SomeguyfromTakomaPark Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Can't believe how fast everything went from damp to totally snow covered. Some of the heaviest rates I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalcottWx Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Literally hasnt finished off stacking at either 700mb nor even 850 completely yet. Will be within an hour. Dry air aloft is often cause for trouble aloft. Boxing day had it in Boston and I only cashed in because of a coastal front that demolished Boston. Upslope saves foothill and mountains. But when this stacks and gets going everything improves. No it won't be of level forecasted but still a significant storm outside of marine influence. Check out this wall of snow se of baltimore on dover radar. And see snow intensifying at DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Yeah, you're winds are coming from the northeast. Might have to wait until your winds shift to due north or beyond... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalcottWx Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 The dry air is what caused the bursty garbage. Hartford in Boxing Day only managed accumulation during this bursts because of the better bl in that situation. When your going back and forth between rasn and its 34 you won't see much.

Ger Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 SN occasionally +SN in Capitol Hill. Hoping the past few hours was just lull while the system redeveloped. It seems unlikely that ALL models prove to be wrong (in that all of them showed precip into tonight), no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lsukev Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 If you want to see which way we're headed as far as precip, take a look at this radar loop; especially the end. Tons of moisture are starting to be pulled into this storm. Kudos to whomever above posted the link to this radar site.

Got a good 2-3" on top of cars, maybe 1.5" on the ground. Flurrying now. I measured just over 2.5" a few hours ago, but no accumulation since then despite not having gone over to rain. We keep getting these bursts, but it always goes back to very, very light snow. We need those returns to get into good rates and have a little daytime fun.
