I have been looking at the Level II data coming off of Sterlings radar and this ''gap'' just west of DC seems to be a product of the proximity of Sterling's radar site.  If you look at the higher elevation scans it reveals that snow is indeed falling, just not being picked up by the lowest volume scan.

That is a good point though. A relatively intense band will have sinking motion upstream and downstream so in a setup like this where the band is moving in the direction perpendicular to its long axis the heavy snow will last a shorter time and there will be intervals of light precip. Later on when the secondary low begins to develop, the banding should become oriented more in the direction of the mean flow. Those bands will likely affect areas east of UNV.

Been watching the wall on the radar telling my kids any minute and boom nothing to moderate snow in Akron/Ephrata in ten minutes. The game has started. Now lets rock. Glad to see the hi res showing snow till midnight. Hopefully we hang on long enough for a fresh blanket.
