Kmlwx Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 32.4 now - snow lightened up a bit compared to a little while ago. It's been going diagonal with stronger winds as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87storms Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 1 minute ago, MDphotog said: I’m under the HGR one right now, snow definitely picked up. Nothing too crazy, but it is a very nice rate right now. The thing that stands out most to me is the lack of wind we have had compared to most others east of me. We have some wind occasionally, but very sporadic and not very intense. i believed in the snow, but definitely had doubts about the wind. wind driven snow (while it's snowing) is not our strength. maybe that changes once the upper level energy approaches.

Chris78 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Daughter at home in Smithsburg is reporting just under 4" Here in Thurmont looks like less. Maybe 2" just by eyeballing it. Might end up our biggest snow of the season in Smithsburg if we can keep this up for another 3 or 4 hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demeter Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Large flakes in Spotsy. Lost power 20 min ago But I’ll swap electric for snow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weather Will Posted March 12, 2022 Author Share Posted March 12, 2022 Very gusty winds, heavy snow, blowing snow looks like the heaviest band of this storm moving through now. Spot on forecast by NWS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlet Pimpernel Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Rain changed to sleet then snow around 8AM here in Chevy Chase/Bethesda. Coming down at a decent clip, sometimes with larger flakes. About 0.5" now, I'd estimate, covering the grass and cars. Some roads and walkways are covered a bit too. No real wind yet, though there was a burst of wind very early morning (around 5AM-ish). Eyballing the wind like @Bob Chill, I'd estimate 5-10 MPH. Went out to the Audubon nature center to get some photos, will try to upload some later. It was so peaceful there with snow falling, nobody else was around.

Scraff Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Exactly what @Bob Chillsaid. Make shit up. Starting snowing at 8:15 nicely. My deck snow piled up quick. Was kinda shocked. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
