300 square feet Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Moderate snow in Reston. 3/4” already 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxmeddler Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 I have to say I’m a bit disappointed in the flake quality. Not nearly supersaturated enough upstairs to get the dendritic growth. This is mostly looking like plates. The kuchera stan’s are gonna get a surprise when they stick their ruler in for this part of the storm. 8:1 to 11:1 Edit: It should get better when we get to the firehose stage of the storm in 4-6hrs from now. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebman Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Enjoy the snow, everyone. It will soon become heavy and pile up. Take walks, dig snow, simply run for joy! That wind will be making those aggregates fly right past the streetlights! Guzzle IPAs and stouts and become fully engaged with the storm! This is going to be really fun! If it was me over in the Mid Atlantic, I'd be up. all. night. No way I'd miss a single flake of snow! 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KAOS Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 This is going to sound totally weenie... but these flakes are super "sparkly" (is that a word?). I can see the sparkles on the ground even after they fall. Maybe I forgot what snow looks like? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve25 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Went out for a walk around 12:25 in Parkville because people not far west of here were reporting flurries. It has been nearly 1.5 hours, and as far as I've seen, the only flake out here, is me 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not nearly supersaturated enough upstairs to get the dendritic growth. This is mostly looking like plates. The kuchera stan’s are gonna get a surprise when they stick their ruler in for this part of the storm. 8:1 to 11:1 The modeled Kuchera ratio for this part of the storm is 8-10:1 with 12:1 all the way into Carroll County. It doesn't improve until after 10z when the better forcing arrives, and even then 9-10:1 for DC and 10-11:1 for an average unless under better banding. 12-15:1 for areas along and north of I-70. Kuchera is doing fine so far and the model algorithm snow from the HRRR is also fine. I don't see anything wrong the forecast right now. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some bigger flakes are starting to mix in now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErinInTheSky Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 The downside is I'm not in Maryland today to experience the wonderful storm, and I miss it one of the few times I'm out of town. The upside is I'm in Missoula, Montana for the weekend and its puking snow here too Y'll enjoy, and I'm cheering it on. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MillvilleWx Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Snow is a steady light variety but picking up in intensity slowly. Everything is completely covered with a solid coating. Storm just begun too. Great start with the heavier returns still off to the southwest with a ways to go. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
