MountainGeek Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Not enough random flakes to officially constitute a "flurry" or first flakes....sigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebman Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Well at least I got to see a few small snow grains. It was almost a credible car top coating! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebman Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 All I was hoping for at most, was an inch of snow. Is that really too much to ask? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MountainGeek Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Yeah I know the storm is just in the process of getting its act together, but the national radar right now could be a new variation on the snow hole! A fire hose of snow running from Mobile up into Cumberland, and a fire hose of rain running from Miami to east of Boston. And of course, we somehow manage to be in between both at the moment.....

You can already see it back filling in Va/NC to the snow to the west. Might not get the totals that were projected yesterday but most will see at least an inch or two at worst I think.

dailylurker Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Forget the models. The radar says this is a massive fail. I don't think we see a flake in the DC area. I saw this happening yesterday afternoon. Radar said one thing and models said another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nw baltimore wx Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Lol. Where's the Reaper? For those not kicking dogs or tossing furniture, the radar looks like it may be trying to begin filling in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthArlington101 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 I'm spooked. Was hoping to wake up to at least a coating. Snow delayed is snow denied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dallen7908 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Radar filling in with light precipitation. In the mean time enjoy this view of thunderstorms off the North Carolina coast.

PDIII Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 You know I had predicted this like 5 days ago.... I think it was around Sunday when we went from a "Big Hit" to "Out to Sea". This storm never really impressed me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like the good stuff now firing up off the NC coast will slide on out to the NE. Models didn't handle this very well, it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonderdog Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 What is interesting to me was that the Weather Channel forecast on WMAL late yesterday afternoon was saying an inch or two at most (don't know if they upped their totals later),when the models were saying a few inches more. I was wondering what they were seeing at the time that the models weren't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BristowWx Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Flurries have begun. 33. God speed folks. It might not be what as much as we wanted but it’s something, it’s snow, so have a cup of cheer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showmethesnow Posted December 9, 2017 Author Share Posted December 9, 2017 Just to give you an idea with what we are dealing with. Below is the HRRR with current conditions. Below that is it's previous run at 1 hour. Very noticeable changes within the trough of low pressure off the coast. Looks as if it may now be beginning to key on a little later development of the main low. Wouldn't even bother looking beyond that on the HRRR considering the changes we see within in just 1 hour. Now whether the other meso and/or globals have a better handling of this feature is yet to be determined. So what I guess I am saying is, lets see what happens down there in the next 6 hours or so before we write this whole thing off as a Fail. For whatever it's worth, from what I have been seeing this morning I think worst case is 1 to 2 inches region wide, though I do think we are going to see the NW extent of snowfall shrink. eta: Actually the old run is top and new runs is bottom.
