havent gotten word yet....it will be close...depends how they measure....it is melting when rates let up...when I checked I had 2.5" on cartops, 3" on grass and 2.25" on picnic table...

 

That's what i used to get my 2.25".  car top and trash can lid.  Was sticking to everything and looked very nice out

At 5:30 I had a solid 2.5 and I am inside the Baltimore  beltway... woke up at 3:00 to take my puppy out and there was a little bit of whie on my car. So 2.5 inches in two hours.  An inch an hour and it looks like it could go for another three hours.  I would love to see warning criteria.  That would constitute a reverse bust.

I can't believe the schools shut down for a few inches of slush...we have about 3" here too in Westminster.

It is all perception.. in a blockbuster year like 09-10, I remember clipper coming through that dropped like 4 inches and Carrol County stayed open.

In this region light rain causes tons of accidents and snarls traffic.  Put slush and snow on the road with heavy snow falling, then throw school buses in the mix it creates an unmitigated disaster.
