PWC Split Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Big flakes flying in Haymarket. If it was 2 hours later the roads would have already caved, but they are trying to cave in my neighborhood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozz Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Snowing steadily at home, but the problem is the temp. At 34, nothing is sticking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, your whopping 400 feet of elevation may explain why you have snow and DC is rain...lol Nothing but cold rain here in NE Baltimore City... The fall line of the piedmont is a legitimate climo dividing line with marginal events (which are really common). It runs just west of I-95 and even though it's only a few hundred feet increase, it makes a big difference on occasion. DC and Baltimore also have a pronounced UHI effect which is another common issue that divides yards just 10 miles apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.J Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Big fat fluffy flakes over here in Frederick. Grass surfaces are covered and pavement is starting to cave. Looks like the schools got it right this time with the early dismissal. All grade levels were home before it started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically doesn't it actually run through DC, with erosion accounting for the current position of Great Falls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can take the deeper discussion to the banter thread, but the fall line in DC only scrapes the far northwest part. Once you get pass east from the Nebraska - Colorado Ave corridor you're on the coastal plain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WEATHER53 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 1:30pm Special Update 80% snow, light but steady and big flakes. Temp down 2.0 since 12:45pm onset and currently 36.6F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Balti Zen Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 This right now feels like that mid-November dealie or one of the March storms from last year. Marginal set-ups are awful for the UHI that is Balt City. Depressing to watch light rain falling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskimo Joe Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Decent little temp disparity to our west. 34° in Cumberland, 19° in Oakland with the colder air pressing in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't want to derail the obs thread but the technical definition has more to do with geology than elevation. The NW corner of DC is a lot different in both geology and elevation compared to southern and eastern DC. Sometimes upper northwest gets double what the area around the mall gets.
