diatae Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Woke to a beautiful winter landscape by this Florida girl's standards. Everything is covered in a glaze of ice. My last measurement yesterday before the sleet and subsequent dry slot was just over 2". Hearing pings off and on for the last hour or so.

nw baltimore wx Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 If you want to see the potential, check out the LWX max snowfall potential. I've got to work and can't post it not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowenOutThere Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Here in Herndon it is still sleeting heavily anyone got an idea when it should switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskimo Joe Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I can't post because I'm mobile, but you can really see the low level jet starting to crank on the 925/850 mb SPC meso analysis. Should see the radar continue to light up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2O Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 As much as everyone loves radar and it filling in you can see that it’s not filling in SE of DC. The pivot of the precip shows it’s not in a good spot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVclimo Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 51 minutes ago, poolz1 said: 4.2 with a crust. .42" liquid 26/24 I have been scratching my head since last night wondering how I did so well with accumulations, seeing so many nearby with significantly less. Your ob shows a 10:1 ratio which is helpful. I actually caught 0.81" in the Cocorahs bucket through 7:00 a.m. so my 7.7" measurement isn't terribly off from that. I was under 4 different bands for a long while yesterday, but I guess they didn't translate well to your side of the Potomac. Measured numerous spots around the property and finding 7" minimum on the level, even with compaction. Snowing again here at 26 degrees. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clskinsfan Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 My area really just lucked out so far with this one. We have had these little 5 mile wide snow bands of moderate snow hit us. Pure luck. But I will take it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
