My brother said he drove literally 4-5 mins west down 108 away from 29 and saw easily 2”+ more of snow OTG. I believe it. Radar app I use on my iPhone (Hi-Def radar) is pretty damn spot on with P type per people’s reporting here and there have been pockets of rain and mix all over east hoco this AM. Made its way into Germantown too.
can really get a sense of everyone’s micro climates per their reports on this one.
Ask and you shall receive. Looks like one should be swinging through momentarily. My brother in west EC just texted me and said it went from drizzle to nice flakes within minutes. Hope you get it!
Great storm so far for us man. Actually doing better than I thought we would. I was contemplating spending the night at my brothers in HoCo because of QPF concerns. Glad somebody reminded me that climo almost always takes the house in razor thin events.
For sure. No model had all snow for dc / Baltimore - especially to start. However, it did have the changeover happen rather quickly, so it’ll be interesting to see how this unfolds in the next hour or two
SLP taking it’s sweet time getting it’s act together off the SC coast. Actually looks a bit more strung out than it did an hour or two ago on SPC meso analysis. Still at 1008 mb. Two areas of increased lift emerging just off the coasts of OCMD and OBX
The race between heavy precip and the column cooling has commenced. All snow reports literally JUST to my W and N so I expect this mix nonsense to be a thing of the past shortly
You’re right. Fall line actually isn’t far very NW of either metro. Baltimore appears like it could flip over ever so slightly earlier but not by much once DC gets in on that heavy precip in VA
Initial p-type and OBS indicate places north of I-70 will start as snow. Downtown Baltimore should briefly begin as rain before the changeover. DC may need a few hours, however. Much warmer there than BAL
