mattie g Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Man...that cutoff is just brutal. As WxUSAF said, that could pay huge dividends for those of us not far south of the cutoff, but I feel for the folks north of it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2O Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Visibility since I got up has really dropped in the last 30 min. Houses off in the distance getting very hard to see. That only happens with the big dogs for me. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm right on the cutoff in the SW Part of Carroll County and we have a bout .5 on the ground with flurries for the past 2 hours. My daughter was pissed that they only had a 2 hour delay today. :-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeatherShak Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Getting some nice gusts. Blowing snow. This stuff is thick. Closest resemblance to Sierra cement I’ve seen in a while. Excited to see some darker yellows and oranges push in from the south. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the edge will move north and fill in for a few hours this morning. Hopefully enough to get everyone on the board. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fozz Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 8 minutes ago, nw baltimore wx said: Northwest edge creeping very close to me, but looks like it’s stopped and expanding to the northeast. Some heavier returns approaching southeast Baltimore. Yeah I'm keeping a close eye on it, hoping it doesn't sag south but it's a close call. For once I am thankful for not being a few miles further north 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowenOutThere Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Going to make some observations from the radar. In the large black circled area we can see the heaviest snow returns, the arrows indicate where they appear to be going on the radar. This means that the major metropolitan centers like DC and maybe Baltimore have a good chance of seeing very heavy snowfall maybe around 2-3 inches per hour rates. The more exciting thing is in the hatched black area which shows more heavy bands forming, these are also moving northward. This means that we will most likely have several intense bands IMO, but each one will probably be further east based. Finally the blue circled zone is where the moisture from the southern push has hit the cold air push, notice how tight the gradient is, this means that we will probably see a very tight snow to nothing line instead of a more spread out precip shield. Or the gradient will break down and it is free to explode to the north, I don't know about that one. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While most of us in our general area have been relatively screwed in the last couple years, you folks in the easter, lower areas on the "other side" of the fall line have been particularly effed in that time. Glad to see you guys cashing in hard! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
