terpsnation Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Anacostia River killing it? Good point - could be that. A little bit surprising that the dynamics would be that powerful. Damn you Anacostia!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astarck Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Its kind of interesting how the radar sometimes seems to react to the imaginary lines we create for our cities. I know there's no reasoning behind this, but look at the small 35 DBZ line attempting to enter D.C. here: http://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?rid=LWX&product=N0R&overlay=11101111&loop=yes It simply gets destroyed by the D.C. border lol. I'm not saying it is happening in this case, but a lot of times those lines aren't imaginary. They're there for geographical reasons. And those can definitely play a role.

TalcottWx Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 The wet nature of the snow shouldn't last long for most. Column is rapidly cooling from here on out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This....at least for major highways, they tend to be built on changes of elevation to aid in runoff...at least thats what I learned in college Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxMan1 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Thundersnow in crofton!! 31 heavy snow. I get the heavy snow, but I didn't hear thunder. Did I miss it? T+ for sure, 0.5" accumulation so far... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Going back to the disco yesterday, notice the instability in srn NJ noted by the hatched area of LIs below 0. That area if instability adjacent to the saturated environment over the DC area will act to steepen lapse rates that may only be moist adiabatic. So, instead of lapse rates of 5.0C/Km or so..they might be more like 6.5C/Km or even steeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 In weenie terms, what does that entail? Thanks. It means that a combination of instability and air that is being forced upwards can lead to thundersnow. Have a layer that is a bit unstable and force air upwards into a part of the atmosphere that says "hey..come on up!" will allow for bands of heavy convective snow. Very simplistic, but it gets the point across. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
