Wow that's nice.

The old GEM/Euro. Gimme

A steady, light snow in Reisterstown.

Yellow showing up at night!

Some yellows near Front Royal.

Decent dewpoint spike at our Westminster and Clarksville mesonet sites. Snow should be starting shortly in the western suburbs of Baltimore.

We're going to get some snow-on-snow tonight. Yippee!

Some decent returns all the way back to Cincinnati. Wonder if this thing has nudged further NW than thought?

Advisories for DC metro and points south.

Could you just imagine if we tripped into a 5" - 8" event somehow? It would be a tremendous mood booster.

The hours leading into events are always my favorite. No matter how much frozen is forecast to fall, it's always wonderful watching the cirrus shield out the sun and give those lovely sunsets.

First returns visible to our southwest on Sterling's radar.

Good catch. We seem to win the most when the boundary is laid ahead of the southern stream energy, but not so far off that we lack enough lift to maximize the potential.

Jan 2018 was a legit ice storm in NW Montgomery County. IIRC, we got upgraded to an Ice Storm Warning after trees started coming down and pulling electrical lines off houses and starting fires at the meters.

Would absolutely love to see high temperatures kept below 25 today. It's been years since I've experienced that. Cold, dry, grey winter days are delightful.

HRRR is a @Bob Chill special.

Sounds like you'll get it fixed soon. I was almost deployed down to help.

Hope you jackpot!

If you could get 3 copies, that would be amazing. We're installing a station in Friendsville this spring and you're welcome to come by. Or you could DM me and mail the copies. Either way, we're very appreciative!

Wait what? What newspaper is this?

Yea that much is becoming certain. That's a good thing even up here. With expansive snow cover it reinforces our CAD potential and can mitigate a torch day.

It may not translate to much success up in these parts, but it's encouraging to see the storm overperform in Arkansas this evening. A couple of mesoscale discussions out and the surface obs are showing decent snowfall rates. If I were south of DC I would be optimistic.

One more clip with Paul Kocin

This was an event that was "well forecast" to slide south of DC proper. However, it became obvious the night before that something was seriously off with the forecast. The radar did not match the model guidance at all the night before,. The upper air presentation was also far more robust than what guidance was predicting. Ultimately, locations east of US 15 wound up with over 6" of snow, and several spots east of I-95 topped a foot.

I would say that Jan 25, 2000 and Jan 27, 2011 events were the two biggest "boom" scenarios for snow in these parts.

Watch this thing become a 3" - 5" event last minute.
