I’ve got a Davis VP2 at Deep Creek but I think I’m going to get the tempest for here after reading your post — I wanted to get something cheaper than the Davis for here since…let’s be honest….it’s usually 35/rain in winter anyways.
Is that a haiku? Not sure I agree with Kuchera not being great -- I think its a good tool to use to evaluate but snowmaps (10:1, snow depth change, Kuchera) shouldn't be taken verbatim but rather evaluated as one piece of overall guidance.
LWX expanded the WSW to Garrett County (which makes sense based on guidance).

Super long range 00z HRRR QPF map shows the banding potential the Twitter Mets highlighted earlier. This run of the HRRR puts one basically right along I-95.
I’d take this run in a heartbeat.
