BTRWx Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 there's very few things dc does worse than isolated snow squalls. i'd be surprised to see a squall make it down here. they usually dry up. then again, it's been a while since we've had a good one so maybe we're due. Didn't the area have one last year one morning? D.C. split right now doesn't look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebman Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 One band will train over Stafford, the other over DCA. I'm in the middle. Hell someone's gotta take one for the team... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

needbiggerboat Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Of course it fell apart and deflected south as it approached here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighStakes Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Nothing but scattered flurries with the first line. Hope the second line holds together better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PivotPoint Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 This has to be one of the more frustrating radars for me ever. Multiple times today I have had radar returns over me with not a single flake... Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 This has to be one of the more frustrating radars for me ever. Multiple times today I have had radar returns over me with not a single flake... Wow. Dude if you are on the edge of one of these localized bands with 5 or even 10 dbz returns, you probably arent going to see more than a flake or two. Your location just never got squarely under one, thus weak or no lift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVclimo Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Wow ! Second line packing a punch. Winds 31 G41 with snow blowing in sheets. Looks like a summer thunderstorm. Flakes smaller this time, but really whipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your location just never got squarely under one, thus weak or no lift. Yea, apparently I didn't. Although earlier (about 4-5 hours ago) I was right under a 15-20dbz band and saw diddly squat. Lift is the operative word you touched on-- no lift. Snow hole... http://www.erh.noaa.gov/lwx/winterstorm/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebman Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Radar shows snow to my west.
