Great event We might do it. If sleet approaches from the se, we'll hold on longer than we might think. I'm surprised its still holding tough to the south with a slow progression. Sleet counts too!

snowfan Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 Remember when we were worried about this sliding NW? Look at the huge hole on radar over PA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WEATHER53 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 These are not precise calculations but monitoring the northward progress of the 0C 850 line it his moving north 5/6/7 mph so that still looks like 9pm for changeover, currently about 29F at 850.

snowfan Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 Awful. I just pulled up trafficland.com and both beltway systems are lit up in red. My wife had to be at AAMC at 3 for work. She reported roads were rough until she got to 50. Things def let up there. Jives with the reports we've received from the southern AA Co folks. On 2/21/2015 at 9:10 PM, ThePhotoGuy said: .....

clskinsfan Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 4:00 PM. Moderate snow. 22 degrees. 7.7 total. .5 last hour. I must have some compaction going on or something. I had moderate snow for the entire hour and only increased my pack by .5. Snow continues to come down at a moderate clip. Radar to SW looks juicy.

Deck Pic Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Here is how the latest RAP initialized for DC. This is an hour ago. 850 is -1.5, but 925mb is still -6. 900-950 is what is ultimately going to do us in. I think the layer around 850 is pretty shallow and can be overcome. I also don't think it is racing north either. It hasn't been very cold the whole storm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McQuackleton Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Here is some good radar to look at that yellow/orange band coming our way. http://weather.cod.edu/satrad/nexrad/index.php?type=LWX-N0Q-1-24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windman18 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Heavier precipitation moving back into the area after about 1.5 hours of light snow. Hoping for 6 more hours of snow with 1"+/hr. rates. Haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowfan Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 I think we're good until after dark. I'm a little suspicious of any change to rain......or at least a change with lots of precip left. I'm still at 23 imby.

Using correlation coefficient, looks like snow in the far western regions of VA, snow/sleet mix towards MD and sleet in southern MD. I think areas north of I70 will be okay till 9-10pm tonight before a full changeover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
