    Yikes that stinks. Yes LWX is putting up a special 18z RAOB. That will tell a lot.
  2. Eskimo Joe
    Does that include Glyndon and Reisterstown, or is that just for the far NW suburbs up by you?
  3. Eskimo Joe
    According to CWG, M1.0" NW DC as sleet starts mixing in.
  4. Eskimo Joe
    Yea it's going to be interesting to see if that does make that hard jump, if it hugs the coastline then a lot of people win.
  5. Eskimo Joe
    Yea it's definitely better for the NW suburbs.

    M 0.5" Reisterstown
  7. Eskimo Joe
    You can see the 700-850mb fronto setting up already on the SPC meso analysis page. Whoever is on the right side of that band is gonna get pounded.

    CC is your friend, don't live and die by the precip detection view...that is still an evolving study.
  9. Eskimo Joe
    Flake size has increased. Definitely steady SN and it's before Christmas. Loving this.
  10. Eskimo Joe
    Don't look now, but Frederiskcburg (KEZF) just went back to SN.
  11. Eskimo Joe
    27/24 and approaching SN in Reisterstown. All surface snow covered.

    Wes has snow and a few pingers in Calvert County. Definitely a colder start for everyone.
  14. Eskimo Joe
    Drive up to Catoctin Mt if you can.

    FWIW, 12z HREF on SPC's site did not have any precip north of I-66 prior to 17z / 18z and we're seeing precip already up into Mason-Dixon.
  16. Eskimo Joe
    BWI reporting -SN.
  17. Eskimo Joe
    HRRR is colder and a bit SE with the surface low. It still has DCA as frozen at 2:00 pm today. That's a good benchmark to see how well it's handling things.

    Hey all, just wanted to pop by and say it's now steady -SN in the NW Baltimore County. Looks like we're running a degree or two colder at least at the surface than forecast. The 06z 3k NAM doesn't appear to be handling the start time very well down there. It didn't move precip into Baltimore until about 1pm and we've already started. Just something worth noting for up your way.

    Finally -SN in Reisterstown. Was a few flakes then in about 5 min it was steady snow.
  20. Eskimo Joe
    Some good news, especially for the I-95 crew and the immediate low landers. Frederiskcburg and Louisa, VA were -RA at the start but once the heavier precip moved in they've not flipped to -SN. Even Quantico, which is right on the river, has -SN now so there might be a bit more 'boom' with the snow thanks to the earlier onset.
  21. Eskimo Joe
    DCA reporting -SN. College Parks latest METAR w/ 5SM visiblity would imply -SN as well but that station may not have a precip identification sensor.
  22. Eskimo Joe
    Camp David (KRSP) reporting -SN and 22/18. Man do I wish I lived in the Catoctins.
  23. Eskimo Joe
    As soon as it show up on the SPC mesoanalysis page.
  24. Eskimo Joe
    To really score a big boom, we gotta have the 850 low pop earlier somehow to cutoff the surge of warm air aloft.
