This also doesn't include up to a 0.1" of ice accretion tonight into Monday morning for Central MD and southern PA Acceptable light snow started in sykesville 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ole Bucket Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Main roads all over Charlottesville were questionable for those without four-wheel drive or plentiful experience before the sun roads. Side streets were.. something. Now a little better as the plows come out and visibility improves. Mod snow going on. Around 3" on my back deck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsnowman Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 29 and just over an inch in Centreville. Western edge of radar past I-81 looks to be filling in. GFS won the battle of the models from earlier in the week. A EURO suppressed scenario was just plain wrong. That said, 6z GFS has actually brought some of the CCB back towards the DC area.

Bob Chill Posted January 31, 2021 Author Share Posted January 31, 2021 Nightmare #1 scenario off the table. Woke up, ground wasn't bare, and radar matches expectations. Must have started early here. Somewhere around a half inch already. I'm rooting for @CAPE. If anyone deserves a deform boom in a regionwide storm, it's him. Not that wx cares but I do Eta: you'll notice I totally contradicted myself from the first post in this thread. Seeing snow fall laying in bed is like drugs and makes me a little emotional. If the snow suddenly shuts off in my yard, I no longer care about CAPE 9 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Important for my daughter’s math lesson! Must have been between 4-5am based on my temp/DP trace.

JakkelWx Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Initial band pushed here and dropped a small dusting as I looked outside, just like CAPE said. Also the RH here is around 80% and the final push should have no problem getting here, which is half an hour or so away. 29/24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wonderdog Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I was surprised that the 6z GFS tries to transfer down in SC. Then reorganizes off NC coast. Can that be right or was the model confused? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that wx cares but I do It would be sort of an odd evolution to pull that off, but when the usual places NW are getting jacked with deathbands it's usually dry slotted over here with snizzle. I have a feeling it would end up more expansive if its real. Something to monitor while we watch the snow fall today. Good luck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
