weathervswife Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 So no one (but Jeb) even has a dusting yet? Hmmmm. Not so sure about this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chase Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 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". coneofsilence.jpg" Plus it can never get over Bull Run Mountain to show us what's going on southwest of me. Literally the worst thing in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Frederick Airport should be reporting snow by 1:00am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joelhousman Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Dusting in West End Alexandria, near 495/395 interchanges at Cameron Station on Duke. Light snow, but brisk. Been going for about 30-45 minutes so far. Already dusted the sidewalks, asphalt and car tops. I uploaded a few photos into a Flickr set here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/joelhousman/sets/72157632594612373/ Edit: Wow. Had no idea the forums handled links to Flickr sets so gracefully (turning them into a slideshow). Good to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
