Deck Pic Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 That hole over JMU is headed straight for DC proper I've been staring at it for 10 minutes hoping it fills in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feloniousq Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 30/15. Even if the band holds up there's a lot of dry air there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongRanger Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Well, the snow exploded with a mighty crash as we fell into the sun. And the first one said to the second one there I hope you're having fun. Band on the run, band on the run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldie 22 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I wish I was smart enough to always remember that these things don't work here....but that radar looks like it may be close unless that last ridge chomps it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dailylurker Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Looks like it's trying to intensify. Maybe a weenie hallucination. SE wind feeding moisture in possibly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midatlanticweather Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 The line is filling now! But do not blink when it comes or you may miss it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldie 22 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 The line is filling now! But do not blink when it comes or you may miss it! Quick and intense for some...should stick immediately...I'm going with a half an inch here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 50 dbz snow.. wonder if some sleet in there. dual pol sorta looks like it but trailing the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 If it wasn't 27* and mid Feb I would be expecting to see flashes to my West right now. Short and sweet but I'm in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I dont think there is any sleet with dual pol trailing it perhaps not but it has turned "brighter" right behind that little heavy ball. no clue what that means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Short and sweet but I'm in I was just thinking the same thing. Crickets chirping, flashes in the sky off to the west. Waiting on the patio with a cold beer for the first rumble of thunder.

Random Chaos Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Well, the dual pol hydrometer classification has had one or two pixels of sleet (red on radarscope) mixing into the pink grauple zone right where the highest dBz's are showing up. Possible sleet mixing, though I've yet to see the hydrometer classification being very accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possible sleet mixing, though I've yet to see the hydrometer classification being very accurate. i'm not exactly sure what it is and it seems to trail the ball a bit.. but it looks like sleet and the high reflectivity would make sense if it was. this is a few scans back now, but the area s/sw of wardensville developed as that little cell blew up.
