Expand Harford county is really on the border of getting anything heavy from the coastal. This storm is so frustrating for this area because a 5 mile difference can make or break it. So the truthful answer to "what are we going to get?" the answer is, no one actually knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will probably see periods of heavier snow a little later. But will it be enough to overcome the warmer road temps from the solar radiation is the hard question. At this point you could probably flip a coin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I think Harford county is in a good spot though hard to say how much of that will stick. And yea it should pick up as the morning goes on, for the sweet spot locations. Seems like the coastal is a bit too far north for anything exciting here in dc but who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cae Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 2.9" on the ground, so picked up about another 1.4" after I went to bed last night. It's a dense snow. It's still snowing, so we might hit 3 if the melting / compaction doesn't take over. It has been a while since I've seen snow high enough to completely cover the grass. Looks great. 2 hour delay for BCPS. Kids thoroughly confused about how they make these decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

showmethesnow Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Welp, that was fun. Looks as if everything is on the move NEward now. Hope Baltimore county was able to score a little something this morning. Now here's hoping we can get a little loving as the upper energy swings through a little later today.

Expand yeah my kid is bummed to have to go to school. the county has closed for less. so weird call on their part. but glad you cashed in overnight! i'm staying home either way, so will have a house to myself, can work in my pjs and watch whatever snow does fall.

Fozz Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Still getting steady light snow but I'm not sure if it's accumulating.

MillvilleWx Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Judging by meso and short range models, debating whether to chase or not. Looks like SE PA to Jersey the prime spot with Northern Harford and Cecil still in the game for some decent accumulation later, but I only want to chase big game snow. I don’t feel like paying $15 in tolls to chase. Plus I got prior engagement north of Baltimore tonight at 7. Oh well. Last second trends suck when they’re negative. Still like 4-8 for Northern Harford and Cecil counties for storm total. Love the snow pics@Interstate. Looks like my old home area got about 2” last night. .

Expand True, but some of the people that are reporting 3 inches aren't really that far off when you take into account ratios. Unlikely any of us other than maybe extreme Northeast MD get in on the CCB, which is what a lot of the storm was supposed to be for those with the big totals, but some managed to do ok if you weren't counting on anything close to 10:1 ratios.
