clskinsfan Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Radar looks like major sleet over DC right now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiscaster Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Side streets in NW DC now getting covered in white. It turned back to sleet here about 10 minutes ago on the shores of the Anacostia in SE DC. All paved surfaces have remained just wet throughout. I saw hints of white on the boardwalk along the river during a heavier snowburst, but no more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scraff Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Moderate snow. Roads with a nice white coating. If this could even hold for an hour, I call it a win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Nice to see it in action locally with ground obs to verify it. The hydrometeor setting is a bit iffy .. Still learning how to use it all. Weird little mix zones today. The hydrometeor setting is bad. Just for an interesting ground-truth exercise, here is the current shot. Anyone above the line should be snow, and below the line a mix to rain. Observations to the contrary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Must be more than a half inch now...maybe close to an inch on the deck...snow is coming down nicely...regular sized flakes for those who care Yeah, closing in on an inch here on the deck, probably half an inch in the street.

snowfan Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 The lack of snow since 09/10 has messed with our ability to differentiate between light, moderate and heavy snow. I'd call this light snow...teetering on moderate. Certainly not heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herb@MAWS Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Grass, streets and sidewalks are whitening-up under steady all-snow. Temp down in past 20 mins from 31.0 to 30.8, the low for the day (it was down to 29.4 yesterday evening before clouds moved in and temps started rising to a max of 34.2 overnite and then backed down to 31.7 pre-onset of precip earlier this morning. High temp since 6am today = 32.2) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avdave Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 And now the sirens I heard them and are they going to your house? Quick vid when the snow was really coming down ten mins ago or so http://youtu.be/ZYPDckbng5M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clskinsfan Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 I'm sitting right on 1.5 new snow on the deck rail. I'm just over an inch. I think we stay snow for a while now. Decent N/E wind seems to be dong the trick. Good call there. The roads are a real mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
