SnowCane

Close to an inch in Gaithersburg with the side roads and parking lots covered. Looks like winter!

Mixing in Gaithersburg!

Ending the weekend just like I started the weekend, 33 rain and beer.

Flipped to sleet in Gaithersburg. Sleet > Rain

Dusting on the grass now in Gaithersburg. At this point I refuse to look at models and just live in unfounded optimism believing that it'll stay snow. On another note, man this is a strong system. It's been a long time since we've seen so many tornado warnings with confirmed large tornadoes on the ground.

Rain/Snow mix in G'burg has switched over to moderate wet snow now. Not sticking to anything but sure does look nice out there!

Snow in Gaithersburg!

The NAMs aren’t bad. Trending a little colder at least. The Baltimore guy claiming it gives him 4” tonight and 5” Sunday must be smoking something good though.

Getting a little freezing drizzle in Gaithersburg. A few small icicles on leaves and street signs but nothing major. There's actually running water on the edge of the streets where it's melting on the roadways.

Snow is finally mixing with sleet in Gaithersburg. It's been a fun event, glad I walked around while it was ripping fat flakes. Best snow I've seen since moving here from Bama!

Been walking around for the last couple hours, it's just amazing out there! Just got back and measured 5" even in Gaithersburg now.

Wow it's amazing out there! Snowing so hard you can hear the flakes hitting the ground. Measured 2.25" about 10 min ago here in Gaithersburg.

The snow picked up fast in Gaithersburg. Pouring flakes. Small-medium size but there are a lot of them. Roads/sidewalks covered.

The latest HRRR really wasn't terrible considering it's literally one run, of course there will be variation so this one 0z run will likely not be close to what actually happens. Even this bad run gave DC 2" of snow and plenty of sleet after that.

Gaithersburg, MD at noon.

Gaithersburg, MD 11:15 pm

My boyfriend is in Gaithersburg, MD already although I haven't made the move yet. Here's a pic of the first flakes flying. (Hoping this pic works since I'm new here)

Hey everyone, This is my first post and I just wanted to say this is a great discussion and I couldn't be more thankful to be following along. I'm moving to Gaithersburg, MD next Tuesday from Mobile, AL and was actually supposed to drive up this weekend but I delayed because of the storm. I'm a weather enthusiast and while living on the gulf coast, I typically follow the models closely during hurricane season. It's been fascinating seeing the posts here regarding winter storms because y'all follow these winter low pressure's just like we follow tropical low pressure systems in the Caribbean/gulf. Enjoy the snow!
