Jebman Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 LWX radar is not updating at all. Please radar operators, please fix it. We have waited all winter for this snow. I realize you all work super hard, and are underfunded, but we really need this radar up for this storm. Please. Sincerely, Jebman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hosj III Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Just now, yoda said: I am confused by your RAP statement. Are you saying rates will be greater than half an inch per hour or 5 inched per hour? verbatim it shows bands dropping over half an inch of liquid per hour... although it looks more like sleet than snow...

Eskimo Joe Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 SPC meso analysis shows a nice finger of 870-700 mb frontogenesis setting up. That would explain the precip starting to blossom just west of I-95. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually proud to say I work for all y'all. I'm the CIO at the US General Services Administration. Pretty tortured career path from research meteorologist in private industry to a Fed CIO. Happy to tell anyone via PM if they like. Met degrees are VERY marketable. Enough of that. Temp is 29.9F here in Clarksburg, it's snowing nicely and everything has turned white. Excellent evening so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArlingtonWX Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 In North Arlington, sleet/snow mix that is sticking to car tops and the dogs back but not on the treated streets. 16 year old panicking that school will not be cancelled. If the rates don't improve stickage in streets, he's in trouble.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxilliterate Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Long time lurker/admirer of the in depth discussions and analysis.

peregrinator Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Snow is sticking to the grass and cars here in NW DC. Radar kind of looks like the 22z and 23z HRRR progs for this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those radar operators need to get up off of their deep couches, get the jelly donuts out of their fat faces, and get this radar FIXED! NOW! I wait all winter for snow and I got no radar! This is legitimately the post if the winter! Hilarious! We are entering tough times here. Like 1850s storms where no radar exists.
