snownut Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 It is the MA so you can expect a bunch of rain and heart break as a snow lover there. You do get big ones some years so it could be worse? Ignore NE and that will help? Or like my new back yard third straight day of record highs in the 60's! And so it begins......the final desperate waiting period begins, even as the Northeast loads up on fresh snow. When we have above freezing temps, like last night, we always have plenty of moisture. When we are at 29 degrees, like now, we are begging for a dusting. That is the summary of the life of a Mid Atlantic snow enthusiast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattskiva Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Any Leesburg area reports for me? Sounded like enough to coat the grass I don't know about Leesburg but here everything was green until an hour ago (all rain) and now the mulch is covered (barely) but grass still not even tinted white. I am about 15 miles south of Leesburg as the crow flies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTRWx Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 NW & SW DC should be seeing some good bands in the next ten minutes or so What makes you say that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevWarReenactor Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Base reflectivity is showing nice bands forming to our east. We can only watch and hope. This storm feels like a total wait and watch event. I have no clue what I am getting. Just going to sit back and hope some bands get into the area. The radar is looking nice right now.

PhineasC Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 ha ha beat me by 1 second! Radar looks awesome right now to be honest. I think DCA/BWI on NE get in on some action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebman Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Yes. I'm sure some deformation bands will go over NYC and WLI for a few hours, but the trend east with the low certainly doesn't help the case for 2ft+. I think we should all be interested in this type of storm since modeling can be inspected better than your standard run of the mill 6-10 inch storm. Think about it, the NAM shows ~3.5" QPF over NYC, while the RGEM shows 0.7" (after 18z). That's a 500% difference in a storm modeled less than 24 hours out with models of generally the same spatial resolution! Notes should be taken. Just take a blend of the two models, thats about 2 inches of QPF and still a 20 inch snow, more snow if the temps are taken into account for snow to water ratios.

Ignore NE and that will help? Or like my new back yard third straight day of record highs in the 60's! Yeah, I do try not to read the NE forums lol. However, I hope NYC and Boston get 3 feet of snow with 15 foot drifts and 70 mph wind gusts lol EDIT - I have some light snow at 32/32 degrees. I am getting close to achieving a car top covering. This sure beats hours of steady rain lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
