Light flurries in Columbia, 21°.

A few days in Middletown NY. 3” snow Saturday with icing overnight. Had to chip out the cars today. Melting water falling from gutters but trees holding on to ice very well. 31° at 2pm. Area’s snow odds for the Wed-Thurs storm took a beating overnight so mild bummer for friends.

Context seemingly the same with all-caps.

4.6” with compaction Columbia east side. Expectations met.

So nice to have a storm evolve generally as expected for timing, temps and amounts …. with the usual over-/under-performers of course.

Eyeballing about 5” east side Columbia but will take measurements in a bit.

34.2 first flakes east side of Columbia.

Just looking at wind vector map animations it seems a low may be trying to organize offshore just east of Elizabeth City, NC ….. and just NNW of Kitty Hawk, NC. Center seems to have drifted slightly to the NE since I last checked 2 hours ago.

Columbia 33.3 with light snow just starting after morning low of 28.6 imby.

5:45am Columbia: Temp has risen from 28.6 to 29.7 just in last hour.

NWS kinda bullish for Mon-Wed for Columbia/central Md. Monday A chance of snow after 1pm. Partly sunny, with a high near 38. Chance of precipitation is 30%. Monday Night A chance of snow. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 28. Chance of precipitation is 50%. Tuesday Snow. High near 36. Chance of precipitation is 80%. Tuesday Night Snow likely. Cloudy, with a low around 29. Chance of precipitation is 60%. Wednesday A chance of snow. Cloudy, with a high near 37. Chance of precipitation is 40%. And then 70% snow/rain mix Wednesday night and Thursday. Of course it’ll change several times before showtime.

Between 1-2am BWI jumped from 37 to 49. At 8:30am it’s 44° IMBY.

Approx 1.05” precip in January ‘25 IMBY.

UHI effect alive and well this morning around 7-8am DCA 15 IAD 3 BWI 6
