H2O Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 4 minutes ago, mappy said: Temp slowly dropping. Was 36 when I got up around 8ish, down to 33 now Mine has stayed anywhere between 36-38. But as it was just explained, my temp will likely rise more as the cold air causes my warm air to burst into flame, turn the ground to lava and cause the snow to dry upon contact. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjvanals Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 In DC metro we want the precip orientation to become more West to East to get the cold here vs the South to North we have now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87storms Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Satellite loop looks aggressive. Think things are really gonna rip near that 95 corridor. Gonna be a snowy scene this afternoon...with football. Lots of winning right now. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baltimorewx Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 The stuff out near Charleston I think is what should continue to build and make for a fun couple of hours later regardless of temps. May not get the accums we were hoping for but I think most of us will see asteroids later on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtracker Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 21 minutes ago, jayyy said: The NWS forecast has called for rain / snow mix prior to going all snow in the afternoon for days now in the lowlands because that’s exactly what most models showed going in. Nothing has really changed at this juncture except maybe for 50/66 south. The fact that it’s 10am and many places to the west are changing over or all snow is a good sign. Radar looks exactly like we’d expect - maybe a tad ahead of schedule with precip blossoming. Not sure why there’s so much freaking out going on. Anyway… 33F mod snow, fatty flakes as the transition occurs I don't get the panic because it seems like things are going exactly as modeled? Our snow was coming until later anyway..weren't we always supposed to start warm/rain? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
