haudidoody Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Even down here in Fairfax flakes are mixing in with the sleet when showers pass through. It's a mix of big flakes and sleet right now. But only very light off and on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowenOutThere Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Great radar fill in for Fairfax county with heavy snow coming down though the flakes are a bit on the icy and small side I will take it and we just passed 3'' on the ground.

nw baltimore wx Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I'm going to pretend that the cold is wrapping in faster than the precip so that by the time I get into heavier bands, it's all snow here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m at 400’ in northern Harford right now and it’s all sleet and there hasn’t been a flake since last night.

NW...have you been getting anything this morning? Basically nothing falling near the racetrack for the past 2-3 hours. At this point, I'll take light bands, Raybands, silly bands, bandstands, anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nj2va Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Heavy sleet with an occasional flake or two. This is better than I had expected from the coastal at least here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, radar seems WAY more spotty than any model predicted for 18z today. I'm not so sure. It showed that it would take a good amount of time for this thing to really wind up. Let's see what happens as it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on the Blue Ridge directly east of you, and yes -- never changed over to sleet or FZR here, it's been alternating between mod/heavy and light needles since around 9AM. Currently mod SN, around 8 inches storm total so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear the occasional sleet burst but they've few and far between. Mostly just freezing drizzle or very light ice pellets. I don't have anything accumulating on branches but the snow is super-crusty.

It's coming your way. All snow maybe a isolated pinger. Completely wrong about it being IP big flakes. https://strmr3.sha.maryland.gov/rtplive/d4ffb40500a300ab0050fa36c4235c0a/playlist.m3u8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowenOutThere Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Wind picking up combined with pretty good snowfall rates and a mix of big flakes and icier flakes maxes it blowing into your face pretty painful still just happy we are finally getting snow bands here.

Eskimo Joe Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Just now, mappy said: oh please oh please stay snow when it gets here If you look at the 0.5 degree CC loop on LWX radar, the mix line is definitely dropping SW from York County.

No that actually makes perfect sense. And it’s true. You can see on radar the trajectory pivot and I am mixing with huge flakes now as soon as the banding started to pivot from PA. The moisture feed we’re seeing is being driven by the h7 low and my suspicion is the nasty warm layer that is obviously above 850 is being prevented from mixing by that easterly flow at 700 mb. As that pivots out of the north you will flip quick imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dabuckeyes Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Looks like a light mist. If you stare you might see a mangled flake or two 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clskinsfan Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 That WRF run is straight up weenie for the Northern 81 crew. Would be a legit 6-10 on top of what we already have. Really heavy bands later this evening if true. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
