WVclimo Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Sheets of snow. Wind gust to 36. Visibility 1/8" mile. Accumulating at 36 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snownerd Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Well that was fun while it lasted. It was almost like a rollercoaster, fun for the brief moment you are on it, then you have to get back in line and wait for hours to go again.

TalcottWx Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Impressive if reliable. Is this a new model? It seems popular lately. It's been around for at least a couple years. It's usually best determining if an event will occur, but not where it will occur. If that makes sense. I've found it to be much crappier with thunderstorms.

gymengineer Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 2/18/07. Heavy snow. Dumped just under an inch in short order around 4:30 pm We still had much of the sleet-pack on the ground, so the snow was really pretty making everything covered again.

TalcottWx Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Anyone else just feel like this is completely wrong? I feel like once precip starts BL will be overcome almost everywhere? (maybe not in a canoe out in Ches Bay) SHORT TERM FORECAST NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BALTIMORE MD/WASHINGTON DC 1154 AM EST SAT FEB 11 2012 .NOW... A LINE OF SNOW AND RAIN SHOWERS WILL MOVE THROUGH THE METROPOLITAN WASHINGTON DC AND BALTIMORE AREAS THROUGH THE EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS. SNOW WILL BE MOST LIKELY ACROSS THE WESTERN SUBURBS WHERE TEMPERATURES REMAIN IN THE MIDDLE 30S. CLOSER TO THE METRO AREAS AND CHESAPEAKE BAY WHERE TEMPERATURES ARE IN THE UPPER 30S TO NEAR 40...PRECIPITATION TYPE WILL MAINLY BE RAIN WITH A FEW SNOW FLAKES MIXED IN.

WVclimo Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Intense squall was basically a five minute deal here. Whitened the ground quickly. If you get into a band for 15 minutes I can easily see an inch pile up in that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snownerd Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 After the band passed I can see down into the valley again. I am guessing we picked up 3/4" in 30 minutes (on top of the 1" from last night/this morning). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think that's going to end up wrong. Also, we've got a pre-band trying to form just to our west. I hope that doesn't screw up the real show for us.
