Ellinwood Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Snow on the ground is melting faster than the light snow showers can replace it... just a dusting left out there now in SW Gaithersburg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind it so much since I stayed up to watch most of it accumulate....kind of lessens the pain of it melting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deck Pic Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I'm kind of dubious of this squall line.....The front is somewhere near Frostburg MD I would guess....If we are going to get a squall line associated with a wind shift and rapid drop in temps I think we will see it develop by 1pm or so?...

BTRWx Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 What would be causing the moisture to be drying up so much? The dew-points don't look all that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVclimo Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Looks like the front from Allegany Co. Md, south through Grant Co. WV down to Shenandoah Co. VA. Should be through here in an hour, to western DC suburbs by 1:00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aldie 22 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Still very light snow with a mix of big and small flakes...no sun here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deck Pic Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 That HRRR loop looks nice and then has like another line dropping in from a North to South motion after it...hope so another thing to watch later is a band/area of snow moving south/southest I assume in association with the departing coastal but maybe also with vort passing well to our south.....this would be later this evening...all the models have shown it....

EastCoast NPZ Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Hours of light snow last night produced a whopping dusting on the grass and elevated surfaces. Not a single flake on any hard surface. Predictably, very soon after the snow started to stick in the grass (early AM); it stopped, only to start again later this AM once the sun was up, and the temps were safely above freezing. What little snow we got, is now all gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVclimo Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 An hour of sun has just raked away most of the snow. Hopefully it added some instability, like in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
