We absolutely had some excellent analysis the past few days led by @Bob ChiII  @MillvilleWx @Beachinand others. 

Glad we didn’t collectively throw in the towel per usual. I knew we had a decent shot when models had the jackpot in VA about 3.5 days out... best place to be in this setup a few days out is North of the progged bullseye. Planned out just fine! 

Anyway... should be closing in on 4 in the next little while per the deck ruler. Snow is piling up under this band 

This has been a fun storm to follow and watch unfold. Glad many are waking up to some pretty good scenery and higher than forecast totals. I'm not going to do a grade on my forecast until everything shuts off. Upper level piece later on should make for some fluffy snow and high ratios as it pulls through. Models are back and forth on where the best axis of snow will setup, but my guess is somewhere near I-95, then pulling east. I think a low key spot to enjoy the upper level fun will be interior eastern shore. Good times though and multiple areas should get 8+ out this system. That was not even on most people's expectations 36 hours ago. Southern stream systems are fun. Should be a nice start to what will be a very active 8 weeks incoming. Enjoy y'all

Things are really quiet in Baltimore City. It's hard to tell from inside, but it looks like 2-3 inches on the ground. I'm really hoping the back side of this storm gets going and makes it up here soon.

You downtown? It’s four up here in Hopkins area. We should see more today.
