HighStakes Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Actually I remember that there was a system that came through on my birthday, 3/17 one year was possibly 07. My parents were "surprising" me and drove down from OH and got caught in it. They showed up and we were out shoveling. Yes it was 07, but that wasn't a clipper. It was a major east coast storm. Most of the far north and west burbs received between 4 and 10 inches. Closer in burbs got 1 to 4. Everyone started out as rain then eventually changed over but some areas got stuck in the transition zone for a longer time and received a mix.

NoVaWx Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 On radar it seems like there are some flakes reaching the ground out west around front royal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swimmatte Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 The vort is still out near Chicago. It's early.. people love to flip out when radar sucks early. It's really not too bad though, I'm just think about the end result, it certainly wouldn't suck to catch as much of the precip as possible. Unfortunately, it usually doesn't work that way for us though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking most of that is still virga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usedtobe Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 There is no reason to leave weenie mode tho Wes is conspicuously absent of late. I was watching TV and hadn't looked at anything. The RAP has trended away from being as good as it looked last time I looked. It's too early to make many judgements based on radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterWxLuvr Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 There are very tiny flakes starting to drift around out here. The RAP seems to be conning around. Actually looks pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had been looking at the 23Z, the 00Z looks a little better but is slower to break it out over us at least before it reaches the ground and then holds onto it longer than the earlier runs.

Looks south of me right now. I'm planning on not even catching the end of the nam so I can get to sleep so I can wake up early to catch some flakes. I have not seen but about 10 so far this winter.

Just took a second look and see nothing. I don't know what to make of it. Heck what I was seeing was so fine I guess it could have been anything. Too cold to look for long.
