Snomicron is coming for us all

It is. But that’s what I see in the monthly climo report and has been that way since Tuesday.

So 14-15:1 ratios. Much higher than normal for us. On a related note, did you see BWI apparently revised their Monday total down to 6.0”??

Good info. Only 0.2” at BWI, wow. And I think they reported 3” even?

Clearly. Watched the radar loop. That band meant business and I’m guessing we did get some really nice ratios as expected/hoped.

Good morning! Just measured a stunning 4.5” of powder!!! WTF!?! Did a measurement on the car top just to confirm because I couldn’t believe it at first lol. Looks like I slept through some serious fun. All hail King GFS!!

I love everyone rediscovering radar physics every time it snows!

I'd really just prefer if you can drop that purple 3-6" line about 10mi southeast. TIA!

Already 1" spotter report at Frostburg and 4" report from WV.

As a patriot, GFS is my ride or die

Make sure you’re drunk before the 18z euro

Why? Are you just conditioned to expect an unforecast warm layer somewhere?

Good to see you @losetoa6. That was an amazing week for sure. Something like 24”, 6”, then 8” IMBY. Then it all melted in that crazy warm rain lol

I’m driving to VA, loading all the snow that accumulates on I95 into my car, and bringing it back to dump on my snowboard. Boom! HoCo jackpot!

Hrrr and 3k NAM both suggest 2-3am is when things should be purty outside my window. Don’t think I can wake up for that though…

RGEM in camp 2

Some/many/most of us have realized that there’s going to be a middle finger screw zone somewhere with this storm as the energy transfers to the coast and the precip to the west weakens before the coastal enhancement sets up. And we’ve been saying it could be through our region. Seems like there are two places the models are placing it so far this morning: 1. DC northeastward towards Lancaster Co PA. 2. Philly northeastward through the NYC area. Hrrr and Euro are in camp 1. 3k NAM and FV3 are in camp 2. Haven’t looked close enough to try and tease out what the precise differences are driving that.

It’s “related” to the GFS so not surprising

Ticked west for all the main features, but unfortunately that places the middle finger from DC up to me through central Baltimore and Harford counties.

I wouldn’t take the Hrrr banding locations overly seriously. 3k NAM and Euro had heavier precip in the location the Hrrr has the screw zone. It’s clear that the eastern shore and the far west crew will do best generally. Between NoVA, DC, and central MD there are going to be relative winners and losers.

If this little anafrontal deal the GFS is showing for Sunday/Monday turns into a thing, then we really know the horseshoe is firmly inserted into our asses.

As an Orioles fan, I always keep a close eye on the waiver wire and the Rule 5 draft.
