A quick look at radar around 6:00 last night seemed to suggest that one cell would miss Towson to the northwest and another would miss Towson to the southeast. Then, around 6:30 it started to pour buckets. Seems as if the two cells merged over the area then trained for some time. Have no idea how much rain, but my little back yard pond hole that I have been digging seemed 1/4 full of water (muddy mess today). We even had another round of storms sometime after midnight. Beautiful morning now with much lower humidity!!

Wake up and enjoy the sleet!

moderate sleet with flakes mixed in Towson

light steady snow in Towson.

It was my first year teaching in Baltimore County Schools. We missed so many days due to ice that that tacked on 30 minutes to each day for the last month of school. Also had to teach on Memorial Day. But the amount of ice was incredible! Loved it!!

rain/snow mix in Towson. Sky getting that pinkish/orange look from snow reflecting city lights

Radar looks decent to me. Seems to have filled in some in the past hour

pellets, flakes, drops south of Towson. Getting to see frozen before sleep = win

Snow is thinking about sticking to sidewalks now in Towson. Already a win in my book. Pretty!

Moderate snow with smallish flakes in Towson. Grass trying to whiten. Hurry up sun and set

Like it! One more big storm....March 7? or later? I kind of am thinking we end winter with a big coastal storm this year, then it gets really warm. Hope your guesses are close to correct.

OK, based on my Winter snowfall contest predictions, I will go with these numbers for the win IAD: 8.4 DCA: 1.1 BWI: 13.2 RIC: 2.4 MBY: 39.9

light snow now in Towson. dry tongue here.

Still snow+ in Towson. Back from a perfect snow drive!!

Always appreciate your insight!

cae, excellent post analysis. You obviously put a good deal of time into collecting all of the map comparisons! Always interesting to see which models are picking up on certain aspects of a storm. Thank You!

BWI?

Can you give me the link to this radar?

Okay, here is my "real" guess. Thinking we will see several events like today....mixy with more north and west. Also low balling SBY because they got their fill of snow last year. Would love to go super big with all of the good signs this year so far, but am fearful of the fact that even when the stars align, it can be hard to get snow around here. Hope reality is much higher than my predictions. BWI: 28.8" DCA: 17.7" IAD: 33.3" RIC: 15.5" SBY: 9.9"
