Add Dublin VA as well - vis down to a mile at 10 PM but the automated station doesn't have a precip discriminator...

[EXTONPA]

radar appears to show rain in places where some of the stations indicating snow...

[DS]

yeah, the radar algorithm they use is really bad sometimes, especially when the sounding profiles become isothermal. I looked at the GSO sounding, it had 1 C at 850 and -5 at 700 mb. The radar thinks this is too warm for snow.

[ohiostorm]

Figured they could be able to measure it better with all the technology we have.

[krysof]

if this storm were to slow down to maybe 6 hours than the snow totals could be incredible, 18-24 maybe, If the high were strong enough it could slow the storm down a bit, but this one looks to be fast

yeah - i don't like the back edge of the shield already in SC; the direction of rotation may prolong a bit but it seems to be drying out well below...
