eurojosh Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Where in bethesda are you? I'm in SW near bannockburn & its 30 and a light coating of Ice. Have u checked for Ice accumulations? Hah, funny, I live near there. Downtown Bethesda. Just dropped to 31.7, so I guess the rain will start to freeze soon - but the surfaces here are just plain wet for now.

Just walked my dog and my jacket had a layer of ice on it! I would be surprised if downtown bethesda didnt have freezing rain too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UHI FTL Actually, you'll probably go straight to snow, its a Snow/ZR mix now, but still 90% ZR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldie 22 Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Well to be fair it's not all real snow...still a good amount of plastic balls mixed in....radar also shows pink coming in from the south so this may turn into a big sleet storm in a minute.

Bob Chill Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 @Bob Chill could that mean more snow? Not really. Just means that the snow we do get is evolving quite differently that modeled. Coastal was supposed to crank and we were hoping to get our snow as the coastal takes over and deepens. Instead, the 500 low to our W ended up dominating and the energy spinning around that is giving us the snow (and warm layer aloft resulting in freezing drizzle). This was not supposed to be how it happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Still kinda early for the coastal to crank, even for us. Agreed, but the coastal was supposed to be deeper and dominant by now. Not happening as modeled. Low to the west is holding strong and precip moving in from that one rather than filling in as the transfer takes place.

Low to the west is holding strong and precip moving in from that one rather than filling in as the transfer takes place. this part isnt all that far off from modeling imo. you could clearly see the interaction between the eastward moving 500 vorts and the coastal. the inland low might be more dominant than modeled yes.

dobie Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 FR in S/E Fairfax Co. and it's getting pretty slippery. A just car skidded into a rain ditch out in front of my house. Looks as though the colder atmospheric conditions are going to hold a snow band rapidly approaching from the West. Going to be interesting. However, as far as snow goes we were trapped in between and lost out again. This is the year just keeps on NOT giving and NOT giving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
