Any other North EAstern MD people in here? If so what are you seeing? I'm a bit south and west of you, but somewhat close--right at freezing here, precip picking up and changing over from mostly rain to sleet with a few flakes occasionally mixed in. That combined with radar makes me think we're in a sweet spot for changeover just as the good precip/high QPF arrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchnick Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 just about all the models were advertising BWI switching at or right after 5PM and I'm now almost all sleet waiting for snow to enter the picture right on time <JI> I hate wasting the qpf though <JI> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravenmaniac Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Looks like we'll lose close to a 1/4 inch as rain with this, but hopefully rates will still get us into the 6-10 inch for snow.

Jebman Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 30 degrees and pouring snow under a stationary yellow band. Flakes are drier now and fluffier. I have at least an inch of snow, probably more. Grass is gonna get all covered up later on for the first time this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just took a Jebwalk and took a few pictures...moderate to heavy snow, large flakes, turning white (though it's kind of slushy) everywhere right now. Yup. Big, fat flakes...coming down very hard. It's a very handsome snow. Worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
