    This interface is very slow and seems to rely on third party data for the underlying base map. Given the antecedent challenges with NWS IT infrastructure their move to this product was, IMO, short sighted. I prefer the old radar because it was faster to load, easier to interpret, and still worked when you had limited data connection. I encourage anyone with a strong opinion, positive or negative, to email: [email protected]

    19 for a low in Reisterstown. Coldest in 4 years.

    Yea I made the point to shovel out completely yesterday because I saw the MOS guidance was screaming OVC all day today and knew it whatever I didn't clear off wasn't melting today. My 4 year old single stage snow blower that's only been used once refuses to work now after starting up flawlessly in October, so I can only infer it sacrificed itself to the snow gods.

    29/24 in Reisterstown with a steady NW wind of around 5 mph and dense overcast. I'm not going to hit freezing today and it's great.

    That was a good early season snow boom. 12z RAOB from IAD show the mid levels were about 2 or 3 degrees colder than even the meso guidance. Everyone wet bulbed right down towards freezing and held there and it was a clusterf*ck on the roads. We had like a 15 car accident on I-270 in Hyattstown that jacked everything up.

    On Sterling's radar it appears that we have a sustained streamer coming over the mountains and down in the NW suburbs of DC. Looking at the terminal radars (BWI, ADW, DCA), the precip might event be making it to the ground towards the bay.

    Leesburg (KJYO) is down to 7SM so they might be having TV Snow.

    M0.1" new snowfall on the snow board in Reisterstown. 26/23 With snow on snow that reinforces the snow we've now achieved Tier II of the Eskimo Joe Snowfall Pyramid of Success™.

    Temp falling like a rock. Was 32° at 4:00 pm. Now 26°.

    Any snow is good snow. Snow on snow that reinforces cold for more snow is even better. Snow during the holidays is the best. Snow during the holidays that reinforces cold for more snow is the bestest. It's a simple four step pyramid that leads the way to success.

    A nice 2" - 4" regionwide Christmas eve would be stellar.

    Yea by this time last year it was pretty evident that we were in store for a pretty sucko winter, even by Mid Atlantic standards.
  15. Eskimo Joe
    Probably a brief warm up before the re-load? If it's a day or two that'd be fine, so long as we don't torch back into the 60s or something.

    Got 4.5" from the front end, about 0.1" sleet, 0.2" ZR (RIP pine trees in the neighborhood), then 1.5" on the back end for a storm total of 6". This is three times the December climo for my area and is the biggest snowfall event I've had in Reisterstown since I moved back to Maryland in August 2016. We have more opportunities on the horizon and maybe even something for Christmas proper. I'm happy with this, but it's time to get everyone else on the board.

    Just flipped to all sleet. Big pellets.

    I'm losing tree branches in my cul de sac. Got some blue flashes in the sky and power is bliping in Reisterstown.
  20. Eskimo Joe
    I'm think 1" - 2" on the backside. Would be great with the Christmas decoration up. Y'all have a good night.
  21. Eskimo Joe
    Gaithersburg, Quantico, and Culpepper all have NW winds now.
  22. Eskimo Joe
    I'll still take the report when precip moves back in.
  23. Eskimo Joe
    Friend in Luray, VA says they have moderate snow now and it's accumulating.
  24. Eskimo Joe
    That stuff to your west, I'd like to know what you report when it comes through. If it's frozen we might be in business.
  25. Eskimo Joe
    Leesburg (KJYO), Dulles, Hagerstown (HGR) and Martinsburg (KMRB) all have NW winds now.
