Off an on flurries, even a period of TV Snow™ earlier this afternoon in Reisterstown. We got a solid snow pack and it doesn't seem like it'll go anywhere over the next week. Very nice.
-
For reference, here is the winter storm / ice storm warning criteria from LWX:
-
Ah yes, light ZR at night.
-
Yup. Icing is an uneven distribution, and frankly 0.2" zr at 27 degrees is worse than a driving rain at 31 degrees.

Just got out of EMT class. A couple.of snowflakes in Westminster off Kate Wagner Rd.

LWXs watch lines up with WPCs icing area nicely:
-
Correct
-
From an impact size, Event #1 could be the bigger event. Prolonged, light ZR / icing events can accrete much faster than heavier precip storms because of less latent heat release and faster accumulation on exposed or elevated surfaces. Unless it's in the low 20s, rainfall rates above 0.2"/hour won't convert to ice fast.

LWX nailed their warning extension. Nicely done.

Woah is that snowfall?

Snowing again in Gaithersburg.

Sky opened up in New Windsor. Big fluffy snow sticking to everything except the roads.

Same. Hoping for an epic boom for DCA and NAK.

Got a couple of flakes starting in New Windsor. Not sure if there is a pocket of dry air or something.
-
Yes.

Looks like the gap in the radar is starting to fill up pretty quickly. Good to see.

Nada in New Windsor.

LWX issues Winter Storm Warning from Carroll County west along the Mason-Dixon for 4" - 8": More information

Yes. I learned this ironically at the ESRI conference in San Diego where a rep. from the ECMWF showed a data density map of observations and how there really isn't any ship or buoy data in the Atlantic. They were able to pull a lot of commercial aircraft data down because that's the only heads up they get about the mid latitude cyclones pushing into Europe.
