Correlation coefficient radar shows the sleet line has gotten north of Richmond, hopefully it stays south of most of us . 

You’ll be alright in Bowie, sir. Dc proper and southern MD should be okay. South of 66 could run into problem if this storm truly has trended 25+ miles north. Models showed the potential of a warm layer intrusion in the SE quadrant of the storm for days. Think many assumed it would be all snow but more coastal development can easily rush warm air on the SE flank as cold air wraps around the NW.

Mod snow ready to spread throughout the area.  The goods are starting.  

Yea, radar downstream all the way to KY looks great. On lwx radar you can see the shadow cone aiming towards CHO has filled in. That only means 1 thing.... mod snow is rolling in

I hope the whole coast gets destroyed for 8 straight weeks and we ALL talk about this winter and how great it was.

2015 was actually pretty good here from Valentines day into late March. I got at least  30" during that stretch and my normal annual is around 22-24". 2013-14 was better but back to back good years. 

Very true. The whole metro coast really did get in on a lot of good action. Really stood out here with the over 100” in the second half for KBOS. Something I’ll never see again most likely

HRRR and NAM have been hinting at a CCB deformation band forming over Baltimore metro northern md And southern PA for a few consecutive runs now. NAM has done well so far. This too could happen with proper coastal influence.

Yeah I think I will be alright this time. Models don’t show a flip for me but it’s closer than I thought.

Don't bet on it. You will see it again in your lifetime, likely will be bested several times. The weather is changing. Unusual snow events will increase, both in intensity and in frequency.

I’m facing the math that it’s likely to snow for another 16 hours at 0.3 to 0.7”ph so I will let you do the math.

Thats just wow, like Unbelievable , when you consider that places like Dale City are probably already in excess of 3 inches otg already. Just look at whats inbound. https://radar.weather.gov/Conus/full_loop.php

Its like You gotta be kiddin me 16 times half an inch an hour and some hours could easily be an inch an hour, on top of what many places in N VA/MD/DC already have otg?

Whomever gets in on the Conditional Symmetric Instability banding will find out firsthand what a crush job truly is.

There’s already reports of 2-3” all over central Maryland as well. Like I suspected, Montgomery county to Howard county would benefit from a solid location (south enough for QPF- North enough for great snow crystal growth) 

The heavy stuff is knocking on our doorstep again! If NAM is to be believed, we are in for another 5-8” or so
