Nikolai Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Banding on radar is actually becoming quite impressive, it looks as though we should have two periods of +SN before any changeover. For those who have to commute, I would imagine it will be nasty. LWX drops the ball again but I guess that's a good thing because every time they do decide it's going to snow, it doesn't.

mdhokie Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 no snow or any precip for that matter up here near BWI Wonder if we will start as a little bit of snow like you folks in Nova? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herb@MAWS Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Standing by here in Columbia. Temps since Xmas evening have fluctuated between 29 and 34. Current = 31.7, before precip begins. Hoping evap'l cooling will get us back to 29 or so for a few hrs after precip's onset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2O Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 I'm impressed with how the temps dropped last night. Went to bed at 10 and was at 42. Temps now are 29-30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Random flakes just began. I'm pretty cool for so close to the cities. 30 degrees. Might lose 1-2 when the heavier rates set in. Heh, you guys let me know when this awful storm with my name on it is acceptable enough for me not to change my screen name and start over.

Stormhunter Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Nothing here yet at the Mason Dixon Line 2 miles south of Ski Liberty PA. Very Cold at 27, I think many will stay freezing for a longer duration today. Moisture having a hard time getting above the MD line. The little snow cover we had kept temps down, along with the cloud cover occuring just after some partly cloudy skys just before sunset allowed for some extra cooling. These small things can help a CAD and I'm not sure if models can pick these things up. I would not be surprised to see a sinificant sleet storm for the extreme NW burbs.
