NoVaWx Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I wonder what causes this all the time. Snow so close yet so far away, even snowing in front royal. This radar doesn’t lie I’ve tested it many times it’s actually snowing all around except in the snow hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 That is just the radar beam and the curvature of the Earth causing that. Radar beam is too low around IAD so it misses the snow/clouds nearby. Google "radar cone of silence" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live near lwx and not a flake in sight, but if you were to go outside of this snow hole it’s snowing in for example glen burnie. I believe the corn fuel theory or something of that sort.
