Thundersnow at BWI

5 more lightning flashes about 30 minutes ago! With one, everything turned blue and green. There was loud thunder in the distance on]with two of them. I have close to 4" on the grass, but on my porch it's barely 2".

Pasty. Thanks for the report I'll take all the reports i can get from Ocean county

T&L at 452a. Loud thunder.

Best stuff of the night in DC. Big field outside my apartment has caved. Think we’ve hit a turning point

Judging from radar looks like most of this came in the last 2 hours. We were mostly light snow until then. When I got up at 2:30 there was maybe .5”. 32F right on the button.

Just heard large crack of thunder

6.0" so far here in East Nantmeal with Heavy Snow continuing and 31.3 degrees, 3.0" has fallen since 2:30am

Closing in on 3” and if eye-balling a liquid ratio is a thing it’s probably around 6:1. Jebber completed which was beautiful with the stickage and peaceful as you’d imagine at 4 am. Time for a nap as it won’t be as peaceful when the kids wake up.

I’m just NW of the Toms River dot on that map, I’ll let you guys know what I finish up with. Currently

Struggling to maintain the slushy coating with temps hovering around 33. May need to apologize to the folks more worried about temps. Still nice to see the snow fall, but hard to see me eclipsing 1”, maybe less

Looks like about 2” heading out for a 5 am official measurement and walk though. Straight rippage right now!

Seems the ops led the way on this one (provided the non-torch verifies)

4-5" looks spot on right now. South Central Jersey will get the enhanced rates for a longer period. Some 6-8" amounts likely there.

24.2° -SN

Just checked other pws obs, most are at 32 and mine seems to be a warm spot. Maybe others nearby are doing better than me. eta: dropped to 32.9 and seeing some back building on radar, maybe we got time

I think the radiant nature of the flake definitely made for a clumpy lay around here, and there was quite a bit of melting throughout the storm . I took several measurements, all were between 2.2" and 2.5" but my guess would be, it could have been more like 3" to 3.5" with a better surface.

Not surprised w the graupel type snow I’m seeing

3.75" so far. This is perfect snowball snow.

0.5”, coming down good but temp still at 33. Maybe I was wrong about temps not being an issue

Just had thunder here near Hunt Valley

Lightning!

There’s gotta be some thin warm layer above the surface as I’m getting styrofoam or graupel type snowflakes no dendrites

National Park NJ 4:08 am First inch of snow of the 2025-26 season 32 degrees with moderate snow

At 4:00 am up to 2.3" at 32F so 0.7" the last hour and it's snowing close to heavily with beautiful 3/8" dendrites. Thinking we'll come close to my 5.0" forecast, but not sure if we'll make the 6" warning criterion.
