Ian Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Looking over traffic cameras, I-81 is completely covered north of Roanoke. Very low visibility. Pretty impressive considering temperatures are above freezing and it's a late March afternoon. heavy snow wins in marginal situations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disc Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 The rates are insane right now. I didn't get a chance to measure before it started so I have no idea how much we've picked up from this band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueapple Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Mt Holly goes WWA on eastern shore and warnings around Philly. Usually they have solid coordination with Sterling, so it's quite likely that advisory is expanded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ravensrule Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 This makes no sense to me here is my forecast: Tonight Rain and snow, mainly after 8pm. Low around 33. Light east wind increasing to 6 to 11 mph after midnight. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Total nighttime snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible. Monday Snow before 9am, then rain and snow. High near 36. North wind 11 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 25 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible. Monday Night Rain and snow likely, mainly before 7pm. Cloudy, with a low around 30. Northwest wind 5 to 13 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. Little or no snow accumulation expected. And here is the Brooklyn , NY forecast. They are warmer than me and the models look nowhere near as good as they do down here yet they are under a WWA advisory for 2-3". Tonight A chance of snow after 3am. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 35. Northeast wind 5 to 10 mph becoming southeast in the evening. Chance of precipitation is 30%. Monday Snow, mainly after 9am. High near 39. Breezy, with a northeast wind 15 to 23 mph, with gusts as high as 33 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New snow accumulation of 1 to 3 inches possible. Monday Night Snow, mainly before midnight. Low around 33. Breezy, with a north wind 14 to 20 mph, with gusts as high as 32 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New snow accumulation of less than one inch possible. It has to be that Sterling is afraid because of 3/6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 still mainly lacking rates of consequence around here for any period until 9-12z and then its mainly ne md and ne. don't really care if we get 1" liquid if it falls over 24 hours. .25ish in 3 hrs is sorta my benchmark for accum, and it probably more or less matches those places getting good stuff now. im hoping at like 4am i have a dusting and not wet ground.. might help with any burst.
