weathernut85 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Maybe I'm being a weenie but I'm in Williamsburg, VA and in the last hour we've gone from rain back over to heavy sleet with some random flakes mixing in. The temperature at West Point has also dropped a degree in the last hour back down to 32 with a 31 dewpoint and a NW wind. Has the rain snow line stopped advancing towards RIC? No doubt colder air is mixing into the NW Virginia Peninsula while Wakefield had the temps progged to be in the mid-upper 30s by midnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon_snow Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Just took a mile long jebwalk in Rockville. Whiteout the whole time. Absolutely incredible. Everyone needs to get off the computer and go outside when deathband 2 comes through. I'll be up, don't worry. Till 5-6am minimum. Jebwalking my life away.

bdevil02 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Checks out as reasonable here on the other side of the tracks. Gonna be a foot after this next batch of heavy stuff....easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87storms Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 now i'm getting greedy and want the radar to fill in more in southern va, which it looks like it wants to do. still looks good for several more hours of this rate. until the low reaches our latitude, i think we can expect these nice bands.

wawarriors4 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Back to 90% snow, I think my area is in a good spot for some good, additional, snow from here.. But I think the DC area really is going to be a great spot for this storm. Full Snow here, almost White Out currently.....just had a gust to 42, picked up and inch in the last 30 minutes or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motsco Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 1;49am. it is crazy how fast it is coming down. I would say close to 10". wind ehh I'll call it breezy and picking up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImThat1Guy Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Walked into Clarendon to check out the deathband. What a trip. Can't tell where the sidewalks end and where the street begins on unplowed roads. Up to my mid-calf. Mix of tiny flakes with solid dendrites, but just coming down relentlessly. Visibility crazy low. Wow. Also ran into someone (a tourist, it seemed) who was stranded and needed walking directions to Georgetown. I helped point him in the right direction. Hope he's doing alright!

dee six Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 sleet was not enough punishment, rva is now in dry slot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Sleet in SoMD advanced west for a bit but it's collapsing back SE. This next round of bands should be pretty intense. I gonna put the boots back on and make some fresh tracks when it gets crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weathernut85 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 sleet was not enough punishment, rva is now in dry slot? I think you can relax. That's not a dry slot so much as the deform band starting to pivot and take on a slightly wnw to ese angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidlothianWX Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Legit feel bad for Richmond right now. You'll get your storm, don't worry. This is DCA's though. Yours will be magnificent though, 2019, book it. It's more than bad luck at this point. When you have a textbook 992 low sitting over Hatteras and an epic warm nose with only 6-7" of snow and crud to show for it there is something very wrong. I can't help but think that AGW is playing a role and SST's seemed to be a factor here. Don't want to rain on this parade though. Lived in the DC metro for many years and I hope you guys enjoy this one. I at least got my 7" and Jebwalk in today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
