Ian Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 You should send me your color table if you won't make a loop. there's little waves and streamers embedded in the precip. looks like it's beefing up nicely in an orange/stafford/la plata line and even north toward dc but that area more. DM me your email on twitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nw baltimore wx Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 dat snowhole right over my house And there's "snow" over my house, and it isn't doing anything. That's not an accurate radar. I think it's picking up virga. And I also think it's picking up my virga better than yours because you're closer to the origin of the radar beam. It's cross-sampling a smaller vertical distance at your house, so you aren't getting "snow." Regardless, you aren't missing anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nw baltimore wx Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 People should stop quoting the big crappy radar Here's why it's "crappy"... From here: http://forecast.weather.gov/jetstream/doppler/radarfaq.htm#everything "The radar is also limited close in by its inability to scan directly overhead. Therefore, close to the radar, data are not available due to the radar's maximum tilt elevation of 19.5°. This area is commonly referred to as the radar's "Cone of Silence".

Eskimo Joe Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I've been looking at the ceilings for airports reporting snow and it seems as though 4000 feet is the magic number for this event; dewpoint be damned.
