RichmondTarHeel Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 We're already mixing with sleet/rain here in Richmond. Might be good news for y'all, might be bad news for those SE of DC. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just inside the Baltimore city line near Greenspring Ave. Lol my parents and siblings live within a block of here. Always can tell what’s city and county based on how cleaned up the roads are after snow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nj2va Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Sorry NovaTarHeel but glad you got to cash in with the December storm while I counted 2 flurries. Rain for you means good things for those in NOVA/DC/etc. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psuhoffman Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 2 hours ago, JakkelWx said: Yes! BTW I bet those ratios right now up in PSUland are about 12:1 - 14:1 right now.. temps there are in the mid 20s lol closer to upper 20s 25/22 here now, just got to an inch. Snowing steady now...but ratio's don't seem all that high att. I don't think I have had heavy enough rates or enough lift to get truly high ratios. I would guess around 11 or 12-1 right now. Nothing really special. I get over 15-1 ratios on this ridge a LOT. Many of my biggest storms the local coop recorded over 15-1. Around 17-1 is common. To get those ratios you need to get into dome decent banding and better lift though, if its snowing very lightly with needles that isn't going to get it done. If I can actually get into some banding tomorrow like the 3k says...that is when I can really clean up and pile up numbers with very little qpf. Upper low passes up here with upslope enhancement are awesome. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87storms Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 gfs actually looks a little better than the rgem for dc through tomorrow. 0.5" is a bit further north towards frederick/bmore whereas rgem keeps it a bit closer to the city. either way, another few inches looks like a good bet.

The county does much better -- and we are just outside the city line by a block and a half. Looks like close to 2" now. Falling steadily, but not hard. I wish my son had remembered to bring my grandkids boots (they are visiting from Rockville for the weekend). May have to fashion something out of plastic bags and rubber band. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expat Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I paid exuberant prices for airplane wifi. I expect more pictures! Such a bummer to return to DC the day after Nov 15 then leave just hours before this snowstorm. I feel cheated. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
