Stormpc Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Radar shows some more bands just about to pivot into the ROA valley, clearing the mtns. Maybe this can enhance what we have up here or ....not. Just a wishcast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dobie Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Change over to snow now complete. All white. Very dangerous out there. Be careful if you must travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lsukev Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I give up. Of course the band would start to shrink at the beltway! I hate the damned beltway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BethesdaWX Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 This band came in with a little bit of wind. This is pretty cool I admit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVclimo Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Another band of 30dbz poised to move in here. May be enough to pull off the 2" total I was expecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDstorm Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Driving west bound on I-70 in Howard County, it is a mess. Completely snow covered with horrible visibility. Traffic moving at 20 mph. Very heavy snow falling in western Howard County now. Conditions are really bad. I love this stuff! MDstorm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psuhoffman Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 disagree that it's that different than modeled. there may be less coastal play for some but on sim radars etc you could see the band moving in from the west. right but it was supposed to fill further south and east and be less convective banded like it is now. The total lack of precip down towards EZF was a sign earlier. The coastal had almost no influence on this. We are getting a quick shot as the VV's from the upper energy out west moves by just to our north. In a way the GFS was pretty good on this, it was the NAM from yesterday and last nigth especially that failed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchnick Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 thank God for the coastal I was really worried about our friend to the NE http://weather.unisys.com/surface/sfc_con.php?image=3p&inv=0&t=cur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steks Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 In City of Manassas it is 29 with a dp of 27. Earlier fr and occ lt snow became all lt snow, then moderate snow, and now again lt+ snow with a covering over all surfaces. Models notwithstanding, the squirrels were busy yesterday.

Jebman Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 The UL energy is going to hit the NYC region and then the coastal will go postal and New Jersey, NYC and Boston will get utterly destroyed overnight. Some of those lucky bastids will be annihilated with over two feet of fresh powder. Then the wind will pile the snow up into 14 foot drifts and the American Wx Forums server will groan under the weight of all those damned pictures.

Ian Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 right but it was supposed to fill further south and east and be less convective banded like it is now.

We are getting a quick shot as the VV's from the upper energy out west moves by just to our north. In a way the GFS was pretty good on this, it was the NAM from yesterday and last nigth especially that failed. yeah i think i agree for the most part. this is potentially a case where looking at the surface fails you. the 500 track has not been good for a while. i think my lack of living here long enough hurt a bit.. i didnt realize that jan 05 only dropped like 3.5" in the city... i thought it was like 6 or something. the gfs did really well as a whole imo outside the crazy 0z/6z runs it had a few days ago that were perfect here.

MN Transplant Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Just ran to the Metro to pick up my wife. Treated roads are wet, side roads are covered but didn't seem slippery. Snowing at a decent pace, but this first line is too thin to put down much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
