Good returns working through WV now. Yea the radar doesn't look too bad to the west. I think I'm in for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only concern was not seeing too much gom influence, on the radar at least. Downsloping is a beast. Usually need an energetic system. Will know later if this thing survives and has enough moisture to lay down 1-2" here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet will enhance things later. Seems like NE MD is most likely in the best zone for that. There will be a band of enhanced snowfall *somewhere* during the overnight hours but all of us will get enough to whiten the ground. 1" would be a pretty big win in my yard. That's where I've set my success bar. Less than an inch and I will slanstick that MF'er to oblivion and shamelessly inflate my totals just cuz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea this is a slantsticker event but not a bad one to start the winter. It's colder out than I expected. The clouds may helped us for later.

high risk Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 As modeled by the NAM, the dew point at DCA has come up to 27. So the idea that temps will crash this evening when the steadier snow arrives is likely out the door. My only point here is that we won't have one of those dreaded light snow/26 degrees events where the roads become treacherous as soon as the steady snow starts falling.

I'm actually more interested in reeling in Wave 2, but I do think 1" is pretty probable for D.C./bwi tonight especially considering we're already well saturated aloft and there will be that area of enhanced lift.

Bob Chill Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 The real stuff is just entering the WV panhandle. It started snowing @ Wisp just a couple hours ago. I would guess that by 8pm most of the area will be snowing hard enough to start whitening the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
