I'm really confident in whats to our southeast. I think within the hour down to the inner harbor rips sn+ and the entire area.

 

 

Coming at the exact right time to save the day. That will pivot not far from us and dc may continue to be smoked.

Things looking up for a bit here

 

 

Lwx just updated and largely maintained totals away from the bay on their snow map!

 

Perhaps, but ain't no way I'm seeing 6-8 inches of snow in Federal Hill, which is what LWX's snow map appears to have for me. Fingers crossed that these heavier bands rotating up the bay will put me in SN+. I'll believe it when I see it. No snow here since about 4:00 a.m., even in the heaviest of precip.

2-5" would be more likely imo

We lucked out in getting accumulation overnight, but it's been pretty boring since about 4:30 or so. That band in MD looks to be rotating in shortly.

 

 

I'm in it now and it is decent but needs to dump for a while to get it to pile up
