WVclimo Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I picked up 0.30" of primarily snow in a three-hour period from 2-5 p.m. the other day, and managed 1" accumulation with temps marginally above freezing. 12Z GFS suggests similar precip rates in my area on Sunday morning, but maybe a little colder.

Fodie77 Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 CAD impressive for CVA and DC. Not so much for RIC. who cares about Richmond? Probably those of us that live here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 not for the thump Yeah...like right at 32F. Still, call me skeptical when the precip rate is only 0.05"/hour or so during daytime. That WAA precip just totally falls apart as it reaches us (sounds familiar, right?). Column dries out significantly above 800mb fairly quickly as well, so it's probably non-accumulating snow (for you and I) transitioning to cold drizzle. Either way, that's probably more than enough detail parsing at 100 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Given the mslp and 500 tracks, I assume that the 12z euro throws something up our way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deck Pic Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Euro looks better than GFS (favoring the climo areas of course)....transfer is almost in time..it isn't an insignificant amount of precip either...0.5" contour touching some places Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
