DDweatherman Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Just now, psuhoffman said: 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. Yep. I have a few flakes mixing in here as well as that band gets to our doorstep and the bigger batch of bands/precip pushes SW towards us. I don't hate the radar presentation as of now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Def noticed a change in the radar over the last hour, previously all bands were coming from the southeast, but now its coming out of PA towards the southwest. my wishful thinking was a lucky break. I'm in between bands right now, good band down from Kingsville through Hereford up towards Hampstead, then another band rotating out of PA from Shrewsbury down east of Jarrettsville. Fingers crossed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imgoinhungry Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 When do models have precip clearing out of northern maryland? Getting a lot more ice than expected... roads have got to be a nightmare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErinInTheSky Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Still sleeting in Germantown, and freezing rain. Actually getting some pretty neat ice accumulations on things. Still 2" of snow total for the storm though. Seriously wondering if December's storm will end up being better for me. I'd like to please at least reach the amount of snow for this to be called a Bust on Capital Weather Gang's forecast please! I haven't even reached their lowest "bust" total yet lol!

We've been in on and off sleet with some flakes mixing in. As that area fills in I suspect we could see more snow for a little bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notvirga! Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Owings mills has changed from freezing rain to what I would call “snow mist”. Basically drizzle but it’s actually tiny flakes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vastateofmind Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Moderate sleet for past 30 min, back to plain drizzle now, holding at 33. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowenOutThere Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I think the snow is feeding back into itself for southern Fairfax Co and then moves to near where I am in Western Fairfax. Don't what what that means for me but with the good flake size and moderate snow it looks good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
