flakes just started flying here...no rain

just flurries

I love living by an airport because during snow events with the winds out of the east, the planes/jets circle to my east into the wind and there was a small plane probably <800' that was already obscured from the snow aloft

When did LWX adjust the district and east back down to 6-8 again? The orange 8-10 was way out east before. http://www.erh.noaa.gov/lwx/winterstorm/

LWX had really cut amounts with the afternoon update yesterday.  It was based off the morning data from Tuesday which suggested significant mixing cutting down totals, but that's all but a memory.

1.25 mi viz here in Leesburg, close to half an inch. snowing steadily. 30 degrees

 

snowfall report map from LWX so far

attachicon.gifMar 6 2013 snowfall reports as of 1250am.JPG

 

Back to 8 to 10 for DC. Whatever.  WHen I go to my point and click forecast, its 4  to 10. The entire system is a mess. If I am snowed in tomorrow, going to write a letter to someone complaining. Meanwhile, didn't realize till now that even the Eastern Shore of Md. is under a Watch.

LOL LWX Updated AGAIN...they must be boozing

 

 

It still is, it seems they're having technical issues.  I went there 4 times and got two different maps

Would not want to be a met in Sterling today.  Incredibly small changes in timing, temperature and location have played havoc on deterministic snowfall forecasts.  I would also gather several mets are in sleeping bags in their cubicles.

Still a mix on Capitol Hill...having a hard time going over to snow. Temp is below 34

 

Not obessing. But don't think it would help for weather service to have one uniform system?  Otherwise, what' the point?
