You can see some returns forming from the northern Beltway to BWI. I'd expect that to continue and fill in the space with the band to the south.

I love this part of a storm like this. Highest ratios should be imminent. Snow globes in the bands. Bring it!

You're good mattie. It's going to drop down on you within 30 mins

I was at 13.5" at 5am and then got dry slotted. I woke up from a nap and measured again and it was no different. I'm guessing I've gotten another inch or 2 when the flakes started flying again. Once again I'm in a dryslot but off to the east we have precip moving in off the ocean.

I have had some decent bands most of the morning since 7 AM up here. I am located near Stoney Creek. As shown on radar we have had some higher returns then south towards you.

Just getting cursed here on the Mason-Dixon Line. That yellow blob is insane. In on the edge of it and it is just puking snow here. I have 7 driveway markers drilled into the ground up and down the lane. The snow is just under the 2 foot mark on each, around 22 inches on the ground unofficially. Just total destruction right now with the heaviest rates of the storm here so far.

I went out at 10 AM and traveled around the neighborhood to try and find the most reliable spot for measuring.  Very tough because the snow looks like a frozen snapshot of the sea surface in a storm.  I measured many times and got a range of 16 - 18 inches.  Snow was really ripping while I was out.  Just came in and measured 18 - 20.  So that was 2" in just under an hour.

 

I see a report on NBC4 of 30" in Winchester.  That seems dubious.

 

I dont know man. I might not have 30 but 27 or 28 wouldnt shock me. I'll measure in 45 minutes.

Nothing wrong in particular...

Just, it's white, blue (moderate) and red (intense). Looks like a clown map. If this is their normal winter map, I had no clue.

Just flipped the channel and saw it, and yeah, I think that's their normal winter map. Looks like a f***ing echocardiogram.

I'm in that band that stretches from 83 at the PA line SW down to Leesburg.  It's as heavy as anything from the pre-dawn hours but the flake size is much bigger.
