09-10 analogy Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Yeah, two peals of thunder about 15 minutes ago when we were sledding in Ft. Reno, with the enhanced band that went through. Didn't see any lightning, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacindc Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 A lot nicer to be watching big fat flakes than rain, but might be nice if any of them actually stuck to something other than cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

real Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Completely demoralizing. Even after thundersnow and yellows moving in over DC on the radar, turns out to be nothing more than a snow shower. I know temperatures ended up being an issue, but curious if someone can explain another meterological reason why this entire thing just seems to have fallen apart for the city? After this latest let down post thundersnow, sort of thinking DC does not break 2 inch mark, even if temps drop a little more later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDweatherman Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I am at my office in Glen Burnie and I hear one after another jets that have just taken off flying into the muffled sound of snow aloft while it rains down here. arrrggghhhhh What may help folks around your area is the fact that the low is gaining more latitude in comparison to what modeling had it doing. If you look at analyzed pressures, you'll notice that it is progressing more northward on the latest radar frames. Additionally, the flanking line on the SE side of the low which can be seen on the DOX radar moving and expanding w/ward is key. What this might mean? Well in addition to pulling the winds direction from E to the N/NE, expect that a CCB like deform area could be in place that one is usually accustomed too in typical noreaster situations. The positioning of the low tells me that NYC could do better than predicted, and that some models which had mdt/heavy precip in DC the same time as NYC could at a certain point be correct.

WxUSAF Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Been snowing at a decent clip for about 1.5 hours now. Vis ~1-2mi. Just can't accumulate at 34.9F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haudidoody Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Incredibly frustrating with those strong returns, all we're getting is light snow. I will say the winds are surprisingly strong a few feet above the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

real Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Not even remotely did it fall apart for just the city... March just seems made for busts. If I was a pro forecaster, would never want to stick my neck out again on a March snowfall forecast. Didn't Blizzard of 1993 also bust in part of DC when it changed over to rain/sleet? March 2001 also had a severe underperformer. But guess that storm in early March in 2009? turned out o.k. But boy, this is a bad let down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJwinter23 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 My snow is melting as fast as it is falling. I measured - thought, based on rates, I would see 4" - NOPE - 1.5 - 2" - THAT IS IT - I have been in yellows and dark greens for hours! ****! how does everyone around you have 4+?

adelphi_sky Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 It doesn't know if it wants to rain or snow. Going back and forth here in Adelphi. Constant wind though.

Benchmark Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Ok on the COD radar the North and west side are beginning to collapse and weaken... Im throwing in the towel here on the western shore of the bay. we may see snow soon but with the ground so wet and still at 38 it will take a while to stick...
