Everything is white, which was my only requirement, having set the bar quite low for this event. 26.5 degrees.

paxpatriot Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Best little storm of the year for me, measured 3.2 before bed, and we’ve added since. Nice surprise given what the Euro and some other models were painting for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Steady light snow. Blowing around as it falls. Temps held right around 33 here all night then dropped quickly to 30 as the snow moved in in the last hour. Solid coating. Roads are probably dicey.

Stormpc Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 25/23 flurries, .4...maybe .5. Really hope we get clipped by the banding sw of DC back toward CHO. Trajectory looks good but our precip should be shrinking down from the north soon. Hope I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

attml Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 You know what I love - when the models continue to spit out forecast with less than we already have. Current in Severna Park - 30.0F, 29 dp, Humidity 88%, 30.35in (1027.9 mb) - moderately heavy snow - can't see the other side of the river which is 1.25 miles away.

showmethesnow Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Just glanced over the models and I am not so sure we should be giving up on some coastal low impact just yet, especially on the DE/MD/VA shores. We have seen some pretty significant positive changes at 500 mb the last few runs for such short lead time. We are now seeing a strong closed upper level low forming to our west sustaining its integrity until off the coast. We are also seeing the trough it is embedded in moving towards a more neutral look as it runs through the region. Now at this point the trough is still too progressive/positive tilted and the surface low (off the SE coast) is forming to far out that we don't see a capture until well OTS. But if the models can continue with their trends maybe good things can happen. We need to see the trough reach at least a neutral tilt (would prefer a negative tilt though) as it runs through our region. We need to see a continuation of the projected strong upper low, if not stronger. And we need to see the surface low form closer to the coast then now currently projected. In regards to the surface low at this point, we are seeing the largest current pressure drops centered just off the South Carolina coast. But let's see where we stand 6 hours from now in that regards because those charts can be somewhat misleading. Now we are talking lead times of roughly 24 hours so odds strongly favor nothing coming of this. But let's see what shakes out over the next 12 hours or so. Who knows, maybe we can luck into something a little extra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Visibility is pretty bad out there with the steady light to moderate snow and wind. Pretty cool.
