Yeah OPM needs to close 

I’m surprised they want to put people on the roads.  Most will not take off if not specifically told to at least in my office.

Pretty sure it’s you

The back edge is already on radar. Lord have mercy

Stfu Ji hahaha. We get upgraded to warnings and you’re already whining

[jayyy]

DC and areas just north of 66 getting the goods for sure.

[RockabilyJunior]

Snowing in Baltimore. Roads caved immediately. I have a good feeling about this one ...

[Snowman.]

It's snowing pretty darn hard here. Neighborhood roads have caved and everything is covered

We're a snow town now, haven't you heard?

[AtlanticWx]

Inch+ rates in the last hour here because we've already made it to an inch. Dumping snow outside too rn

[EB89]

Drive from Frederick to DCA was fun. Roads caved quickly. Hoping flight stays on time.

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. 

if you're worried maybe I should be worried, but it's really just the HRRR that keeps the banding south of us.  I haven't seen anything else look troubling for us.

Flakes ripping in Olney.

I’m getting clocked here.  Just south of 66.  Very nice indeed.  

[Snowman.]

Yellow band down by Culpeper looks headed to DC in around 30-45 mins or so.

[adelphi_sky]

31° and snowing finally. Radar has some yellows coming my way on the other side of DC. 

[TSSN+]

Now moderate snow here. Driveway already white. 

[Lucketts]

25/25 with moderate snow falling. 

[TSSN+]

It’s smoking snow right now wow. Love it. 

[Solution Man]

 Snow globing 27F….1 inch already

[LeesburgWx]

WSW x2. Wow, what a thing to wake up to. Snowing outside again boyz

[Solution Man]

I am sure Western Prince William will flip to WSW

[RockabilyJunior]

What's the time frame exactly on snow. When do we expect the heaviest  (is  it now?) and when will it end. When Norlun band supposed to set up and when will we know if it looks like it is setting up where it is currently forecast to be?

[LeesburgWx]

I forgot what snow on snow looked like.  Crazy this storm is about to out perform the first one

[CatoctinRN]

Coming down in Westminster!

Not sure if weenie cast radar is right the dry slot is approaching from SW fast.  Unless it pivots.  Maybe I’m looking at the wrong radar.

think it'll pivot but mostly for northern areas so

[Ravens94]

HRRR drops 4-6 its trending higher too

It’ll fill in

Mod snow...eyeballing .5"+  25/22

Interesting that band from roughly HGR-DC is still there on the NAM/HRRR.

Curious what leads to the totals in and around Baltimore on the euro / NAMs. Is it from the Norlun feature later on?
