Eskimo Joe Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 As @Bob Chill mentioned earlier, it's good to see such a shallow warm layer and that's being reflected with at lot places starting off right as snow. Granted it's not going to accumulate for a bit, but it beats starting at light rain and wasting hours on end for things to cool off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted February 17, 2018 Author Share Posted February 17, 2018 Some yellows showing up along I81 now. If it's all snow then good reports from our western folks should be inbound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like a general 1-3" for the county, but I can see 2-4" verifying for areas north and east of Germantown with a good band at some point. Clarksburg/Laytonsville/Olney/Damascus in the running. Agree. It's all about the rates.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshfsu123 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Earlier start is hopefully good news for the thump... definitely SN- now in SE DC 40/26 - temp has fallen 3 degrees in last 30 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourseasons Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Watching the deer out back, and the graupel is changing to snow (about 4 miles north of Ft. Belvoir). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
das Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Snow/sleet in Silver Spring per my brother. Edited to add: Just started snowing in Clarksburg as well. 39.8F / 25F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entire area is in the mid 30's to near 40 but everyone reported frozen precip at onset. That's a good sign. I'm sure mixing is in my future but man would I like to get a period of low vis and white asteroids. That's better than accums for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskimo Joe Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 I'm up in Carroll County at the FD for this event and we have a clear view all the way to the mountain where Camp David is at near Thurmont. Over the past 20 min they've disappeared behind the fuzz...snow is coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csnavywx Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Nice mid-level lift getting underway. Still some substantial dry air to work though, which isn't a bad thing, since we're fighting p-types. Lack of decent sfc-850 winds means it'll be overwhelmed by the ridiculous advection in the 800-500 layer. I suspect with the warm nose initially high up in the column (around 700mb), we might see some sleet try and mix in on the southern end as that warm nose strengthens. 700mb winds are going to get up to around 80kt, which is pretty intense. We'll be lucky if there isn't a sleet zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted February 17, 2018 Author Share Posted February 17, 2018 Harrisonburg and Staunton have dropped to 32. I'm a little surprised that temps have held steady around here as precip overspreads. Legit light snow now with half decent flakes for 38 degrees.

NorthArlington101 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 It's almost 100% graupel for me right now. Back in Arlington for the next two hours fwiw. Still 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cae Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Finishing off the last of the model runs, the 12z Swiss model came in drier and warmer, significantly cut back snow depth. RGEM ensemble went the other way, so you know which one I'm hugging. Cloudy and 37 here after a high of 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted February 17, 2018 Author Share Posted February 17, 2018 It's pretty rare for this radar to get ptype wrong. And even MORE rare to have snow falling when radar shows rain. lol http://www.marylandwx.com/radar/klwxstate_br.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
