Models now ticking a bit north rather than south trend and as Mugs said earlier we don't have that heavy dense cold dry air to our north like we did on the March 5th storm.

I probably just doomed the HV with the KOD.

28.8 waiting for a flake.

Yep, CP, even though it is futile, I still liked the look of that radar with lots of snow to our N and W.

We've got the cold, just need the snow now.Almost here.

37.7 here and I just saw a few flakes falling. Frank's prediction of start time was right on schedule for my area.

There's also a strong orographical component to that, and 850 will likely open back up as it continues east. Have to see how it holds together after crossing the Allegheny chain.....

by **Quietace** Fri Mar 20, 2015 11:57 am

Down to 32.7 in these heavier returns...grass/ cold surfaces seeing accumulations

by **CPcantmeasuresnow** Fri Mar 20, 2015 11:58 am

29.5 steady light snow.

Now if the anti-virga stays away maybe we have a shot.

by **docstox12** Fri Mar 20, 2015 12:07 pm

Same here, CP, steady light snow, 30 degrees.Hoping temps wet bulb down with heavier snow to remain below feeezing.

by **rb924119** Fri Mar 20, 2015 12:09 pm

I'm holding the fort down.....been snowing lightly and steadily since 11am. Grand total of 0.2" ahahahaha going for the record books, I see :p

Light to moderate snow has commenced here, actually appears to be sticking to roads first, slowly though.

Interesting. So the elevation is what is closing off 850? and the enhanced precip is from the upslope right? As that energy passes over the higher elevations and approaches the coatal plain the opposite in therory would take place due to down slope ya?

by **cooladi** Fri Mar 20, 2015 12:15 pm

Light snow here at 1 WTC...
