isn't that really an artifact of the radar and the dry air though?

Yes. It's the radar beam hitting the precip further up as the beam travels up and away from the point of origin.

Precip started down here when the ceiling got down to ~3k ft. Ceilometers are useful right now!

Light snow commenced here at 11:15pm. Started as tiny flakes with small aggregates mixed in. Quickly picked up in intensity and is now approaching moderate. Good coating already.

Good luck down there Navy. Should be a great one for you guys down there!

DCA still at 6k feet but the dewpoint jumped 10 degrees in the past 10 min - here we go.
