Bob Chill Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Couple of 30-35dbz returns showing up in the line approaching winchester and luray area. I'm going to time my errands so I'm driving around as it passes through. Should be a nice scene this afternoon. Cold, high winds, and off and on snow. What's not to like?

Ian Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I dont see that happening...do you?....look where the squall line is now?...that's like 1.5 to 2.5 hours away? 5 would be a big stretch it seems. I'm not sure it's only 2 hours off from here tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winterymix Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Visible satellite shows the front still entering WV panhandle. Squalls breaking out well ahead of the front are rapidly intensifying. Fun times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I think 330 for DC... 415 for Balt temps are pretty mild... might just be fun to watch here at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalcottWx Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 temps are pretty mild... might just be fun to watch here at least. They are mild, for sure. I have gained a new mental definition of a warm BL here. However, I can hardly remember a disappointing squall situation. Brief heavy snow with visibility well under a mile usually brings a smile to my face and a weenie rush to the soul. The cold temps aloft being advected combined with the heavy echos will have no problem making it all snow here likely. Haven't heard much of a mention of SG though but it is usually big ol' fat dendrites in squall/windex events. Can't look myself, BUFKIT ports are blocked by my university. I just expect a half hour of mod-hvy with likely potential to accumulate on grassy surfaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snownerd Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 This band is awesome, huge flakes, probably picked up 1/2 an inch in 5 minutes. I'll try to get up a picture soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember one I think in 07 after dark that pummeled us with 1" pretty quick.. Hence wanting it to come closer to sunset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVclimo Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Its arriving here later than my earlier guess. Visibility is dropping and some snow has begun. Temp at the high for the day at 36. Wind right now is variable 5-10 mph. Expect that to ramp up pretty sharply as the barometer has really plunged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
