Agree with LWX and wouldn’t make any big changes based on HRRR, it is very jumpy outside of 12-15 hours.  I think Baltimore to NE Maryland to S Jersey for this one to jackpot is more likely than northern tier. 

The area I live is sometimes like a geography puzzle in this sub - neither the lowlands NOR the northern tier 

Periodic annoying reminder that highlands/lowlands in our region is an east/west thing, not a north/south thing. I can't help myself.

Carry on. Best of luck to all even remotely in the game. MBY still looks decent so I'm super excited for a possible 3+ incher. The stakes are this low..but the frustration in here is understandably high...so if it is a good event imby I will be off the forum to best enjoy it.

Difficult work at 10pm while buzzed but it had to be done
 

I think I like "roofus" to go along with the GFS "goofus"

This was my first thought but then it seemed unfair to insult it right out of the gate maybe too close to "goofus"

“Getting RRFS’d” doesn’t have the same ring to it though…

This is definitely a NE MD PUMMELED Event. That’s where the max will be.

Beat me to hauling out this phrase, lol.

The northern snow drought is not just Baltimore N/W as we often discuss (better climo=more disappointment probs) but it has also been bleak Balt NE for 95 corridor northern peeps. I prefer big snows that hit the biggest area possible but if this modest tiny miracle happens here, we are due.

We had about a half inch at home but I of course had to chase once more during the day and did so between Red Oak and Wylliesburg, VA. I was there in time for the real heavy band which was awesome. Here is some of what I captured:

Gorgeous shots, every one. Well done. I love cemeteries in snow. Also the hints of red/orange/warmth that come through in snow pics/winter scenery IRL, like in these pics the cut firewood, berries, etc...the color palette is just, chef's kiss.

Low of 16. The Bush River is frozen over. 

River ice gone. Geese taking a swim. Hopefully more fun with ice to come this winter.

Looks like a great weekend to head for the hills and go out to Deep Creek... a foot plus via 10-1 ratios.

This prob isn't the weekend but one of these days I have GOT to do this, or a WV spot. I can never seem to get it together and/or manage schedule wise and I live vicariously on here. Have done beach snow but not for a long time and no mountain snow. Goals.

16.3° here - looks like just inland up in Churchville it got down to 12°.

Yeah, life in the lowlands

Low of 16. The Bush River is frozen over. 

High 34 today, currently 30/6. 

Love to see the pics, enjoy the snow day and keep 'em coming

I remember that vividly. Have a number of pics from that day in anticipation due to some funky clouds and during the event. I think Bob Chill was in his garage enjoy I ng it if memory serves.

Memorable here, too. I feel like those of us who got the goods (not everyone in the sub, we will prob be reminded shortly) reminisce about this event almost every year haha. Total whiteout. Most intense rates I've ever seen. Insane drifts from 1-2" snow.

Once again LWX overwrote my 1.5” (which matched everyone nearby on Cocorahs) and replaced it with the ridiculously overinflated 3.0” from State Highway behind my house. I think I’ll just submit on Cocorahs from now on and not bother sending them in.

Ugh, State Highway obs again this year!

Nice! I settled with .8 but looks like you were in a better area.

Only better if you're a weenie like us and 0.2" makes a difference  

12 hours ago, Kay said:

Yep, thin coating. I didn't measure.

A little more snow fell on yesterday evening's coating...I just left that in place and measured what was there this morning, 0.5". This brings event total to 1". 

38 minutes ago, T. August said:

Another dusting here - wasn’t able to discern what was old/new snow so won’t measure.

@Kay did you get an additional coating too?

Yep, thin coating. I didn't measure.

Looks like the final will be .5” on the dot measured in Havre de Grace. Honestly the way it was looking last night I’m pleasantly surprised.

Came here to post exactly this. Also on the dot.

Dang. Maybe I did get an inch? Saw an Ellicott City spotter report with 0.6” an hour ago and that’s north of me…

11 minutes ago, Eskimo Joe said:

@WxUSAF spotter in Sykesville, Carroll County just reported M0.5" snow. I think you got close to an inch.

FWIW (not that much), my dad lives w/in a mile of the mall and eyeballs "barely one inch". He loves snow but more like a normal person/not rabidly enough to measure, and is elderly so all the better.

Popping in, at the hospital now. Just waiting for them to get the baby out. 

They did not treat the roads, so I drove us through the snow. Already had 1” on the ground and the roads were completely covered, and was coming down at a moderate clip. Everything was white. But we made it, and so did the surgeon.

As soon as the WWA was cancelled over Loudoun county, that band came up and just sat over us.

Best wishes!! A Dec 5th snow baby...your snow weenie friends approve 

Immediate powder dusting here.

First flakes!

You’re telling me

Take

Was out driving about an hour ago and it was hard not to be distracted by the full moon lighting up giant cirrus streaks. Gorgeous. Couldn't smoke the cirrus though. Driving.

Sunny and 42 with light winds. Super nice out. 

Close to an inch of rain. Cold puddles. Excellent day to be inside. Getting a tiny glimpse of clearing rn, just a little blue and a few sun-illuminated clouds. Moody sunset alert (?)
