Ellinwood Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Of course in my short drive from work to my home in SW Gaithersburg 2-3 mile visibility light snow turns into a light flurry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoast NPZ Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Light snow for about the last 1.5 hours here. Temp hasn't budged from 36F. White rain, and nothing more. By the time the sun goes down, and the snow would have a chance to stick; it'll be long gone. Can't wait for summer to give me some other reason to hate the weather here.

Symblized Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Flurries and sprinkles here in Federal Hill in Baltimore. Started about a half hour ago. No stickage on any surfaces yet so far as I can see. Cartops and sidewalks are starting to look wet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I guess it was a temporary drop here. 40/29 now for me. Made it up to 41.3 before losing about a degree in the last 20 minutes. 43 at DCA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I'm in Baltimore and it's been flurrying on and off for about 10 minutes. One very quick burst of big flakes and then it shut off immediately. Back to very light flurries now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I kept thinking while watching radar yesterday that the precip shield was pretty much ragged the whole day. Not much is really changing. I'm sure there will be a period of higher rate stuff as the vort rotates through but we really need steady precip to work on surface temps. Looks like it will be off and on with varying intensities until the best lift comes through. No big deal though. My expectations were set properly.

ACFD FIREMAN Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Finally radar showing some real signs of life in NVA Hopefully those heavier echoes transport some colder air down and change my rain to snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ji Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 It's probably a 3-5 hour event here. Hopefully we can get a period of decent rates later this afternoon and get some minor stickage. we punted November,December,January and now February. I am not willing to punt March Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellinwood Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Not quite sure why anyone thought this event would come in like gangbusters and steady snow immediately. No model had measurable precip before around 2pm. This is all pretty standard. +1000 People like to extrapolate the radar before the system has even fully developed... filling-in FTW.

Ian Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 +1000 People like to extrapolate the radar before the system has even fully developed... filling-in FTW. we're losing like 2/3 to 3/4 of precip here in dc at the least.. just seeing snow falling was awesome in october. feb naso much.

Bob Chill Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Not quite sure why anyone thought this event would come in like gangbusters and steady snow immediately. No model had measurable precip before around 2pm. This is all pretty standard. Absolutely agree. I did my best to "envision" what to expect once people started throwing around 2-3-even 4" totals yesterday. Temps were too suspect for that. Heck even with a cold surface those totals would have been an absolute best case scenario and we know how often that happens. I set my sights on a slushy inch best case and that is looking to probably be a bit too optimistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I-83 BLIZZARD Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Flurries in downtown Baltimore. Called back home and half an inch on ground in southern York county. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 +1000 People like to extrapolate the radar before the system has even fully developed... filling-in FTW. In this case extrapolating radar would have been a reason to doubt anything "decent" today. I hope I didn't imply that I was exptrapolating radar because I know better than that. I was just looking at it as reference to how organized the shield was and for the most part it wasn't organized much at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 You mean in terms of not accumulating? Yes. I don't get your point? It is a minor non-impact event in all likelihood. You werent expecting different? no point really. im not sure who you were addressing in your original post. the whole radar thing goes both ways as well.. last weekend we had people all excited about rd two even though it was apparent it was not going to do much areawide when it was all showery looking to the west.
