9z HRRR for the convective squall this afternoon, should be fun, not sure how many are aware but DC has a lightning mapping array, which will be interesting to watch to see if we do get any lightning with the squall passage,

I need something to beat my trace from last night/this morning. I grew up in lake effect country so squalls and I go way back!

Here's a nice image from Jan 26 of last year from the DC LMA (Note: these are not strikes but sources, which are then reconstructed to into a 3-d representation of each lightning strike):

Nice picture man. No grass visible? I think it was you who said all you wanted was an event where you can't see the grass afterwards...looks like you got it.

I'm home for the weekend -- Hopefully the "squail" doesn't fail.

Yup, it's the biggest event of the season here :lol: , and certainly more than I expected :)

The snow just stopped recently, but it was pretty light when I woke up.

Can't wait till the squail!

Went to bed at 3am with a mix, got up at 7 to nothing, so I didn't really see any true snow. Just wet ground here. 33. The prospects of a squall or 2 are nice, but they are usually scattered so many will get screwed. Thunder and lightning and a flash freeze possibility...finally a winter day around here. Light activity from CHO to Orange seems to be breaking up or weakening.

WOW, nice scene outside, the snow is covering the trees and everything except the roads. Looks like we got at least an inch, but I haven't measured. But it's really picturesque.

Better than the last two events IMO

Very pretty over here too! Snow already stopped when i woke up (about 30 minutes ago). Was snowing nicely around midnight. Not sure how much I have here. Long Green on the other side of the Reservoir got 1 inch

Much less here in Clarksburg. 0.8". Maybe the squall line this afternoon can fix that.

I'm surprised that 6 mi to the west has less. It started as snow here and pretty much remained snow the entire time. I think I recall you posted that it was raining for a time in Clarksburg?

Yup, it didn't switch over to snow until 9pm. I'm at 565ft and think you are a bit higher. That was probably what did it.

Edited to add: it's snowing again.

Ha it sure is! If you look at the radar, the atmosphere is so moist that echoes that barely show, like what's over us now, have snow reaching the ground. Looks like a patch developing in SW Fred Co? (I was looking at Weather Underground FWIW)
