WxUSAF Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 is it me or does that trough look a little further south than modeled (maybe it's just the way it's presented, idk) http://weather.rap.ucar.edu/satellite/displaySat.php?region=US&itype=wv&size=large&endDate=20140121&endTime=-1&duration=4 Vortmax looks right over Roanoke or so, which I think is about right...

Ji Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 i think we got heavier snow on the jan 3 storm even though it was much shorter in duration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usedtobe Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Flakes probably fall at the same rate in general. Heavier precip is just more flakes, not specifically flakes that are falling faster. How do you get heavier rates? strong bands and saturation of the clouds. Much of MD, especially to the north, has had heavy snow since at least noon or so. I think he might be asking about flake formation and why we didn't get bigger flakes. It's a good question. I thought we see dendrites which tend to try to clump together but lack of cloud water may have hindered that along with winds. Winds tend to knock flakes together and can fracture them. The smaller flakes take way from the fluff factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usedtobe Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Seems you and me are neck and neck with totals. I can only hope recent radar returns get us to 4". Would be happy with that...mostly I'd be happy too though I expected more as I didn't see the falkes being so puny and also kind of thought the GFS might have it over the NAM. The road in front of my house has enough snow to have little mini ruts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herb@MAWS Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 3:45pm -- just did Round One of Broom+Shovel. I measure 4.8" IMBY. After 2+ hours of good intensity, at a much lighter rate now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I'm prob 3.5 or so. Maybe more. It's tought to measure accurately. I'm going to wait until 5-530 to get another measurement. Coming down nice right now. I like where I sit. Banding not done and moisture connection with ul energy happening to our south as we speak. Awesome.
