mappy Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 The local wxbug says 29 and 12 dp. As the precip moves in, I'd expect the dews to climb and surface to remain close to steady. We'll see how long we stay snow, but it'll be interesting to see how long mapgirl, about 10 miles northwest stays frozen. Why will that be interesting?

WxUSAF Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Looks like the lull in precip comes for an hour or two around 9-10z and then the 2nd batch is in 11-12z. Probably all snow for folks north of DC for the first batch methinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I'm being a bit of a weenie, but my changeover, even north and west of Bmore, may be from the east. I think Wes alluded to an easterly component yesterday. I it should be from the s & w. Upper flow from the sw and 850's will retreat from that direction. Surface will prob be from the east and se though. Your glazed snow sleet combo may start melting before mine. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathervswife Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 WOW!! Heavy snow near Cville. Everything blanketed in white. Can't believe it. *FREAKING OUT** even snowing in Lynchburg now, per HUFF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usedtobe Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Nothing here and my temp has actually gone up to 30.9 which is about 1.8 degrees from its low. RH is 34% so it should cool once the snow starts hitting the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxmeddler Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 We have 4 TDWR's around the area along with Sterling providing low level scans DCA TDWR is seeing where the line is like night and day. From IAD and DCA I can see the precip line is from Rt. 50 in VA down to 495 and down the potomac. Almost of a rounded shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nw baltimore wx Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Why will that be interesting? Only ten miles apart as the crow flies, and I think you do way better. As I'm sure you know, there is a ridge between us and even with my altitude compared to the harbor, I tend to get "city" weather as compared to "country" weather. I've lived here for 7 years, but I'm still learning the nuances. Down with the torch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormpc Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Temp has tanked down to 26.9. Light steady snow. Hopefully the 2nd batch will still be snow when it arrives after midnight. Have my doubts. Up north, you shall do well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
