jayyy Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Nice band forming overhead spanning from Montgomery to Howard county. Snow noticeably picked up in intensity. Radar beginning to blossom nicely over dc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty crazy amounts that drop off to almost nothing over a relatively short distance. Insanely sharp cutoff. Indeed. I am literally 2 miles over the Mason Dixon line between Manchester, MD and Hanover, PA and we have zippo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snjókoma Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 The band(s) south of DC are like a weenie Rorschach test. They're either moving north to envelope the immediate area or about to stall just south depending on how you tilt your head when you loop the radar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Paq Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Sorry if this is a dumb question, but is the snow depth portion of the 3k NAM any good? I'm looking at 18" kuchera and 4" snow depth, which I guess could make some sense if we never go below freezing but damn that's a big difference (not that I believe 18" of snow is gonna fall).

For reference I'm actually in Ashburn near Broadlands while I wait for my house to be finished. The two letter fellow he's in a rough spot I think I’m right by you so I feel that. At least it’s snowing for the first time this winter so can’t complain all that much haha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm by no means an expert, but my understanding is that snow depth is generally too low except in highly marginal events. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty crazy amounts that drop off to almost nothing over a relatively short distance. Insanely sharp cutoff. FWIW, I've got snow on the ground (not much), but the 3k NAM doesn't show it snowing at my location until later this morning. That said, just looking at radar, unless that stuff near DC can really push up here in the next hour or two, I'd lean toward the 3k and my area not getting very much over the HRRR and RAP showing close to 8 inches. It's crazy the differences in models and where the cutoff line is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CentralVaNATS Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 CWG just posted a 1hr snow fall map between 9am-10am of 1"-4" possibly per hr.I'm right at around 3" in Stafford for that time-frame. Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Approaching an inch, although I missed the first 1/4" so we're probably there. Didn't get my snowboard and camera out until 5:30.
