snowdude Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 precip shadow wasnt too friendly 95 and west. nam did well. Yeah it did, and the WRF NMM still brings us a chance overnight into early morning, but my confidence isn't too high with it. What do you think?

Though radar needs to start at least improving a little bit shortly. Looks very underwhelming right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks very underwhelming right now. yeah tho 12z nam radar was dead through about 5z then it started "blowing up" over the eastern side of the apps etc. there is more moisture available now.. the vortmax track just looked more iffy in later runs.

Trying to decide how I feel about staying up so late last night for the dumb Quadrantids...don't think I can pull two really late nights. Somebody should come to my house and ring my doorbell nonstop if it starts snowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdsofprey02 Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Light dusting in North-Eastern Maryland; radar looks like we have about another 25 minutes or so of snow here. Very light dusting, cars/sidewalk/tips of grass covered. Nice to see, most including myself thought this little passing vort was going to get eaten up by dry air. Bel Air, MD this morning about 5am... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Balti Zen Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Wow, congrats Bel Air. Trash can lid dusting here, nothing on ground. I am recording it as my 3rd "T" of this abomination of a snow season so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickinBaltimore Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 In Dundalk this morning on my way to work there was a light dusting on the ground, and a little more on the grass and trash cans lids, tops of cars. Was a definite surprise when I got up this morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I'm kind of happy we didn't even get a dusting. I don't feel like updating my sig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Since this seems to be a widespread source of confusion...from an official meteorological reporting perspective, a trace of snow or rain is ONE observed snowflake/raindrop up to as many as can occur without .01" of liquid getting into the bucket or 0.1" of snow on the ground. You don't need a dusting or to be able to see it on the ground for a trace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't need a dusting or to be able to see it on the ground for a trace. I actually do know that, but since I would have been asleep for Schrödinger's snowflake, I would have needed something on the ground when I took the dog for a walk (6:00 am) to prove that I had actually received snow overnight. As such, no need to update my sig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
