ravensrule Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Got it! The explanation was clear. The Heavy Seas is making things cloudy. Light snow and the concrete is going from white to wet. Same here, oh well it was still beautiful for the hour it was coming down nicely. It has really lightened up now, but looking at the radar it should pick back up soon.

Ian Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I followed this all day and frankly was surprised to see it change over so quickly up this way, but it's all window dressing. As far as impact, it might as well be rain. Hopefully, no one takes that comment differently than the way it was intended, but from a forecasters point of view, I can't imagine that "missing" this with a forecast that was calling for rain is a big deal because the snow that fell in the areas that were not expecting snow has had little impact. But like everyone else here, I love seeing snow in any form, so I'll take what I can get. Yeah I think it was a bit colder on the front end than most expected.

gymengineer Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Yeah I think it was a bit colder on the front end than most expected. Surface temps are pretty off too, even during lighter precip rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usedtobe Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 MOS was pretty close. Maybe a degree or two here and there The models were pretty good with the temps at my house. I did see a few flakes with temps still pretty warm but no accumulations and really not that much precipitation. The NAM for Friday and Friday night looks wierd with sounding hugely different between DC and ppoints nw PA where the heavier precip is forecast. It will be interesting to see what the GFS does.

Ha, I hadn't even looked at the weekend. Wonder how it will work out? My first guess would be dry, but one can always hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterWxLuvr Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 My weenie, know nothing take on the soundings is that in Feb with 850's below freezing, you've got a decent chance at snow if you have decent rates and any elevation at all. It was snowing in Winchester with temps in the upper 30's. Of course they fell quickly once it started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Really? It was supposed to be at freezing over the northern metro by 9 pm? Not challenging, just asking. It had places hitting low to mid 30s by precip end. I only look at the main airports usually and they all seem more or less in line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
