Jebman Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I have steady pixie dust/light snow that is accumulating pretty well under 10dBZ returns. Look out when you get those green bands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 The band setting up across moco is nice. Starting to look like a legit storm now. Not mod yet but building up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midatlanticweather Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Been catching up from the flu last week and been crazy.. but I look outside at the falling snow and it is so peaceful. Helps calm the nerves.. Definitely Jeb walking later when I get to a good breaking point. This is a win already.. remember the model whiffs? We got it! Enjoy!

Jebman Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I have picked up a quarter of an inch of new snow with this heavier pixie dust in about the last 20 minutes, under light blue 10 dBz returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravens94 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 This band is getting stronger and wider each frame. So much for dry air Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PWC Split Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 The fine snow flakes have picked up in intensity, but remain tiny. Grass has completely disappeared, so the little flakes are doing some work. 11F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Agree. Looking nice out there now! I've been holding off on the dog walk. Looks like a perfect time. If we can get above 1" before 7pm we are ahead of guidance. We have a shot at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scraff Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 The band setting up across moco is nice. Starting to look like a legit storm now. Not mod yet but building up. Eyeing that band up. Looks good for incoming to HoCo too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Ehco top scans on COD are fun. The earlier band in VA corresponded perfect earlier. This one is spot on. http://weather.cod.edu/satrad/nexrad/index.php?type=LWX-EET-0-12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skywalker03 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I've been holding off on the dog walk. Looks like a perfect time. If we can get above 1" before 7pm we are ahead of guidance. We have a shot at it. I like that we're getting some of this while it's still light outside. Required ob: maybe a slight increase in flake size over the last 15 min.
