blueapple Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Down to 28/24 here in S Arlington at noon. Snow remains steady. EDIT: Using average of two close (1/4 mi) weatherbug station. Apparently profile ob for ARL is still 32*, which is odd. DCA is even down to 30/24. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I'm over an inch now. Been steady light - mod off and on with mixed flake sizes. Bands are all taking on the same orientation now.

EastCoast NPZ Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Very light, now powdery snow. Up to 2.5". Picked up .1" last hour and now .3" last two hours. At least temps are dropping. Down to 25F, but there is a NW component to the wind according to wxbug station. That is never good for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snow. Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 Disappointed in the flakes, no real dendrites. Not sure I know what to call them. The GFS had us getting a lot of snow by 1pm, but the NAM only 0.08"...I'm tempted to follow the NAM...I think the GFS verbatim is goofy with the early stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
