I haven’t been accurately measuring because I’ve been out with my kids but I’m guessing 4+ right on the dc/takoma border and piling up quick with this high ratio stuff. Maybe gonna make a run at 6.

They'll upgrade as soon as the back edge is about to come through. So around like 4pm or so 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osfan24 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Going to need some rate increases to see anyone get to the 8 inch mark. I actually thought double digits might be possible for some isolated areas this morning. I wonder when the inverted trough sets up and if we get a pivot later this afternoon.

I've been doing a shoddy job and am somewhere over 3" and that's all I can really say. No idea honestly.

Wetbulbs88 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 4 minutes ago, BryanInMd said: It's actually not backbuilding as much as feeding from the other side of the Apps. Pretty sure that radar jump isn't real. Radar always has trouble picking up the higher elevations when there's strong orthographic lift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSG Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 WOW sudden burst of dendrites all the way down here in Cville. Was not expecting the back end to make it this far south at all! That has to be a good sign for you all near the metros. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder when the inverted trough sets up and if we get a pivot later this afternoon. in Downtown Baltimore, it's been snowing at a good rate but I've only added a half inch or so to the snowpack since 9 a.m. It's a fairly wet snow now, and its compacting at a good rate. Hoping the snow last a few more hours and it starts accumulating better later this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDweatherman Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Enjoying moderate snow again back here north of Emmittsburg near Ski Liberty. Just about 4" total (Season to date up to 15") 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayyy Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Just home from work. 2.5" so far despite a nearly 3 hour lull this morning after that initial heavy band. Steady light to moderate snow now. Temp is 29.Glad to see you getting in on the action my friend. Keep us posted! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
