fujiwara79 Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 So the DC metro area was forecast to receive 4-8" of snow. After this is all over, it seems that forecast will verify. Granted it will take 48 hours of sporadic light snow to get there, but I wonder why there is so much gloom in this forum. The heavier snow was always going to be further NE. At least it wasn't a complete whiff like 12/30/2000 or 12/26/2010 or countless others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually has snow from Baltimore-NE before 12z not sure I buy that though I do. Check out the radar, not the model. Feasible for sure that we get coastal snow in here by noon.

Kmlwx Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 The activity near Springfield and Alexandra has blossomed a bit northward the last few scans of the radar. And that linear thing to the west is still persisting/heading east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalfy Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Wish I could be there for this.. I've temporarily relocated to MO, aka no more noreasters for me .

It’s probably far less stressful knowing you’ll rarely see snow than to be teased into believing you’ll get a foot every week, just to have it taken away within 48 hours LOL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accumulating now but mainly freezing snow needles light but steady. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out a more zoomed out radar. Hi-Def radar app is legit on iOS It’s all converging and filling in. I just hope it’s soon enough to keep me in it. Off and on here right now.

CAPE Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Just now, WxUSAF said: 3” of sand, I mean snow, has finally accumulated after 10 hours. Had some decent fluff at times here but quite variable. Just shoveled the deck, walkway, and cleaned off the car. Very fine snow still falling but adding nothing. Sure feels like this is over for part 1. Probably some sleet and rain overnight into tomorrow. We will see what happens beyond that. Right at 3" here as well.

AACOUNTYMD Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 radar suggests that precip is coming up more from the South than from the Southwest, as it had been all day here in AA County. I am sure that someone will rain on my parade (maybe literally) but to my novice eyes, I think this is a good thing? We have never really dry slotted here. . . though the rates have been low. . .still, almost to 4 inches here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the naked eye, it does appear that precip is taking a NNE trajectory instead of E or ENE, which is a decent sign. It’s going to be real close. Can probably draw a line straight down the middle of Maryland and everyone to the East has a shot at serious coastal banding if it all comes together properly.
