Holla!

A near miss!

State College, PA radar shows the enhancement near the front and in the southeast (near us), mid-level moisture pooling over the area from the system off to the south.

It would be pretty neat to get an inch tonight and not have it melt for 2 days!

what can we expect in terms of accumulations down in southern maryland?

Hooray! The GFS was wrong!

Radar has indicated snow over my area most of the afternoon, but of course it has evaporated long before reaching the surface because of very dry air in the lower layer of the column. The front currently is near Charleston to Pittsburgh. During the next several hrs. as it approaches, forcing and instability along the front could generate snowshowers, otherwise many will remain high and dry as residual moisture is swept out to sea.

Precip is sooooo close!! Sheesh!

It was snowing lightly in Jefferon County, WV. Wasn't part of the frontal passage since the temps were in the mid-30's but I drove out of it near Brunswick.

Snow falling from the clouds but not reaching the ground because the air is so dry. Best chances of seeing snow in the metro area will be between about 7pm and midnight, but it's no sure bet

will any buldings close such as churches and sunday schools?

A new area of light snow is forming near Charlotesville, VA now. According to the RUC, this is what will move up in the the DC area in the next 2 hours.

I held off getting the car washed today because I figured if I took the time to do it....it would snow and mess up my work. Now I'm gonna have to wait until next weekend. LOL.

At least I can sit and watch the games tomorrow knowing that no matter how cold we are here...they are gonna be a whole lot colder! :-)

What are my chances of seeing a little light snow in Odenton, MD? Thanks!

Where is the snow falling right now as of 7:12 pm...not here in Vienna. Go Packers!

I spent the better part of the day waiting to see which would get here first, the cold front or the precip, and I shouldn't be surprised if neither gets here tonight...clearly I have a problem...does anyone know of any weatherholics anonymous meetings in NW DC?

The latest trends are not our friends, regarding snow from this system. The front now crossing W.Va. seems to be kicking moisture to the east, except for snowshowers in the Mts. Still a chance for a snowshower east of the mts., but not likely.

I am beginning to refocus on other threats during the next 10 days.

Anyone see the Terps game today - - Go Terps!

Extremely small "fine" flurries in the Lake Ridge area.

Thought this was interesting/fun to read:
http://www.srh.noaa.gov/bmx/significant_events/2008/01_19/index.php

where is the lake ridge area?

Lake Ridge - west of Woodbridge; north of Occoquan - in PWC.

I watched the Terps game today! How bout them Terps? I bet UNC was asking the same question

nice batch of precip developing over central va. should bring some snow our way

when is the next chance for a mojor snowstorm (4+ inches)

9:30 PM......good radar echoes at mid-levels east of the Blue Ridge, but obviously way too dry at the surface for any precip N and W of the city to reach the ground. Could still see a little with the front later tonight, but still not likely with the low surface dew points.

weather channel is reporting moderate snow in potomac but its not even snowing.. whats up with that??????

what's the chance that the dew points will come up and it'll start to snow????

Wx channel is claiming it is snowing here......

I wonder where they are seeing it? ;-) I've got nada....

Lots of verga here in Arnold....if only it would fall...

kim: Wx says the same thing about Potomac

It is snowing lightly in Lake Ridge but whatever is falling seems to be sticking - PWC.

Virga not verga..haha...anyway I'm sitting at 32F with humidity at 80%...I have a feeling I won't see a flake...looked good for 15 minutes...

And with that I have flurries currently :)

Seems like the bulk of the precip is just to the east of Int. 95 - heading east. Seems like this could be it for the majority of the DC area.

Light snow falling in Stafford at 34F.

Is the cold air _ever_ getting here?? Still friggin' 36 at 11 pm!

My mother's maiden name is Verga. It's Sicilian. Not Italian...

Hope something falls tonight!

Your new site is not friendly to pda, blackberry, or wap browsers.

Well, I would normally call this forecast a bust, but since from the get go, we all knew this storm would only appear in the wishcast, I can't call it a bust.

Nice attempt, overall, I'm not too disapointed.

na: I don't know if I'd want to see it as friendly to mobile device users. This site's intention isn't to give people a temperature and a weather graphic. It's an in-depth site in which commentary and possibility is valued far over minimalism and speed. Obviously, this isn't going to cater well to pda users.

(I know you're probably talking about formatting or script issues. Just my two cents.)

Thru Sat. 28 out last 31 days above average. Was in Richmond area this afternoon visiting my lady friend & it snowed about 9 hrs., with about 1/2" accum.

Go Terps. Go Jayhawks. Ain't got much. Its cold out there.

Havoc-- Yes, a borderline bust. Some flurries were around and about, especially to the south and southeast. Of course, I didn't say accumulations were a sure thing but was probably too bullish. The models were trending wetter and the radar looked great. The problem was the dry air which ate everything up.
