clskinsfan Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 This is all wAA stuff. Once that low takes control and vertically stacks to our sse thats when the deforn mega band setup starts. Exactly.

Fodie77 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I don't know why I torture myself by reading everyone's obs as I sit on the couch and listen to the sound of cold rain reduced to looking at pressure drops for glimmers of hope... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pityflakes Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 -RASN but probably mostly snow; 36/32. Also, power just flickered. Can't be directly storm-related but not a good omen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarlet Pimpernel Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 -RASN but probably mostly snow; 36/32. Also, power just flickered. Can't be directly storm-related but not a good omen! I fully anticipate the power going out in MoCo. We lucked out during Sandy, it never even flickered. Good thing I've still got the dry/canned staples left over from that.

Jebman Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Absolutely no wind now. Just light snow. Nice to add a little base before it rips here after 3am. About .5in on hard non-paved surfaces and grass now. Looks great to the eye. My sidewalk starting to glaze over so the next heavy/mod band will do the roads in. We deserve this. Finally! It feels great to finally savor a good snow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AS THE SFC LOW TRACKS NEWD/NWD DURING THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS...A STRENGTHENING 850-700-MB FRONTOGENETIC CIRCULATION WILL SUPPORT INCREASING MESOSCALE ASCENT. IN TURN...PRECIPITATION WILL CONTINUE TO OVERSPREAD THE AREA TONIGHT AMID AN ELEVATED WARM CONVEYOR BELT. WHILE LOW-LEVEL THERMAL PROFILES ARE INITIALLY MARGINAL FOR SNOW FROM THE DC AREA INTO NRN VA...THE COMBINED EFFECTS OF COOLING OWING TO FORCED ASCENT AND WET-BULB/NOCTURNAL EFFECTS SHOULD AID IN LOWERING WET-BULB ZERO HEIGHTS TOWARD THE SFC DURING THE NEXT FEW HOURS.
