They also upped their totals!
lol ninja’d

Glad I decided to stay at my brother’s house tonight. I got off work late in Columbia and was scheduled to turn around and be there at 630am, so I decided to stay in Ellicott City to save myself 90 mins of driving to and from union bridge. May have been a good move snow wise with these last min developments.

Hmmmm. Getting a little concerned about the valley here in Frederick. Might see the heaviest snow go south and east of here. We shall see later. Still looks like 2-4” is possible for me, but heavier totals might just miss here.  Hopefully it plays out like the NAM, but I never want to put faith in that model when other hi-res are starting to get that look I’m mentioning.

Certainly. Even the short commute from EC to Columbia would suck. Awaiting the text from my boss telling me not to come in today since many of my coworkers commute pretty far.

Towson:  Under heavier returns now, but mostly virga with a few very tiny flakes starting to fall

Suspect 6z gfs will come in with 4-6 in results as well since the NWS hoisted the Warning.

Within a couple of minutes it has turned into a steady light snow...almost moderate snow!  Bang!

… kinda speechless. It’s the NAMs but hard to ignore 1) this close to the event and 2) when the Euro and HRRR agree (albeit not as expensive with that purple area) It’s just about game time, so let’s see what happens.

Didn’t I tell you earlier today? Dc/Balt would beat Philly. Enjoy it! Someone in MD will get 6+
