BlizzardNole Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Can't believe MC govt decided to stay open today...I really don't want to get stuck at work but liberal leave only works when you haven't had to take off for every other freaking event since they never close! My wife has an interview with MCPS at 2:00 in Rockville, and offices are open (although that could change later). If it's on, I'll drive her in the old Outback. Should be fun! Still sitting at 35 and patiently waiting. Nah, impatiently LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nw baltimore wx Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I think a back door front went through here. Gusty north winds and noticeably colder. I just sent up a weather balloon and 850's are sweet. Super cold for optimum dendrite growth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EasternUSWX Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Why does LWX radar always have that beam shooting off to the northwest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighStakes Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 good, manchester and westminster reporting snow... shouldnt be too long before its here still holding at 27 It's filing in quick.

aldie 22 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Moisture might surround me a bit before it starts falling...which is pretty normal for here...my 30 minute estimate might need a slight extension...I'm done looking at radar now...time to enjoy and not sweat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heisy Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Red sky in NE Philly as well Enjoy it down there, starting to feel really cold here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmlwx Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Why does LWX radar always have that beam shooting off to the northwest? Terrain most likely. There are some hills and such west of the radar. You can see other less noticeable ones to the west of the radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 One thing worthy of pointing out to the tempanoids is the warmer than progged surface is a very shallow layer. And pretty cold as you go up. Will be easy to overcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmlwx Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Using the color table on GR2AE that Ian gave me it looks like precip is finally making some expansion into MoCo (albeit very light so far and only extreme western parts of the county. Will be interesting to see if anybody out in the W part of the county starts snowing in the next 15-20 or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needbiggerboat Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 35 and winds picking up. Snow appears to be an hour or so from moving in here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasternUSWX Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Radar looks like it is about go time in the NW areas. DBZ increasing nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joc111 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 it definitely doesn't look like a "stick from the very beginning to every surface" deal here in the city, so may lose a little there, but temps are not getting any higher today once the snow starts. clippers are cold. from here on, i only care about the radar. temps are fine, and looking at radar i'd actually side more with the gfs than the others right now. Oh, I'm not doubting temps will crash when the precipitation arrives and saturates the column; but the fact remains it's going to take awhile to cool the ground sufficiently, and thus we'll lose quite a bit of potential accumulation. Still holding at 37º with a dewpoint of 26º at elevation in the West End of Alexandria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravensrule Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 29.3 should be a few minutes until my first snowflakes acccording to radar. Good luck everyone, let's knock this out of the park. I see the WSW has been upped to 6-10". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mods, proceed as if in storm mode and delete, 5 post liberally. Got it boss! Except I'm going to the gym now... Why does LWX radar always have that beam shooting off to the northwest? That's sunrise. Edit...if you meant southeast. The line to the NNW is probably an obstruction, but that's a guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
