weathervswife Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I thought moving SE of CHO would hurt, but it's amazing out here. I must be stuck under some superband. I refuse to look at the radar. It's the kid in me. Kids are having a snowball fight and collecting snow on the back deck. Let me try to get a pic up.

Jebman Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 46 degrees with mostly cloudy skies. Blue sky can be seen to the north. OUCH Hoping for a couple flurries, but not holding my breath welcome to la nina in washington Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CranberryWX Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 In White Sulphur Springs, WV...currently steady moderate snow, very wet at 31F. about 2" on ground. We didn't hit snow on the way here until we were 5 miles away. Temperature was 38-40 on the car thermometer until we hit the snow and it dropped to 31-32.

SeVa Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Precip really does look to be making its way to the NE on radar. You guys in NoVa may be getting in on the action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmcwahoo Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Really snowing good in Richmond's west end. Nothing sticking though, makes you wonder what this could have done with a frozen ground to accumulate on. After dark could get interesting if this keeps up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qaanaaq Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Light snow at the moment. Dang it, I got to go cover my woodpile... Stardate CHO: I saw a snow flake- nobody panic or get too weenied-out. I'll keep posting every 100 flakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vastateofmind Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Why is DT calling it when it's really not over til it's over? That dude's hubris is without compare. I sat and attempted to read his WxRisk.com screed last night in slack-jawed awe -- I actually got stuck several times on, "Its NOT Luck or hype or happenstance that this event has broekn (sic) my way." ORLY? With the "event" pieces still technically coming together at the time and only remotely supporting your call? Crow is a dish best avoided altogether, as Mr. WxRisk is apparently finding out with each offer to pay subscribers back this afternoon. (Not that his sycophants on Lamebook are even noticing the "money back guarantee!" offer...they appear to keep cheering him on.) Currently 44 degrees here, temps dropped about 4 degrees in past 1.5 hours, clouds thickening/lowering even further in SW. That intense precip just south of Fredericksburg on radar looks like it could graze or even make it into the southern D.C. suburbs....here's hoping.

Stormhunter Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 i think the orientation of the precip can be misleading sometimes with these upper level lows. it may look like it's coming north, but they tend to be clustered around the low which still looks like it's headed mostly due east, not to mention some of these bands may get mangled as they cross the apps. i really don't expect anything significant (1-3") to make it up to DC. would be funny, though, if after all these ups and downs, the coastal forms a little further north and we end up with a couple inches. That 1-3"s near DC might just happen, and points ENE, with evening night temps to cool the ground and about 3-4 hours of light to moderate snow possibly on the way. The odds are not too bad. It looks like the the high res models are trying to catch up to the strength of the storm. Time will tell. I would expect a surprise for some anyway.

geothermal Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Just got back from a trip from the house (Very Eastern Powhatan Rt.288 and 711) to the county transfer station out Rt. 60W (15 miles). Visibilities were about 3/4 mile to perhaps 1/2mi at times, temp from 32 to 33 light to moderate snow. Accums from a trace to perhaps 1/2". Attached pic of front yard not much but at least it's accumulating snow, something I thought I wouldn't see this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southbridgemom Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Surprise me, surprise me Mother Nature! . Current temp in MBY 42.8, RH 43%. Not looking good in the short term, but we can dream, can't we?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amped Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Precip about to EFZ. That NRN edge should die out as rapidly falling pressures off the NC coast means the classic Miller B radar collapse maybe starting. I think the NRN end of the precip will weaken as the stuff in NRN NC becomes more organized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
