Sterling 1213 PM EST Mon Jan 30 2017 ...POTENTIAL WINTER COMMUTING HAZARD FOR THE BALTIMORE AND WASHINGTON METRO AREAS TUESDAY MORNING... There is a potential for hazardous commuting conditions for the Tuesday morning commute. A period of snow is POSSIBLE (a 30 to 60 percent chance) Tuesday morning across the Baltimore/Washington metro areas with up to a half inch of snow accumulation possible on roads. The best chance for accumulating snow will be north of Interstate 70 in north-central Maryland as well as north and east of the Baltimore Beltway in northeastern Maryland. If this threat does materialize during the Tuesday morning rush- hour, many roads could quickly turn icy. This could lead to dangerous traveling conditions, multiple accidents, and extensive delays. If commuting Tuesday morning, be aware of the POSSIBILITY of significant travel disruptions. Plan ahead by allowing for extra travel time, and consider using public transportation and telework options. Stay tuned for updates on this potential winter weather episode.

showmethesnow Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Have always loved snow squalls. Just had one pass through for the last 15 minutes. Temp dropped from 33 to 29 degrees in at the most 2 minutes and to 27 through the duration. Ended up on the deck and grassy surfaces with roughly half an inch. The progression of snow was interesting as well. Went from needles to popcorn snow and then ended with small cotton balls of dendrites. And now the sun is breaking through. I'll take it, especially this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskimo Joe Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Pretty vigorous low level lapse rates, really aiding the spread of the squalls. Some of the pictures from the Thurmont area on Twitter show the convective nature of the clouds. I wouldn't be surprised to see a lightning strike or two near the mountains where the terrain can enhance the activity. Surprised there hasn't been some hellacious wreck on an interstate in the mountains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonjon Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Only got around 7" total over three days for the highly anticipated upslope event. But since yesterday morning we've picked up nearly a foot. Go figure. Occasional heavy squalls still rolling through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichmondTarHeel Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I stayed home from work (in Tysons Corner) just because I could, but now I'm wishing I had went to the office. Looks like I'm just a tiny bit too far south to be seeing these squalls. Tyson's may be getting in on the action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osfan24 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Picked up a dusting on grassy surfaces with that latest wave. Probably have about .5 in total at this point combined today from all the snow showers. Easily top 5 event this winter. Picked up nothing last night.
