Cobalt Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Just now, North Balti Zen said: The rates. The all day snow not amounting to much. The way the system unfolded. Similar event. Only difference is places just to the East of us got much more. Almost 2 or 3 times as this event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RVAman Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 This may be crazy talk but is it possible the snow to the west of WV almost in southwest VA clips the end of this low off the coast and produces more moisture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshfsu123 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Rates picking up again... SN with larger flakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris78 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Light snow and 29 degrees in Smithsburg MD. Light dusting on all non paved surfaces. Just wet roads. Best rates of the day but that's not saying much....lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighStakes Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Heavy snow . At least 3 inches. 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErinInTheSky Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 I think we stand a good chance at cracking 3" here in Gaithersburg. Especially with these rates. Interestingly enough the streets and sidewalks have not caved at all, but it is definitely building up on non-paved surfaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Barometer is flashing at me....meaning it is dropping fast. Hope that means more bands for Parrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVAman Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Holy hell, in Richmond it is dropped HUGE flakes and FAST. Hardest snow of the storm here right now. Hope you guys in DC get this soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Just got back from a KILLER walk with the dog. I know every inch of every trail at the nature center but something about doing it in the snow makes the place really special. I'm close to 2" now. Not sure how much I'll end up with but 2.5" seems like a good guess right now. This is my illegal skating pond tucked back in the woods away from everybody. It's the perfect size and the deepest is only 5-6'. If you skate the perimeter the worst case is 2-3' deep so you would have to try hard to kill yourself. Hopefully it gets 3" thick in Dec. Fresh tracks on Tall Pine Trail Upper Meadow has nice coverage You can't get away with skating this pond but I always love this view of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErinInTheSky Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Beautiful pictures @Bob Chill. I think we have a great chance to break 3, radar looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all came out a little blurry but captured the mood for sure. Flakes kept hitting the lens and making it wet. Which I'd much prefer to no flakes falling. lol I didn't see a single person back there. It made my day for sure. Being a snow weenie is weird but harmless. haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, Laytonsville to Rockville to Travilah north and west will probably hit 3" easy. Damascus will probably jackpot at 4". Snow ticked up over the past half hour here in Reisterstown. Closing in on 2.5". Sidewalks just gave up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been under a stationery band since 11am more or less. Rates haven't been insane or nothing the whole time but it is getting heavy again now.

That's a beautiful band blossoming on radar back towards Frederick City. Someone's gonna hit 4" under that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eskimo Joe Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Looks like HGR is reporting snow again...some echoes returning again west of I-81. Should ensure we at least precipitate through sunset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next 2-3 hours look pretty good but the pulses are impossible to predict. AKQ radar looks the best it's looked all day. Things are getting organized for the last hurrah. If I break 3" I'll be thrilled. 1" was my win/lose bar and 3" was next level. Just need a band to park for an hour and I should get there...

Clarksburg and a co-worker in Damascus are reporting M3.0" so you should be set. Classic Montgomery County setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
