North Balti Zen Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I'm a dummy but I see nothing in the next week to 10 days worth watching I, for one, am looking forward to seeing a 12 - 18 inch hammering of snow fall across the Piedmont and southern viriginia on January 32nd while we obsessively chase 1" up this way, all along telling ourselves "it has to come north" and "north trend" over 27 model runs... Its what we are now good at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.J Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Ok I am being held to a forecast for my husbands office... With the WWA from 2-9 are we looking at a fast snowfall period? I want to be able to advise him as to when to bail from Mo.Co. He takes 270 and I want to get him home before those drivers on that road get stupid. Thanks!

Latest hires nam says snow in moco around 2-3 at the earliest. I wouldn't expect any rates strong enough to disrupt traffic till after 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2O Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 radar hole /= snow hole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usedtobe Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 radar hole /= snow hole part of the radar hole is because of the angle of the radar bean and it has to get up so high before seeing the snow that is evaporating before it hits the ground. You can see a huge difference between the LWX radar and the composite radar reflectivity, the latter shows more echoes as surrounding radar sites capture the elevated precip that is too high to be caught but the LWX radar that is nearer. Later in the day when the dry slot comes, then the radar hole with equal the snow hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACFD FIREMAN Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I'm a dummy but I see nothing in the next week to 10 days worth watching If the STJ is as active as the GFS advertises, we may be in for a fun period of model watching after the torch.

I watch my solar radiation sensor, when it gets down to about 5% of normal for that day and time, it starts flurrying. Right now I'm at 20%.

Bob Chill Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 Love when the weenies call bust 3 hours before the event was scheduled to start.. Happens every single storm. Radar hallucinations bring out the worst in people. Everything is on sched and how freekin long does it need to snow to pile up an inch? Like 2 hours or so? But all weenies started the same. I did years ago. They'll figure it out and if they don't they get banned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2O Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Can a storm bust when only an inch of snow is expected? If so, I am feeling bust. DC snow hole lives on. Then stop posting and go do something else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Just don't tell your newborn. 1 month old weenies can't handle the truth. Luckily she can only focus on things 8-10" away from her face, so the lack of dendrites won't matter too much to her yet. I'm not really too concerned about this event. Aside from the potential about four or five days ago, it's not like we should have expected much out of it anyways. Whether I get a dusting or 2", seeing some snow to end this cold shot will be nice. And since we suck at winter and I got 1.5" from the clipper, I can't really complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
