StormPinsMike Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Was at 12 a few hours ago, but shot back up to 18 now. Winds are southerly. High was 21. Same here in Leesburg. Weird, up to 20 right now. I think its the moon angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gymengineer Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Same here in Leesburg. Weird, up to 20 right now. I think its the moon angle. Weird but predicted.....Raw model output showed the dip in temps around sunset followed by a slow, steady rise until dawn, and then a spike up once the sun comes up tomorrow.

mitchnick Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Mitch, rgem actually shows around .05 qpf from dca through bwi and .10 near the elkton area. NAM/HRRR sim radar show a brief band of virga. Go RGEM! ETA: Duh! Your maps show the same. I only looked at the top 2 panels before posting. no matter 0Z cut back....color maps not out yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 MOS has come down for tomorrow. Dca will prob still top freezing but NAM raw keeps it below. Would be a 5 day stretch.. Impressive if it managed to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchnick Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 It's still insisting on a coating of snow that the other models aren't showing... in less than 7 hours. true, but if you look at surface reports, you have to get near the GL before there is actually snow hitting the ground it;s possible it could develop over us once it jumps the mts., but idk....the other models have me convinced otherwise of course reality will be a snow shower that could be argued both ways lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Bumped up to 21. Felt warm when I took the trash out. Pretty awesome that 3.8" of high ratio snow will mostly be intact 3 days later. All exposures still completely covered and even the drifting back onto my shoveled sidewalk and driveway hasn't budged. Solid wintry week for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angela T Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 It is 21 and it feels very cold to me. Anything under 40 and I am cold. I love snow and we need cold for snow. But 21, and dry? Really? I will take 28 and heavy snow any day!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cae Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 no matter 0Z cut back....color maps not out yet It didn't cut back much... The NAM has been slowly bringing the cutoff line south, and the RGEM has been slowly bringing it north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebman Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 The reason I know next Monday's storm will be plain rain or slush is this: If we were in for something worth getting excited about. this place would be buzzing with excitement. The Jebman shovels are back in cold storage. I expect a car topping of super cold rain come Monday. There's no buzz in the forums and no model thread. Who tracks a rainstorm in January anyway?

birdsofprey02 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 NAM4k has 25 dbz returns.. It is composite but it would prob do something. Gotta hedge after Tue lol. I just had a few flakes come down when letting the dog out. It was pretty cool because as each flake came down, you could see it land on existing snow and stay unmelted. the flakes were decent size so it looked like someone was sprinkling salt crystals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
