Another round of snow building in Delaware and Chester/Lancaster counties pivoting west.

I'm going to clear 6 inches if this keeps up.

I've got the regional radar up and there's activity reforming behind it over southern Chester County. Even some of the stuff near Philly might pivot in later this evening.

Pouring dendrites.

SN+ Reisterstown...wow

For the northern crew, if you have snow reports, I'm sure NWS Sterling would appreciate them. [email protected]

Sent you a PM.

I'm glad I left my Christmas lights up outside. Finally I have an excuse for my laziness.

Snow starting to pick up again in Reisterstown.

Catoctins about to jackpot again.

SPECI from Camp David AWOS for 'indefinite sky'.

LWX nudged the numbers up for jackpotville: MDZ001-005-006-008-507-508-020445- /O.CON.KLWX.WS.W.0002.000000T0000Z-210202T1400Z/ Garrett-Carroll-Northern Baltimore-Cecil-Northwest Harford- Southeast Harford- 341 PM EST Mon Feb 1 2021 ...WINTER STORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 9 AM EST TUESDAY... * WHAT...Heavy snow.

Several 12 - 16 reports in some earlier pages in northern Frederick County. Might see someone pop a 20" number towards Ft. Ritchie or Sabillasville.

Lancaster goes SN+. This band coming down means business.

APG ASOS just put a SPECI out for 5/8SM visibility as the band started coming in. LNS up in PA just went indefinite sky. Good to see.

Another band reloading along the Berks/Lancaster County border headed SW. . .

Damn, northern Frederick County *has* to be getting some terrain enhancement.

M0.5" new snow on the snowboard in Reisterstown since 1:30 pm.

Yellow starting to show up near Conowingo and pushing SW. . . . .

That band in Lancaster County. . .

Probably going to be a couple 18"+ reports out of the Catoctins and 12"+ out of the upper portions of Frederick, Carroll, Baltimore, and Harford counties.

As the coastal finally strengthens it's grip and torques around, better snow rates should nudge south of I-70 in Maryland this afternoon. I know it's excruciating for a lot of folks, but patience is the only thing I can recommend.

Latest SPC meso analysis page showing increasing lift into the dendritic growth layer. Yum.
