right? Well radar is first firing on base so none yet but should be some soon with heavier returns breaking out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I've been under returns for 2 hours and zero snowflakes. low dewpoints have consequences. no forcing has way more consequence. if the air was fully saturated we might be getting 1-2 flakes per hour in the lighter rates. http://www.wundergro...eq_statename=NA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathervswife Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Nothing hitting the ground in the heavy stuff around Charlottesville.....Dewpoint is 11 btw, so no coincidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebman Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Warm advection is amazing Temps continue a slow steady rise even at night 33 degrees with a 24 dewpoint I expect to see 40 degrees by midnight I hate La Nina, but we're going to save on road salt and heating bills this "winter". Perhaps all the millions of dollars we will save in this mild snowless winter could be used to help pare down this monstrous deficit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmlwx Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Nothing hitting the ground in the heavy stuff around Charlottesville.....Dewpoint is 11 btw, so no coincidence. Also - the beam from the radar is hitting the precip at a higher elevation than places closer to the radar site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Also - the beam from the radar is hitting the precip at a higher elevation than places closer to the radar site. almost every single event starts with returns overhead that dont reach the ground for some time unless there is a thump snow. the vort is super weak.. we need rates to have any hope and so far there is not much hope.

No problem, although at first i have to admit i was like what the hell is he talking about when i looked out my window. Then like the total weenie that i am i went out in just my undershirt and boxers to confirm the 3 flakes. We have mangled flurries . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
