BethesdaWX Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Training ftw, 1.03" total and still coming down good. Another expansive batch of 45dbz on the way up so maybe some folks reach 1.5". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snownut Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 my least favorite winter weather. 1.35" total and temps between 32.2 and 34.7 for entire event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterWxLuvr Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 Periods of heavy rain overnight. Amazing that precip has no trouble at all making into our area provided we are above freezing. 1 degree is fine. Just make sure it is over 32 and we're good to go. Thinking about tomorrow, likely windy, cold, dry, with bare ground, I think it may be time to just hope for an all out torch. It would be much better than what tomorrow will be.

WVclimo Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 LWX zone forecasts issued at 12:30 p.m. have up to an inch of accumulation tonight for Washington and Frederick counties in Md., but little or no snow accumulation for Eastern Allegany, Carroll, and Berkeley County, WV. That's some pinpoint forecasting there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWxLuvr Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 Periods of heavy rain overnight. Amazing that precip has no trouble at all making into our area provided we are above freezing AT SOME LEVEL OF THE ATMOSPHERE WHERE PRECIPITATION IS ACTUALLY OCCURRING. 1 degree is fine. Just make sure it is over 32 and we're good to go. Thinking about tomorrow, likely windy, cold, dry, with bare ground, I think it may be time to just hope for an all out torch. It would be much better than what tomorrow will be. OK, had to edit the above post for the occassional dumba** who might wander in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BethesdaWX Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 for decent dendrite growth you need temps under 0C. I think it was a tongue in cheek post, it only precipitates when it's above freezing, duh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mappy Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 My point and click is the same as yours Trixie - no thunder though Tonight: A chance of rain showers before 1am, then rain and snow showers likely between 1am and 4am, then a chance of snow after 4am. Cloudy, with a low around 35. Breezy, with a south wind 6 to 9 mph becoming west between 19 and 22 mph. Winds could gust as high as 33 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%. Total nighttime snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterWxLuvr Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 Cold air is screaming across KY. Lexington went from 44 and rain to 32 and snow in the last hour with winds gusting in the 40 mph range. Pretty cool that the whole state of KY is under wwa. Some precip is lingering behind the cold air in west TN. Who knows, maybe some will hang on for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellinwood Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 HRRR gets just a bit better with each run. I don't know how much to trust it though. I've been watching it, too... could certainly believe some snowfall in the "thump" period as it switches over from rain, but accumulation is probably overdone east of the mountain: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha yeah I was tempted to try to go find those so called discussions of the past but sounds like a waste of time. If the AK super low comes back as it looks might be time to write it all off.

WinterWxLuvr Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 Guys, have there been any noteable post frontal snows in this area? This type of setup? Is it the mountains that keep us from getting the snows like, say, Ky is getting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it the mountains that keep us from getting the snows like, say, Ky is getting? Not this same setup- but four fairly recent ones: 3/8/95 11/11/95 3/4/99 3/8/05 All were 1-4" in the suburbs, and all were rain/thunderstorm flips to snow with no break in precip.
