jnis Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Back to moderate snow...it looks like the band to the NW might make a run on MoCo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchnick Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 The Warm temps before the storm was a non factor but the lack of heavy snow was surprising. That's why the storm busted there was a general expectation of 12:1 up to 15:1 ratios which upped the ante from 4-6" we would expect when the models are printing out .4-.6" generally, that's all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 The Warm temps before the storm was a non factor but the lack of heavy snow was surprising. That's why the storm busted I wouldn't be surprised if the QPF was too high. I might go out and do a snow core now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueapple Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 looks like I am done here...nice event...probably under 3", but still pretty and probably my biggest event in 3 years dude, radar shows snow is still to come--Richmond, WVA, and CHO are all snowing--snow isn't stopping soon.

SabreAce33 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Looks like our snowmaker is on its way. How much we get out of it remains to be seen, but it looks like things will pick up soon. Ah yes, see it on AKQs radar now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmlwx Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 dude, radar shows snow is still to come--Richmond, WVA, and CHO are all snowing--snow isn't stopping soon. a few posts have noted that best dynamics are north a bit now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaltimoreWxGuy Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 looks like I am done here...nice event...probably under 3", but still pretty and probably my biggest event in 3 years Imo that band to the northwest could pivot down and give you another inch or 2.

lpaschall Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I just measured and have about 7" in northern Westminster. Was out walking the dog and the snow has picked up in intensity over the last 30 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amped Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Heaviest rates since 09-10 last 30 minutes. Measured 9" here. Awesome storm. Kind of the opposite of 10/29/11 here when the deathband on radar was nothing. This time it doesn't look that strong but it was ripping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snow. Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Picked back up to mod with small/medium flakes mixed you're in a nice spot...damn close to getting 6-8" though will fall short... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87storms Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 the concerns about the slight north trend for points dc and south appear to have been completely valid. still nice out, but a bit of a letdown given the 6-10" forecasted as well as the crashing temps. it is what it is. time to go for a walk soon.

Kmlwx Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 you're in a nice spot...damn close to getting 6-8" though will fall short... I definitely think Bob will get scraped or hit by that band - he may get another inch from that quickly. We'll see if it can get any of the closer in folks.
