Jebman Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Roger Ramjet's snow + elevation FTW. I expect a car top coating by 7am tomorrow morning. Boundary layer issues, lot of rainfall, STRONG March sun, and I am only seventy feet above the beautiful blue Atlantic Ocean. Almost forgot - FEROCIOUS mild ground. This aint January. You want snow you better have elevation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeoman Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Radar movement going in the wrong direction.. punt it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebman Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Remington VA is a good 40-45 miles west of Dale City. You need to be west and/or at some elevation to get the most out of this system. Congrats! I hope you get 9 inches. Please post pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snownut Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Bust here in WV, came out to spend the night and watch the snow... LOL 8 hours of virga! Everythings is south even though WSW continues here I doesn't seem likely. Cold and dry is winning the battle here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 bump Did you mean good hallucinations or bad? Because radar looks pretty craptacular right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeoman Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 bump Unless you're getting your radar from WTOP radio no one should be hallucinating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disc Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Closing in on 0.50" of rain. Stuck under a band of heavier precip right now and it just keeps developing off to the west of me and pumping it eastward. 37.7* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebman Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 The bacon is sliding east, but much more importantly, south. The RAP may have been correct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 23z RAP is .3 to .4 QPF DCA area through noon tomorrow... which is slightly more than the 18z NAM/GFS combo FWIW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 still not quite sure where nws got their numbers from in the broader dc area. i guess they're shooting for the low end of the ranges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTRWx Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 still not quite sure where nws got their numbers from in the broader dc area. i guess they're shooting for the low end of the ranges. probably from past firsthand experiences Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoda Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 still not quite sure where nws got their numbers from in the broader dc area. i guess they're shooting for the low end of the ranges. .5 to 2" seems a weird range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 .5 to 2" seems a weird range 2-4" seems too high over loudoun etc mostly.. never really understood that one. not sure any model has enough liquid to get 4" of snow. 1-3" might be better... tho even 3 might be pushing it in a lot of spots.
