I love when we get those feathery-looking radar returns that build from Charlottesville and push north.

Radar looks like the good stuff should be overhead by now but virtually nothing is falling. Reports from elsewhere have me eagerly watching the windows... Same up here in Reisterstown.

yoda Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Afternoon LWX AFD: Quote NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... Latest surface analysis shows the weakening primary low over far western Virginia, with the strengthening secondary just northeast of Cape Hatteras. Aloft, strong shortwave is located over the upper Ohio Valley heading east toward us. With moisture influx on easterly flow thanks to the surface low to our southeast interacting with increasing lift ahead of the approaching upper trough, snow has started to expand across the region once again. Ratios appear to be lower with more liquid in the column but expect snow to continue at times through the rest of the afternoon and into the evening, so we have extended warnings into if not through the evening. Expect a general 1-3 additional inches, with up to 4 or 5 possible in southern Maryland as the mixed precip there starts changing back to snow. As the upper trough moves east of the region after midnight, precip should taper off quickly, and we should end up dry late tonight. With temps staying in, or dropping back into, the 20s, re-freeze will occur on any untreated surfaces. Some freezing drizzle could occur on the ridges to the west but most areas should turn out dry by early morning. && 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how much if it has to do with elevation and lift? I am on top of a mountain and it is rare for bands to move in from the south here. They usually move in from the west which gives the western facing slopes the advantage from orographic lift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 Holy crap. My 14 year old son has been shoveling since 9am. Just walked in the door with $315. Reminds me of me when i was 14. He has 1 more job and is going to buy a refurbed macbook. Love it. I used to buy beer and other stuff with my shoveling money. I must be doing something right as a dad... lol 26 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will still be snowing nicely after the returns move away. Thanks, Bob. I suppose snow does fall a lot slower than rain. Indeed, it's really picking up now. Nice to have daytime snow accumulating on top of last night's base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
