jayyy Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Heavy snow. Fat flakes. Bands making their way south from PA right into Carroll county and northern Baltimore. BEAUTIFUL out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a quick .75” with that nice band an hour ago but it keeps varying and going back to light snow. That band rolling out of York PA now coincides with the arrival of the best deep moisture feed at the mid levels around the deepening (finally phased at all levels) low. The stuff we’ve been in so far had to deal with the pockets of dry air left over from being in the extended SW flow ahead of the stalled h7 before it made the transfer and phased. Shame we didn’t get the euro idea from 3 days ago where the mid and upper lows just amplified right through with no stall and jump. The secondary would have been captured further south and we would be getting what SE PA is. If it makes it to you intact, you will not be disappointed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MillvilleWx Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 There's a bit of 85H frontogen pivoting through NE MD right now as the 850mb low has strengthened in the last 3 hrs. The 700mb moisture transport is wrapped to the I-70 corridor with obviously deeper mid-level RH across the the northern tier. There's an area of orographic enhancement out west with some modest convergence happening along the Catoctin front and the hills out near 81. That snow will likely continue for several hours until the low pivots NE and we lose the moisture transport within the boundary layer. I think 12+" is all but a certainty for the northern reaches of Frederick and Washington counties. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hagerstown is over 12” as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that area is poised for a bit more than that...I would bet there is some 2'+ numbers above 1600' by the time it settles down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SomeguyfromTakomaPark Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Really can't buy one of these bands in DC metro, but good to hear people in our sub are cashing in. It would be a shame if Philly and NY had it all. Enjoy it northerners! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
