T. August Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Just measured .6". Radar looks good up this way. I believe graupel is falling at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't seen dendrites all night for more then a few minutes. Right now it's a lull and I guess there is some graupel infused with the very light precipitation, but I can't say I can tell. Haven't seen any graupel and I'm like 5 miles from you at most. Though it's lightened up for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhode Islander in Balto Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Starting to pick up in Parkville (NE Baltimore)....strangely rimmed/shaped flakes falling, some that almost look like tiny pieces of popcorn. They are making almost a sleet-like ping sound on the metal roof of my back porch. Just hit the 1 inch mark! 13.5/8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh, really can't explain it then. Others in Arlington are reporting it too, so I'm gonna stick to my obs. Enjoy your dendrites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a freshman and I am thinking about majoring in Meteorology. Started a course this semester but don't know much.. I was wondering what you guys/gals think If you're in Newark, DE then you might want to head to the Philly forum... I think that one covers your region.

MacintoshPro Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Ughh. We had 10 minutes of graupel and now back to sparse pixie dust with intermittent graupel. Nothing looks very good on the radar for DC, but that could change quickly. I really hope we don't have that graupel crap and we have dendrites.

MacintoshPro Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I might just go to sleep for a couple hours and wake up at 2 AM- hopefully to a scene of bright greens and lots of dendrites... we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StudentOfClimatology Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Walking out in it now, looks like a few rimed snowflakes in a mix of singulars and small flakes. If there was graupel, I missed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiscaster Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 11:15pm measurement: 3.0". So, 0.4" in the past 2+ hours. Not great. Snow is starting back up after a lull though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshfsu123 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 3.3 inches down in SE DC (as of 11pm) --- it is snowing again (has been for past 15 minutes). Flake size is a little larger than earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I chalked it up to upper level dynamics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
