6.2" total. Temp up to 35F, but looks like snow bands trying to move back over me.

Didn't you guys get a good blast yesterday evening around 4pm with that band that came out of Harford/Cecil?

@DCTeacherman...I have been looking at SPC mesoanalyis to see what might have caused this snow band. Best I can see, the 700mb low seemed to extend south and/or reform a bit over the southern tip of the Delmarva. Lift is usually maximized on the N/NW fringe of the 700mb low, which yesterday was over northern NJ/NYC/NE PA. Then there was also wind and moisture convergence around 850mb. Here's 700mb: I can't post the -2hr (2 hours ago) map it seems..., but here's the link to the 850mb plot and just click the -4 or -2 button at the top right (time sensitive obviously): https://www.spc.noaa.gov/exper/mesoanalysis/new/viewsector.php?sector=17#

I haven't looked beyond today much yet, but seems like we're probably going to be busy for a couple weeks at least. Much of our snow often comes in bunches and relatively short periods, so it wouldn't be crazy.

We've definitely had a little bad luck. Still have very slowly tacked up 6"+. I called 8-12" for us on Saturday and 6" was my bar for acceptable. So we got there, even if it was a struggle. What's for sure is that my Jebwalk timing has been terrible. Each time it's started snowing well and I've gotten outside for a walk, it's tapered off quickly lol.

Hit 6” for the storm.

Need to look at some maps in more detail. Surely something like this has been off and on the guidance for days so it’s not a total surprise.

DC bullseye today. I’m in a bit of a lull and can see a brighter part of the sky in the east. Waiting for the stuff over Baltimore county to rotate through. Winter wonderland outside!

Apparently I can’t add any more reactions today but wanted to say that’s gorgeous! I’d buy a print of that!

It’s the best here no doubt

Holy shit! It’s a Groundhog Day miracle!!! Just measured a fresh 1” on the snowboard since 7pm yesterday and it’s coming down! Dendrites! Fluff! Not sand!!

Haven’t seen a spotter report from DC in awhile. DCA reported 2.5”, so not crazy that you’d be in the 3-4” range.

Based on spotter reports, 4” contour is probably northern AA county west to somewhere near the 495-270 junction then over to IAD area. 10” from your area through a chunk of northern Frederick, Washington, then maybe cuts south near the Blue Ridge into WV.

At least with BWI over 4” for the storm, we’ll have a good chunk of the area painted in the “4-10”” range in the future NESIS map of this storm. Better than the 1-4” aka the participation trophy of KU snowstorms.

Made my spotter report of 4.7” total, 0.8” today.

Weenie casting a bit, but you might see those weaker bands to the east/northeast strengthen as they move west into this better/moister atmosphere?

@Scraff have you had Brookeville Beer Farm? Just cracked open their IPA. Pretty tasty.

0.5” fresh today. Megaband hopped around me and back to my standard snizzle. Glad the DC crew are getting some action.

Radar looks good for NE corner of 495. Sort of hopped over me

Snow picking up. Meeting needs to end...

It's subsidence behind this band. Have to see what else can rotate through.

Thanks friend. Feeling cautiously optimistic...

That's expected. Still looks like it will get here, and probably with mod-heavy snow. Enjoy what falls. Today shouldn't be a total dud as we feared could happen.

5pm Jebwalk is looking prime methinks
