Yeah, this was never really a serious thing.

High just drifts off the coast as the system approaches and doesn't force secondary coastal development.

Interesting. We moved to Ellicott City (Turf Valley area) and we had drizzle mixed with flakes and then some very short periods of all flakes when it came down a little harder. I thought I was going to see some steady snow but the best returns out by Mt. Airy really fizzled to almost nothing as it came east.

Interesting looking cell just southeast of Laurel.

It does seem like the line has really fallen apart over the last few frames down our way.

Looks to be arriving here now. Starting to hear a roar outside.

2.1 inches here. Decent amount overnight then poured for a bit in the morning. System sliding southeast of us probably kept us out of the 3-4 inch range. Not much wind to speak of.

Fringed!

Let's gooooo!!! LOL. What is the earliest those of you in the city and metro areas actually look for it to snow? I always think of first flakes being legitimately possible around November 20 and then obviously first actual legit snow December 5.

Just moved from Southeast Elkridge to pretty much the far northwest part of Ellicott City, so hoping that's a good omen for this upcoming winter and many to come.

Radar is underwhelming. Rain still hasn't even gotten here yet.

What even happened? I've been swamped with life lately but literally every time I checked radar seemingly for the past few weeks, it's been down. Just seemed like an insanely long time without radar.

About freaking time.

Call me crazy, but I think it's too soon to be making declarations like that. 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 wasn't that long ago. 2015-2016 was a crappy winter but we still managed an epic storm. I'm more frustrated than anyone at the lack of snow, but sometimes we go through these stretches around here. It was just hard to remember brutal stretches like this because we were on such a heater there for awhile. Maybe climate change is really impacting our winters, but I think it's too soon to say our last several winters have been poor because of it.

Doesn't look anywhere near as heavy or as stationary as the earlier stuff.

Looks like a bust around these parts. That area of extremely heavy rain just rained itself out. Looks like some good rain forming in Southern MD but heading well east of here.

Practicing for January!

Seems like it is working its way up here but seems to be losing intensity as it does.

It does, but it also doesn't seem to be advancing much north. Seem like it is hitting a wall right now.

Looks like everything is sliding off just to the northeast of us.

Looks like we dodged a bullet here. Nasty storm to my north and another to my south. Just a few flashes and rumbles and some moderate rain.

Nasty-looking bow heading into Clarksburg area.

That thing owes me a lot of snow.

Weird. Rain now just hits a wall at the Potomac. Euro still has rain, but it is drying up a bit as it approaches us so it's not like it isn't picking up on the drying effect the other models seem to show.

Radar and HRRR are both very meh the rest of the night.
