Man this band is amazing! It's aimed at Frederick next.

 

Yeah. We have been getting crushed for almost an hour now. I wish I had measured right when the 40 DBZ stuff started. I would like to know how much an hour of this stuff equals. Regardless I picked up 1.3 from 8 to 9. That is incredible but not close to the 2 inch per hour rates I had with the February event. With the amount of precip left to come through here. I dont know how we dont end up on the high end of guidance.

You're going to smash guidance outright

Rates aren't very impressive yet eastern side of Baltimore County..I suppse it will increase next hour. About a coating so far

 

the excitement posts can make it look like we're having a blizzard but it actually took about an hour to become a legitimate snowstorm here.  it's accumulating nicely now.
