Bob Chill Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I'm already below freezing so my flakes will stick. All 3 dozen of them too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebman Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 If only all that moisture to our west could reach northern Virginia! It's dark green with some yellow. I know it wont tho - these models do not lie. If we could only get that moisture here for an hour! We'd have conversational snow all right. No use wishin tho. EDIT: Skies are now partly cloudy. Time for another adjustment......I now only expect overcast skies at best. This thing is drying up faster than piss in the middle of the Sahara Desert in July Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldie 22 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Decent blob out west...hope it makes it this far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BristowWx Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Decent blob out west...hope it makes it this far Looking at weenie cast radar it is hard to believe that area where the pink and blue meet on the OH KY border won't perform better area wide....it looks like it is being fed by the moisture from the south..

Huffwx Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 i think the disco needs scientific method put to work. I don't want to get rid of the mountains because I like them. Let's move them for a season or 2 and see what happens and then put them back. I like the idea of retractable Mts. clipper season, we put them to our east-- when CAD is needed, we put them to our west. We get the BEST of both worlds. I bet that would increase seasonal averages by 50% or more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clskinsfan Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Snow is very light. You would think it would be heavier with the radar returns over my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVclimo Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 SN- and 32 degrees. Ground beginning to whiten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usedtobe Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 The 22Z RAP looks like it killed any snow for DCA at least through 04Z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebman Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Turning to radar nowcasting.......looks like all the moisture to our west is stealing from Peter to pay Paul (lots more snow for the WV mountains), resulting in less moisture up north for Pennsylvania. Any snow over WV will dry up before reaching mby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

das Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Clear skies, stars above here in Clarksburg (no, really). Good evening for radiational cooling. Temp has dropped from its high of 31.8F to 28.8F on calm winds in the last 30 minutes. Hard to believe its snowing just to the west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebman Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 boundary layer issues too. we got plenty cold air. problem is, dewpoints are around 14 degrees with temps about 34. if we ever see any virga its gonna dry right up. better chances of heavy rain in the kalahari desert over a 30 year dataset timeframe than seeing snow in the next 18 hours lmao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Next I'll let someone else keep an eye on the next. I just can't get excited for rain. I dig severe but i suck at analyzing so I just lurk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxdude64 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Well, that isn't good. Had a nice blob on radar go overhead.....nuthin', not even airport at 3700 ft elevation or Lewisburg to my west reported anything. Temps in low 30's dews in low 20's. Maybe that will moisten up things for next round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
