Amped Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Coastal is still just a couple of gravity waves. Looks like a foew more hours until the band makes it off the Del marva. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebman Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 ABC News is a massive FAIL. They were trumpeting heavy snow from Raleigh NC thru VA thru DCA up to NYC. Jesus. OF COURSE NYC and Boston will get heavy snow. But not VA or DC. G-d they LOVE to spread panic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BethesdaWX Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Is it me or is that band slowing down? Latest NEXRAD definitely slows it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psuhoffman Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 there is no coastal, this is from the primary over Ohio... look at the current surface, h7 and h5...do you see any energy associated with that weak trough along the coast? This has evolved totally different from modeled. There will be a coastal later tonight...as the upper energy from the west catches up to the weak wave along the coast it will finally deepen but right now the primary is still the low in the midwest going into PA. http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/nwprod/analysis/namer/ruc/hr4/images/ruc_p01_000l.gif http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/nwprod/analysis/namer/ruc/hr4/images/ruc_700_000l.gif http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/nwprod/analysis/namer/ruc/hr4/images/ruc_500_000l.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Thats wild, cause I swear people told me that mountains would sap this system of all the energy people that shouldnt be listened to apparently. in some ways it is similar to sat morning with the mid lvl energy touching off convective like bands http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/nwprod/analysis/namer/nam/18/images/nam_500_006m.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormpc Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 It's been snowing for about an hour in Charlottesville. All of the side roads are covered with a nice thick coating. Thats good because radar isnt showing anything out your way. Maybe too much in the middle of the 3 regionals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebman Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Steady freezing drizzle has now changed over to fine ice pellets. The damage however has already been done in N VA tonight with hours of steady freezing drizzle in 27 degree weather. Ice is everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 It's insane how off the models were with this weather tonight a 500 low passing to your north is bad 9.5 out of 10 times.. it generally means the coastal will bomb to your northeast. we may have gotten screwed slightly but in retrospect people were probably hoping for more than they should based on the look.

Jebman Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 We're going to get our .25" of QPF and still not get an inch of snow thanks to all this snow grain/sleet crap That's precisely our plight. I think I have already had about .10 to .20 worth of steady freezing drizzle in the past few hours. That's just great. It sucks to be stuck in the DC snow hole. We got drizzled right out of our allotted snow qpf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
