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...
chris21 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. 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...
Mrs.J Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Wind whipped snow in Federick, not sticking My station is at 33.2 not sure how accurate that is, and the snow is sticking to the grass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solo2 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Car tops and grass with a very light dusting already...mod snow and windy. 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...

PrinceFrederickWx Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 What's weird? There's a chance of snow. Other than that one short range model Ellinwood posted, I haven't seen anyone on here mentioning snow possibilities for the BWI area this evening.

PrinceFrederickWx Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 LWX has a 30% chance. the fact no weenies here have predicted snow is meaningless. Yeah but I didn't hear anything from the smart people on here either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mock me all you want, but I haven't seen anyone other than Ellinwood mention this. There's been a chance of snow for tonight in my point and click forecast for three days.
