George BM Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 1 hour ago, Round Hill WX said: The roads are icy. Saw a bunch of crashes on my way into work. Yeah. I wasn't anticipating skies being clear the whole night (I expected temps between 32-36F for my pre-dawn run (Actual Low: 28F)).So during my run this morning I was anxiously awaiting some rogue black ice on the damp looking pavement and roads to cause me to wipe out. I, however, survived unscathed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A nasty drive on 68 though with the fog and rain. Mountains should get 2-4” from the Tuesday clipper. Hope so! My snowpack has been decimated, only shoveled piles remain.

EastCoast NPZ Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I wish we could get a run of cloudy days like this in July or August. Sheesh. I think we've had like 3 sunny days since that snow storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is after the storm finished before the freezing rain. I know you won't care but I felt compelled to at least present my case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast NPZ Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Another cloudy, cool, dank day. Predictably, again, not a flake of snow, just a few spits of sprinkles. For just once, just one stinking time in my life, I wish we could get seemingly-endless cloudy, cool weather AFTER a snow storm. Just once, instead of the inevitable bright sunshine that immediately eviscerates the snow irregardless of temperature. Just once. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George BM Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 There's an interesting vorticity-max showing up on LWX radar centered near the eastern tip of the WVA Panhandle. Perhaps it enhanced any showers/snow showers this afternoon? https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/nexrad/index.php?parms=LWX-N0Q-1-48-50-usa-rad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWxLuvr Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Mid Atlantic snow showers are snow flurries anywhere else. If you’ve never experienced convective snow showers you’re missing out. Not sure you can get those on the east side of the mountains. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once in a while we luck into more legit convective snow showers like on February 9, 2017, ... April 9, 2016 from NVA into SMD, ...and, of course, the favorite recent convective snow event in these parts... February 14, 2015. I'd love more than anything to experience a January 25, 1985 event here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were below zero for about 60 hours ... bottom at -26 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
