WVclimo Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Front is here already. Winds just ramped up quickly, gusting above 30. The sky to my NNW is illuminated from the lights at Whitetail, and the clouds look like they do when a summer thunderstorm is moving in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhineasC Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Heavy squalls here. Maybe an inch? Impossible to know with the wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad1551 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Seems like I get all the wind events on trash night/day. When I come home from college or work I am playing the game, where is Waldo with my trash can top. I would like too play where is Waldo with my snow shovel. LOL!

WVclimo Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Compressional heating with the approach of the front mixed out all the low-level cold that had built up with the radiational cooling earlier. Have jumped from 35.7 to 42.7, about where it was late this afternoon. Precip on the doorstep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVclimo Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Rain changing over to snow here now. Temp falling a degree every 4-5 minutes. Still too warm to stick. Winds generally 20-30 mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midatlanticweather Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Oh man! West to east movement! I am wondering if we get a DC split! Let's see! Faquier will get it and Montgomery county but me in Sterling and even in DC may get robbed! Unless we get new development or enhancement east of the mountains! But I have that feeling - it is a feeling now, and I may be wrong, but I have seen it in many summertime squalls. Jimmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midatlanticweather Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Actually, not as impressive as I thought. looked at it on 2 different radars.. one had me more hooked that something may fall, the other looks pitiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVclimo Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 as I noted, 44 at the last reading for KMRB, and it is now sticking to grass. wvclimo noted from his wx station ~10 miles N of me that once the front came in the temps have been dropping steadily. I don't fabricate obs. By the time the temp dropped enough here, the heavier echoes from the squall line had slipped south of me. You were in the better rates longer. I got a cartop dusting, but that's about it. Fun night to watch though. 7:00 clear skies and 36, 9:00 rain and 43, now light snow and 34. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVclimo Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 the car is clean (YAY! less to clean at 6 am) and there is a dusting on the grass. totally unexpected and therefore so welcome. bring on next weekend! Yes. Would be nice to have something more to get excited about than a snow shower with a passing vort. Hell, I pulled an all-nighter for an inch-and-a-half and some sleet already this winter. Bring on February ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not accusing you of any fabrication, just an interesting observation, thought that was your actual temp while snow was sticking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris21 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 at heavier rates, snow can accumulate above 32F. Clearly, just never seen it at 44, but that the top of the hour ob, so obviously temp fell from that point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TradeWinds Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 squall coming through Ballenger Creek area of Frederick.
