Timing will be key though as we want the start before sunrise to get a base layer down. Base layer? On what the roads? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxdude64 Posted January 17, 2024 Share Posted January 17, 2024 Posting here too since this will affect incoming radar hallucinations lol... National Weather Service Blacksburg VA 1014 AM EST Wed Jan 17 2024 ...WSR-88D KFCX DOWN UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE DUE TO MAJOR EQUIPMENT FAILURE... A major physical component of WSR-88D KFCX has failed and will have to be replaced. Time to restoration is unknown as this time and thus the radar will be down until further notice. In the meantime, relatively good coverage of precipitation echoes across the RNK service area can be obtained using neighboring radars or composite radar displays. Neighboring radars include Charleston WV (KRLX), Sterling VA, (KLWX), Wakefield VA (KAKQ), Raleigh NC (KRAX), Greenville- Spartanburg SC (KGSP), and Morristown TN (KMRX). 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MD Snow Posted January 17, 2024 Share Posted January 17, 2024 You’re right. It’s over. Move onI’m not writing it off. It just seems like the Nam’s were a bit north from 6z. Rgem hardly gets any precip to Baltimore south. Still a good chance we get 1-3” but Baltimore south has very little margin for error. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weather Will Posted January 17, 2024 Share Posted January 17, 2024 I don't understand the negativity..... I mean the NJ people must be upset they are not getting the JB blizzard, I would be thrilled with another 3 inches or so before the February reload. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps this time since it’s already quite cold all the way to the gulf coast, models are underestimating how far south this SW tracks / digs, but idk. I’m just an amateur weenie. Wouldn't surprise me at all if it tracks further south, like along the snow cover line. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adelphi_sky Posted January 17, 2024 Share Posted January 17, 2024 You get a feel for how things are when you come to the website and you see only 14 pages in a storm thread since yesterday instead of 40. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be happy with some snow showers that drop an inch at this point. Even here in UHI melt-town, there is still snow clinging to tree branches. That is so rare here. My snowpack in the yard has barely changed...high temps below freezing...kids get another day sledding... this is the january dream, even without more to come. Another 2" is icing on the cake if it happens. Let's go RGEM/ICON, come on GFS. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve also JUST seen a solid areawide 4-6” snow with cold temps and an unmelted snowpack, so people aren’t foaming at the mouth as much. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're likely to get at least a little snow on snow...and this is the first snow that wasn't immediately washed away, and as a bonus, not melted away in a couple days--that we've had in sometime. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
