WEATHER53 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Frederick house reporting snow with close to 0.5” on grassy surfaces and 31F. 36 and sleet and rain here in Kemp Mill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87storms Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 30.2/29 Seeing as there is some snow on the ground and is pretty to see, going to get my kid to do some snow day baking. Something with chocolate and cherries. It’s pretty wintry out there right now. Snow is sticking to everything here. Millvillewx mentioned the valley here can do a good job holding the cold in and that’s exactly what’s happening so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diatae Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Rain and three mocking pings of sleet on my rain jacket. Or maybe they were three heavier rains? Anyway, walking back from the mailbox and enjoying the snowy pics from the westerners on a quiet, slow Saturday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katabatic Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 @umdterps29 its the same here in MLP - about a 50/50 split. Heavy rates are trying to do their thing. At least its frozen, right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really hoping some heavier stuff can come through and bring back the pure snow After a lull in Canaan then sleet, we are back to mostly all snow with just a little sleet. Really coming down now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDweatherman Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Areas affected...Central/Southern PA...Eastern WV Panhandle...Western/Central MD...Far Northern VA Concerning...Heavy snow Valid 061647Z - 062145Z SUMMARY...Snowfall rates are expected to increase across the region over the next several hours. Rates around 1"/hr are likely across much of the area, with localized 2"/hr rate possible, particularly across south-central PA. DISCUSSION...Recent satellite imagery shows a low-amplitude shortwave trough over eastern TN, moving quickly northeastward. Regional radar imagery shows a large area of precipitation across the Mid-Atlantic and into southern portions of the Northeast, within the warm conveyor preceding this shortwave. Attendant low-level flow is forecast to strengthen over the next several hours as the shortwave continues northeastward. Additionally, the attendant surface low, which is currently over south-central NC, is expected to deepen over the next few hours as it moves northeastward across central NC and southeast VA. These factors will result in an area of strong low-level frontogenesis over VA, with associated lift focused into central/southern PA, the eastern WV Panhandle, western/central MD, and far northern VA. Most of this area is currently experiencing moderate snow, but snowfall rates are expected to increase over the next few hours as the evolution described above occurs. Rates around 1"/hr are likely across much of the area, with some areas experiencing 2"/hr, particularly south-central PA where banding appears most likely. Highest rates are expected to be centered around 20Z, with rates then likely diminishing over this area as the shortwave continues northeastward. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they’re being little too generous with that area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
