peribonca Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Alternating between light snow and flurries in DC. Sidewalks are slippery AF, as are crosswalks. Just a matter of time (if the event lasts that long) for the roads to start icing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattb65 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Legit SN in Bethesda, Vis down to about 1/2 mile in this little band. Nice scene, not a bad week with 3 little snow events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to pick out one pillow snowflake as its falling and track it as it gently hits the ground. Keep us posted w pics and obs today. I'm leaning towards heading to Canaan tomorrow and am using 6" as my threshold for go/not go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's when you're getting into the good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osfan24 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Just flurries here in Woodlawn. Can just barely see flakes starting to stick to tops of cars. NAM/HRRR combo looks good for 1-2 inches for a lot of people. Given temps, would be a nice event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the synoptics, but the feel of this is kinda like a really weak mini-me version of the Jan 30 2010 event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
real Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Funny how OPM arguably needed a delay today, instead of the 3 hour delay Wednesday. Streets still seem fine Downtown, but there is a lot of traffic cause doesn't like anyone thought it would snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskimo Joe Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Appears on the SPC meso page that our dendritic growth layer RH is above 70% now north of I-66 so we should start seeing flake size increase shortly, if not already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshfsu123 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Treated main roads are in good shape, cause of traffic but sidewalks and side roads were lost a while ago. Still snowing nicely in SE DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
