530am measurement

4.4" 25.7/25.4

A little under an inch per hour that last go around. Makes sense on radar as we lifted outside the better bands we had earlier. It's coming back with a vengeance now and flake size is improving as I type. Radar to the southwest and west-southwest look fantastic. Should be able to hit 6" before sunrise at this rate and I didn't record a single flake until 1:20am, so 4 hrs and change of almost 4.5". Not bad!

When I nodded off you were wandering around in a bathrobe trying to find an unexpired hoagie at 3 am in 7-11.  Glad things worked out.  A nap and some snow solves most problems. 

That two hour nap does wonders to your morale.

Where is your location again?

The initial forcing mostly 850-700 is really pounding just north of the mix line. I think between that and this system sort of being squashed east, we aren’t seeing  the typical mid level goodies well to the north that we typically see. I’ll probably be a little too high with my thoughts there.
 

For the peeps well N of DC, I think you’ll slowly add up later this morning and aftn while it may slot in the metro areas before round 2 moves in. Seems like things going as planned so far.
