ErinInTheSky Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Even though I’m getting virtually no more acumulations (I’m probably still at 1.5-2”), the nonstop long duration snow tv is nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When ive had good rates, the snow has stuck to the roads with no problem. When it’s light or pixie dust it’s no good. It doesn’t matter what the time of year is if you don’t have the rates or if it isn’t 20 degrees, it won’t accumulate on the pavement well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psuhoffman Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 1 hour ago, Eskimo Joe said: Remember when you were worried about suppression a few days ago? Again and I’ll die on this hill, we got plenty of suppression. The primary is moving due east across the country unable to gain latitude. We can’t do anything about the fact that it came in pretty far north out west. That was always going to be an issue. But the primary is forced due east and transfers to the outer banks! That’s all we can ask for from “suppression”. It’s snowing into southern VA today! The issue is the wave is coming across at a high latitude starting out and the ridge out west is slightly east of where we want. The result is the major amplification and phase that happens is too late. It swings slightly too east before it captures. What would a more suppressive flow done to this scenario? So even more suppression and the wave would be shearing out even more on approach and we likely get even less today from WAA. And I doubt it even helps with the coastal as it would likely swing even further out before amplifying and miss everyone. We needed the trough to amplify in the east a little sooner/further west. That’s all. We got all the suppression we needed unless you wanted to see another weak wave over NC today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Snow is picking up here again and the wind is too. Snow flying out of the trees. Visibility is much lower. I like it. This is the timeframe the models have been advertising with the best potential. Lets git it. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arlwx Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Measured 1.9" in Arlington around 1 pm. But visibility is back down to a half-mile. And Arlington sent a sand truck this time up the Hill of Doom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herb@MAWS Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I miss the old Unisys site’s 3-hr pressure change map. That would come in handy today to help ID the developing coastal’s general whereabouts. Has been snowing nicely again for past 45 mins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 2.5”. 0.6” last hour so definitely picked up. First time the visibility has noticeable decreased. Wind picking up a little too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Sounds like SBY is over 4", from one of our posters in the S MD/Lower E shore thread. Congrats to those folks just to the south. This waa part has looked good down there on guidance. Glad it verified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAOS Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 This place (mid-alantic) should be like met winter forecasting bootcamp. The training should include two winter seasons of forecasting mid-atlantic winter events. Then again, maybe not a good idea... 90% may quit and never finish their degree. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clskinsfan Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 4.2 inches here. The 18Z NAM snows over Winchester for the next 33 hours. Says we get an additional 6 inches over that span. That will be one of the weirdest storms of my life if true. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like we've always got a shot when the coastal winds up. May not deliver all the goods but we could get to that forecasted 4-8" range.
