Wasn’t there a 8-10” area wide storm a few years ago? Did you get snow holed on it?

In our area of central MD we got a good 8-10 inch storm in January 2019, which is my last significant snow before this (missed 2022).  North Balti's area must have missed out on that too.  Hope they really get nailed this time

Lwx now 5-8” in Westminster mmm 

My guess is we rip well overnight, then snow a good portion of tomorrow while places south get not much tomorrow. Cause we have a long way to go to get 5 otherwise lol

Now 4"+ here NW of Vienna.  Went for a Jebwalk and it turned to sleet for about 15 mins then back to the heaviest rates of sn so far - until a few mins ago when it got even heavier.  Approaching sn+ at times.  Fatties mixing in now.  Awesome outside.   Surface streets are largely unplowed around here.

Absolutely amazing Jebwak out tonight. Wife and I were out for about 30 minutes just enjoying the amazing scenery and taking a few pictures. 
 

Measured 2.4” awhile back and it’s coming down at a moderate clip (0.5-0.75”/hr). We’re going over 4” for sure in these parts and 5” is very well in play. Amazing little storm. It feels so good to be back :wub:

Northern tier will be delayed but not denied. Better lift overnight and then some throwback from the coastal to prolong the event. 5-8” for my area over to PSU over to you per LWX

Just a warning on Kuchera, it's not going to do well with the incoming dry slot. This sugar powder stuff is quite good at creating 9:1 to 11:1 SLR's. 

Seeing a lot of malformed plates and needles outside. Very inefficient snowmaking going on upstairs.

4” was my high end expectations going into this, any more is a bonus.

I think that’s when Columbia had a foot. We missed it in Northern Balt co. 3-5 inches here as I recall
