Considering its snowfall forecast, we must geti into some wicked rates sometime soon...

in the time it took me to go down a flight of stairs, get a coat out of a car and come back up the stairs it went from 3 flakes to light snow....talcum powder snow right now, visible under street lights.

CIGs dropping along I-95, down to 7500 at ILG and TTN... moistening from the top down.

Trenton should expect a dusting, right?

I think they'll get at least a coating.  An inch certainly not out of the question.  Snow shouldn't start til nearly midnight.

im starting to wonder if anyone north and west of ACY sees more than just flurries. dewpoints are still well below zero and radar trends dont seem encouraging. maybe im just being too impatient

[AvantHiatus]

It's snowing quite nicely. I can already tell you ratios are very good, very pretty snow.

Its got a nice layer of air to moisten up, but it seems to be working on it.  Watch cloud bases on ASOS's, they should steadily drop through the evening.  Also watch the virga hole on radar fill in.

Looks to be coming down nicely in Cape May (camera pans so be patient):

yea,,,at least the radar is beginning to blossom and showing more northward movement. the 0z nam has also stuck to its guns so maybe we can still get that 1-2" at the shore. im a bit more hopeful

At my place in Sea Isle City NJ the webcam shows it snowing steadily with a temp of 15.5...JFK Blvd is covered

Looks like good rates out over the ocean too

[bricktamland]

Radar returns near Baltimore are nice, look to be headed towards Philly

I can sweep off my whole deck with a broom, this snow is crazy.

[KamuSnow]

Sure....almost like being there. Good in short doses before you want it to be where you are.

14f and snowing in cape may, how often does that happen

It is not doing anything though. It is all virga.

As far as I know, this is the coldest I have ever seen it snow here. Even surpassing storms like PD2 and January 2010.

Give it time.  Even the juiced 12Z NAM said it should only have just begun by 10PM at BWI.  That seems about on track, maybe slightly slow.

Not often.

 

Snow has pushed into the upper part of CMC.

Snowing in Ocean City

Just saw the first flake fall E of KACY.  It was a pretty good sized flake as flakes go.
