Grothar of Herndon Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 27/23 Lull. Snowing all morning but back and forth between steady and light has held down accumulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Thanks, that looks right based on radar. For the immediate DC metro, we are hoping that the sleet line is just north of Culpeper to Dale City-ish and that the slug of precip coming this way will stay as snow. I hope so... its very frustrating... good pics all and congrats on your snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dman Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Moderate ice pellets now, dropped to 30.4 degF. Some small icicles on deck, mulch and driveway covered with light coating of sleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usedtobe Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Mostly sleet here. a few flakes mixing in now that I'm getting precip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GATECH Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Heavy snow now in that band south of alexandria. Sidewalks turning white in about 2 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxMan1 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Shows how location matters. I'm not doing much anything. I can see a few white patches on teh mulch. Temp is plenty cold enough but I can't get the precip. Frustrating. Wes, that's the frustrating part about the front-side WAA/Warm conveyor belt generated precip. There's typically a gap between the higher reflectivities on the south side (bright-banding) where it is mixing and the band(s) on the northern side where the moisture/lift in the dendritic growth zone is more optimal. Those of us in between are stuck with a below 0C sounding, yet without the same degree of lift/moisture above the -10C layer. So we get much lighter pcpn that more or less coats the ground. Certainly not at all like your transition that we see on the backside of a low (CCB/trowal and deformation ahead of a mid level trough). In these situations we rarely see the "gaps" in radar (...unless we're dealing with CSI bands). Frustrating for both the weather enthusiast as well as the forecaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhode Islander in Balto Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Just measured a little over an inch and a half. I'm about 7 miles west of I-95, 1 mi inside the beltway. Temp has dropped slightly in the past 30 mins. Snowing a bit lighter right now, some bigger flakes mixing in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SerialDerecho Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Really been ripping in Charles Town, WV the last our. beifly had some sleet mix in about 10 minutes ago, but now moderate snow again. 4.4" so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clskinsfan Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 12:00 Update 4.1 inches. Moderate snow 25 degrees This will be my last update until 4:00 or so. I must watch my Skins get crushed. Snow has picked back up in intesity. 6+ inches is most likely a lock at this point. First shovel use of the season Moderate snow First driveway snow pile of the season. Current road conditions in Winchester, VA. As always a joke! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

needbiggerboat Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I've got mostly sleet here. Some graupel mixed in. Possibly a quarter inch of accumulation.All snow in this part of Centreville....approaching .75 inch.You're in a tough spot. The latent heat from the meth labs around your house mess with the surface and boundary layer temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast NPZ Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Turned to sleet around 10:30 or so. Up to that point some very heavy snow. Turned back to snow about 11 AM, and snowing heavily again. Just measured and exceeded 3.5". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnis Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Just measured 5 inches Monrovia, MD.. Wow! that was a heavy band that moved through 1 hour ago!! Wow, I'm probably 5 miles south of you and measured half that amount. Kemptown must be the southern edge of the heavy stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usedtobe Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Wes, you have a bunch of 30dbz stuff incoming; I hope you can squeeze some snow out of it. It's changing back to snow.

ThreeRedheads Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 LWX - 1.2" at 11am....IAD could do pretty well... NWS employee reported 3" at IAD.

CoastalWx Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Nice guys. The 850-500 RH/vv maps showed this nice yesterday. Looked like MD to PHL would get into the good stuff but it's even a bit more widespread enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 It's changing back to snow. Got some big flakes. Actually it is back t almost all snow. I can still hear some ping though. Great news to hear the column still supports snow. It's noon now. Bonus time for us. I'm holding at 27.3. I didn't think I would be this cold during the afternoon. I'm starting to think about impacts from ice tonight but probably not too much here. Those with big snow totals are in for one heck of a memorable event once it's all said and done.
