ErinInTheSky Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Radar doesn't look fantastic over me and some retreating/lessening west, but my is the stuff falling high ratio or something, because it's seriously accumulating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, at or below freezing most/all of the night with a freezing drizzle/sleet base is a great way to start for accumulating snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MillvilleWx Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 10 minutes ago, BlizzardNole said: If anyone doubts my very low reports, take a look at this traffic cam right outside my neighborhood. Traffic Cam Rt 355 and Rt 27 I lived in the townhouses off 118 and 355 last year, and there's a noticeable difference between Germantown proper and areas just to the north off 27 and 124. That's where I'm located and measured 2.9" about 15 minutes ago. Was in a sucker hole for a time, but its slowly picking back up. Just west of the good stuff near MoCo/HoCo border.

snowmagnet Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 6 minutes ago, Bob Chill said: If you look at the radar loop, inflow from the altantic and due west trajectory is still the primary motion. That will shift more NE-SW as time goes on. That part is a bit of a wildcard. Could be high ratio fluff in the banded structure or it could just be pulses. For now we're getting a very even distribution through much of the region. Good times. It’s also still snowing in SW Virginia. Shouldn’t that also be heading up our way?

RichmondTarHeel Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I'm now up above freezing in Fairfax. As long as rates stay up like they are, it shouldn't mess with anything.

SnowGolfBro Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I had a bit of a meltdown last night on the forum. I was hoping for some reverse psychology. It seems to have worked.

ErinInTheSky Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I think I am seeing some signs of some east-west flow in the last couple radar frames. Could be radar ghosts but if so, we could be good for some time here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm off Old Bonifant just north of the ICC and my neighborhood by the New Hampshire Ave "ridge" usually seems to overperform what I see reported nearby. Just measured 3.75 on my deck rail.

Could be radar ghosts but if so, we could be good for some time here. This is the money part of the storm where there should be few lulls. Strong moisture feed and good lift on the north side of the ull. Once that shifts to our NE the personality of the storm will change. Could be bands of mod snow with subsidence in between or it could lose good dynamics and underwhelm. Just have to sweat it out. Right now is the bread and butter. Constant mod accum snow for the next couple hours. Enjoy the F out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our area is looking pretty good radar wise, too. At least for the next few hours. We'll see what happens with the pivot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
