Deck Pic Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I am more pessimistic about anything to the W right now. My "virtual whiff" meter is pegging at about 70% right now. being 11 mi south of my old hood and 10 mi southeast of you may actually matter there is a good blob of yellow making a move right toward western ffx county Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deck Pic Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Yeah at 7 and 8 pm... maybe we get lucky and have wet snow? snow is going to be the primary precip type pretty quickly...just stickage is an issue and rates..we are in a much better spot than others...wes is in a very good spot possibly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowfan Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 No reason to think we couldn't get accums on non-road/concrete surfaces after sunset. It would take some really good rates, which I don't believe we're going to see, to get accums on the roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deck Pic Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Went out for a walk during a long lunch here in Columbia, and it's definitely getting colder. once you get north of I-70 there are lots of 37-39 readings...maybe that will bleed down here soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nw baltimore wx Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 the latest I know what you think of these maps, but I made a comment yesterday that maybe LWX is trying to do too much, and this, I think, is an example. I know it's computer generated, but it's so unreliable that I don't see why it's even given to the public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deck Pic Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 NAM from 4pm to 1am ( i know I said to ignore it) 0.25" DCA 0.10" contour from BWI to LWX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchnick Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 NAM from 4pm to 1am ( i know I said to ignore it) 0.25" DCA 0.10" contour from BWI to LWX that's gone up from nothing I think if we're going to have any last minute trends, this is the way to go because it means there's a greater <weenie> chance that it ends up more vs. a drier trend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
