Jebman Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 that band south of DC looks impressive, and models show that is going to be the area with highest QPF. Thats where I am at and I already have 2 and a half inches of snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebman Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Dry Slot band inc to DC.. I want at least 1 pic! the dryslot is pivoting east - more snow is blossoming to the SW and rotating in. all I see is an atmosphere laden with heavy snow, about to demolish N VA and DCA/MD one thing I absolutely adore is heavy wet snow, this is when we find out who can handle the shoveling, and who gets handled by the shoveling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 0249 NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK 0225 AM CST WED MAR 06 2013 AREAS AFFECTED...PORTIONS OF WV-VA-MD CONCERNING...HEAVY SNOW VALID 060825Z - 061230Z SUMMARY...SNOWFALL RATES APPROACHING 1 INCH AN HOUR WILL BE COMMON ACROSS PORTIONS OF MD SWWD INTO NRN VA AND ERN WV. LOCALIZED HIGHER RATES /1 TO 1.5 INCH PER HOUR/ WILL PREFERENTIALLY FAVOR AND INTERMITTENTLY OCCUR ALONG THE E-FACING SLOPES OF THE HIGHEST TERRAIN IN ADJACENT PORTIONS OF WV-MD-VA. DISCUSSION...THE LAST FEW HOURS OF WATER VAPOR IMAGERY HAVE SHOWN THE NEWD PROGRESSION OF A MID-LEVEL DRYSLOT IMPINGING ON SRN-CNTRL VA AS A MID LEVEL LOW MIGRATES EWD FROM ERN KY/TN AND STRADDLES THE VA/NC BORDER BY 12Z. CONSIDERABLE MODEL VARIABILITY EXISTS BETWEEN THE 00Z AND 06Z NAM...00Z GFS...AND 00Z ECMWF REGARDING THE MID LEVEL DRYSLOT EVOLUTION FOR THE I-95 CORRIDOR NEAR THE D.C. - BALTIMORE VICINITY. THE NAM APPEARS MOST AGGRESSIVE AND SEEMINGLY PROBABLE IN MID LEVEL DRYING OVER THIS REGION WHEN COMPARED TO LOOPS OF RADAR MOSAIC REFLECTIVITY. 00Z NAM FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOW THE DRIER MID-LEVEL AIR OVERSPREADING PORTIONS OF THE D.C. AND BALTIMORE I-95 CORRIDOR BY 09-10Z AND 10-11Z...RESPECTIVELY. THIS SHOULD COINCIDE WITH AN ABATEMENT IN THE HEAVIEST SNOWFALL RATES AS THE DEEP SATURATED COLUMN JUXTAPOSED WITH DEEP LAYER FORCING FOR ASCENT BECOMES RELEGATED FARTHER W OVER NRN VA...NERN WV...AND WRN MD. THIS WILL OCCUR IN TANDEM WITH AN INTENSIFYING SURFACE LOW /CURRENTLY ANALYZED OVER NERN NC/ DEVELOPING NEWD TO THE TIDEWATER VICINITY BY 12-15Z. UPSLOPE COMPONENT TO THE FLOW OWING TO INCREASING ELY FLOW IN THE H9-H85 LAYER AROUND 40 KTS WILL ACT TO AUGMENT SNOWFALL RATES OVER THE ERN FACING SLOPES OF THE HIGHER TERRAIN OVER PARTS OF WV-MD-VA /RATES 1 TO 1.5 INCH PER HOUR/. ..SMITH.. 03/06/2013 ATTN...WFO...CTP...LWX...RNK...PBZ...RLX...

TalcottWx Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 32 here. Storm is verifying colder. Wouldn't be surprised to see someone on Delmarva with decent totals in the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVclimo Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Starting to really crank up here now. 1/2 mile visibility with big flakes. Accumulating more quickly on all surfaces. 32 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I'm incredibly impressed with how cool it is right now. I was expecting it to be a couple degrees warmer, but being on the edge of this band has its privileges. Hoping to get stuck under that thing soon.

87storms Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 radar says dry slot fail in dc. precip filling in all the way down to nc/va border. seeing some bands rotating almost to the nw. should be a fun morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalcottWx Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I'm not sure that death band is anywhere close to slowing it's movement yet. That will likely pass through DC and slow down somewhere just past it judging by its solid momentum. You dc peeps want to see it start hitting the breaks. Be ready for tssn. Its definitely on the start of the dry slot, and is located where snow whould be convective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a sensor at the airport or an observer. Edit: No strikes on DC-LMA. Might be a fluke or a very small discharge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmlwx Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 No accumulation on the pavement here. Grass looks nice and white. I need that deathband I suppose if I want to start sticking on the street. I just need enough snow on the road to strand me at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 You are kidding about the dry slot part right?? we need rates probably no matter what.. we might dip into it. but radar looks way better to the south now (top new v below about 90 min ago). returns are pivoting this direction too.
