Grothar of Herndon Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 heavy snow now Good call on arrival. I should be seeing flakes in 15 to 20 minutes. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris87 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 yeah i saw that. i know not all of them pick up in cloud lightning. does it you know? the LMA will pick up both intra-cloud and cloud-to-ground strikes (NLDN is only cloud-to-ground)...it's pretty nice to have one over the region, only a few in the country.

TUweathermanDD Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 The evening event is pretty well modeled at this point. Snow starts around 8-9 pm in farther northern locales an rotates through DC metro over the next couple hours. Not sure about rates. But at least it will be snow and if will be cold and windy As this band does east that will be pulled down later tonight, rates could exceed a quarter of an inch and hour it looks like, with some places getting an inch. Inverted troughs are hard to get rates and qpf as well as their slow movement correct, so we could see a little entertainment in DC/Baltimore later tonight, not to mention it will be cold with maybe some good snow growth and certainly some dendrites rather than conglomerates.

MN Transplant Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Temp just shot up to 41.1 here. Can I blame the sun for the temps and thank it for the destabilization at the same time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris87 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 actually this vid caught thunder http://yfrog.com/n4i5jxz sweet...LMA fail...unless there is something wrong...i have a friend who did some research on the jan 26th 2011 case, he's always looking for thundersnow cases, interestingly enough, they're finding that a good number of lightning strikes associated with snow had strikes which originate from large towers which are above cloud base.

TUweathermanDD Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Whoever gets the part of the squall near brunswick will do best, as that part is pretty wide relative to the rest of the line, thats where it could pound for 20-30mins.
