jayyy

7.5” heavy snow. Coastal is getting its act together no doubt

Incoming Columbia and Ellicott City. That band means business.

Snowing nicely up here again as well.

I’m in that damn band thank you very much

The coastal is helping for sure. Pivot is in effect and so is radar blossoming

Anything over 6”, a WSW Verification, was all I needed to see to be happy. Especially from a. WAA event. I will take another 1-2” if that band sets up shop for us. Funny that the dark sky app was the first to forecast 4-8” 2 days ago and was spot on. It has 4-8” for Saturday into Sunday, so maybe it’ll be right about that too LOL! Glad many of us did decently with this storm. Nice way to kick off the pattern before the parade of big boys start coming through starting next weekend! Steady light snow falling currently at work in Columbia (we opened at noon and didn’t close) it is a lovely scene out there indeed.

The last frame of the radar has precip filling back in a bit and perhaps pivoting a bit too. So close to turning the snow machine back on! Come on ULL!!

Half a foot ain’t too shabby! Hopefully we can get another few inches out of this coastal or the passing ULL. SREF GFS NAM show another 2-5”

Solid early morning jebwalk... It’s so quiet you can hear the snow falling. Plows are starting to come out as well. 6-10 am is going to be wild.

Dc on the southern plank of that as well. Could be an amazing scene from late morning through this afternoon

Get ready for that deform band later on man. Looks like central md over to i - 95 corridor around Baltimore and the eastern shore get rocked this afternoon by a deform from the coastal. LWX finally picking up what models have been hinting at for 18 hours or so

When you have over 4” and you realize the storm has barely even begun Look at Those bands heading into VA! Going to be sleet / IR for some down there. It’ should be SN++ For dc and points north when it arrives. LWX update is spot on... people should be looking for sleet freezing rain snow mix in parts of Virginia, south of 66. Whomever remains all snow, just north of that boundary, will jackpot. They also mention the deform band the HRRR RAPP and NAM have been pointing to. This band is progged to hit the 95 corridor if it comes to fruition Going to be a very interesting next couple of hours as far as how everything sets up. Anxious to see where the coastal gets going. Precip is plentiful and temps are holding steady here in central md

Not even jealous of whoever is in that yellow blob. Enjoy that sleet dump.

Lmao another .5-.75 up to Baltimore - ratios are approx 13:1 up here based on accumulated precip and measured snowfall so far. That’s another 6-10”

BWI should be above 3” right now. Reports of 4+ in Montgomery and Howard counties and 3” in north Baltimore city and AA county. BWI falls in there for sure.

So much for a lull...

Ratios are helping central md no doubt. Seeing reports in MD higher than NoVA. 4.25” and moderate snow here in western EC

DC is about to get pummeled

Wunderground NEXRAD radar typically

We absolutely had some excellent analysis the past few days led by @Bob ChiII @MillvilleWx @Beachinand others. Glad we didn’t collectively throw in the towel per usual. I knew we had a decent shot when models had the jackpot in VA about 3.5 days out... best place to be in this setup a few days out is North of the progged bullseye. Planned out just fine! Anyway... should be closing in on 4 in the next little while per the deck ruler. Snow is piling up under this band

band forming over @Bob Chill and points NE into Howard. It’s puuuurrrdy out there no doubt. Moderate, borderline heavy snow. 27.5/25

Yellows and dark greens from NOVA heading straight toward Baltimore city

You ready for the death band? Cause I sure as heck am.

There’s already reports of 2-3” all over central Maryland as well. Like I suspected, Montgomery county to Howard county would benefit from a solid location (south enough for QPF- North enough for great snow crystal growth) The heavy stuff is knocking on our doorstep again! If NAM is to be believed, we are in for another 5-8” or so

HRRR and NAM have been hinting at a CCB deformation band forming over Baltimore metro northern md And southern PA for a few consecutive runs now. NAM has done well so far. This too could happen with proper coastal influence.
