Roads are giving up. Accidents spiking along I-270 in NW Montgomery County up to Frederick. Also in Mt. Airy.

CWG talking about the western band/norlun putting down a 20-30 mile wide section of 8"+, but it'll be a nowcasting thing. I agree with them.

Fairfax County Government closed Monday, 2/23.

The Frederick/Monocacy Valley seems to not do so well on marginal events without some kind of decent antecedent airmass. The only thing I can think of is that some warm air gets trapped at the surface to maybe the first 500 feet above ground.

Nice

The DOT cameras on I-70 right at South Mountain are incredible. That band is really going to town.

Same up the road in Reisterstown off Wembley Rd.

Trained spotter report of M2.7" in one hour in Boonsboro from that band setting up. Impressive.

Appreciate the report. There's definitely a little band setting up right along MD 97 into Carroll County. I polled some of the DOT cameras in that area and the roads and sidewalks are starting to cave.

E0.5" Keedysville mesonet site in Washington County E0.1" Poolesville mesonet site in Montgomery County ^both of these locations are within the western band setting up

Yup. You can definitely see that inverted trough trying to kick up. Looks like somewhere between MD 97 and I-81.

Looks like some mesoscale banding trying to set up across eastern Loudoun County, VA into western Montgomery/Frederick County, MD

Another meso:

Went to a party several years ago with several mets and my wife. After a few drinks several of admitted we weighted elevation strongly in our decision to purchase where we all did. The look on my wife's face was priceless.
