This was a solid storm overall. Best part was the thermals being fairly friendly for mostly everyone. Many got the 3-5” forecast with some likely near 6” in NoVA and will be approaching in northern MD. I give it an A for the performance.

Great to hear! It’s been a great storm for the metros. Very much needed. Let’s get you guys to 5!

Feel better Katie!!

Man. That band near Odenton is a beast. Any reports from there?

Hey y’all! Just a heads up. Forecast seems on track, although will need to watch the eastern side of the sub with the coastal enhancement. That could yield a decent suprise tomorrow if it breaks correctly. This has been an over performer for many, so it wouldn’t shock me. I like the WSW in place for York/Lancaster as those areas of the best place for a positive bust given the expected 85H frontogen placement and deeper column saturation to correlate with better dendrite formations and efficient snowfall. I’m pulling for everyone to get a nice piece of the pie and enhance the wintry scene expected this week. Check back later today for those pics and totals

1:15 AM EST report: 4.3” in 5N Frederick Light to occasionally moderate snow continues. High ratio fluff for sure. Vis around 0.5-0.75 SM. We should make it to 5” here and could make a run at 6” if we get into a good band or two. The little storm that could!

I almost spilled my drink

YES!!!

Same! One of my absolute favorite dynamical meteorology components. Can tell a good part of the story of an event when coupled with a few other factors. Awesome! Should push 6-8” I imagine up at your lat and elevation. If the coastal gets going, you could definitely push 8” imo. Let’s hope!

Yeah. Banding is establishing itself fairly nicely again. We’re pushing over 4” now. Will take an official ob at 1am.

Steady light to moderate snow in north Frederick. Small flakes, but a good amount of them slowly adding to totals. Will take another measurement in a hour or two.

Seriously. This is such a great forum. We have our moments, but the general knowledge and comedic value is just too damn good. So glad I found this place way back in 2011-12. Also, I’m off all this week and next weekend. We need to plan a meet up. I could go for some drinks and grub down in the district.

I am NEVER leaving this forum

Absolutely amazing Jebwak out tonight. Wife and I were out for about 30 minutes just enjoying the amazing scenery and taking a few pictures. Measured 2.4” awhile back and it’s coming down at a moderate clip (0.5-0.75”/hr). We’re going over 4” for sure in these parts and 5” is very well in play. Amazing little storm. It feels so good to be back https://x.com/isothermalwx/status/1747104448374018437?s=46&t=doLb6tkQiomu4dgufikV1Q

Legit moderate snow in 5N Frederick. Solid dendrites as well. It is a winter wonderland out now and this will continue for a while. We might push to 5” in these parts at this rate. Wife and I are going for a Jebwalk very shortly. Will take an official measurement for the area and relay to Sterling.

Yessir! I’m off till next week lol. I picked one hell of a time for a staycation. Hope all is well at the office! Glad we are all cashing in. Long time coming

Awesome! We’ll have to get together at some point. Millersville reunion. Especially now that I’m not 1700 miles away!

Oh yeah. You are close. Right down the hill off Christopher Crossing. That Sheetz is my morning stop and gas fill up station. I’m right up the hill from you. I’ll wave next time

3-6” is a solid bar right now. We are over 2” currently and the good stuff is really just starting. NAM has been steady 4.5-6” for several runs. Sounds right for what’s transpiring. You in North FDK?

I ran out of reactions to give, but I appreciate the sentiment. Include @wxmvpetefrom now on. He’s an incredible Met and a great friend. Went to Millersville together for a time and work together at WPC. Amazing mind for winter weather and analysis. We’ve been looking forward to a day like this for a long time. It’s been a nice storm so far and will only continue to crank overnight.

Was noticing this as well. The evolution is going as expected from what has been depicted by most guidance. Should see some 5-7” totals out of this one at this rate. Combo of 85H frontogen coupled with the mid-level ascent pattern should yield periods of 0.75-1.5”/hr rates for a time overnight into the early morning hrs.

First solid snow since moving back east. Absolutely awesome. Can’t complain one bit

Well well well. It looks like I might know what I’m talking about. It’s time to let my spouse know so I can chalk up one on my side. The tally would now be: Wife: 174 Me: 6 Happy to be on the board

Only took the entire day but it is finally catching on to the fact that there’s a storm. Happy for it

Yeah. Up your way is more delayed, not denied. Southern folks were bound to be better through today. Tonight and into the early morning looks decent for Baltimore Co where you and @mappyare located.
