I’m sure you will do much better the remainder of the day than I will. Most recent runs of the NAM and HRRR really cut back on daytime accumulations for my yard. Gonna be tough to reach the low end of the 6-12” forecast here IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diatae Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 I haven't gone downstairs yet, but here's a couple deck pic updates. The first taken around midnight and the second just a few minutes before 0600. Good morning. It's a good day! 26/26 La Plata 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bncho Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 I find it CRAZY to think that the majority of the snow has yet to fall (in most areas). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baltimorewx Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Probably about 1.5-2” here in Dundalk MD. The cool thing is the heaviest snow should coincide with sunrise. Looks like I should get into some dark greens in about an hour. Should be fun from about 7-10am 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowmagnet Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 I noticed that the WSW changed to up to 16” possible in some areas. Definitely looks to be the biggest snowstorm since 2019! I measured 4” an hour ago in western Fairfax Co. near Herndon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebman Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 See you all in about 5 hours. Rack up that snow! I just had a microsleep and the damn tablet hit me hard in the face. Damn I need a nap, lull or no lull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I expect here (a struggle to get to the min). Going to sleep at midnight it was 10-20 with a potential max of 25 and a heavy snow meso discussion thrown in for posterity. I now have 2.5 with a few showers a long way off. I hope we are both pleasantly surprised with the second half. Good luck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mappy Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 14 minutes ago, North Balti Zen said: Started between 3 and 4 for my area of Monkton in northern Baltimore county (for those who don’t know the area - I am about 10 miles south of PA border and 12 miles or so west of Bel Air) - just measured 1 inch and grass is covered. It is beautiful out and currently light snow. of my two labs, the younger one just happily flopped over into it and rolled in the snow for several minutes. Cute as hell. Gonna take the two pups to the ncr trail to walk in whatever is falling before starting remote work. congrats to the Dc/annapolis and surrounds folk - the rates and all sound gorgeous. You all should definitely fully enjoy it! if we can avoid a lull and just snow all day, we may be able to hit 5". I think 6+ is gonna be hard to get unless a band sets up, and I'm not leaning towards that happening. I think the best will stay to our south. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arlwx12 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 My Mark 4 eyeballs estimate three and a half inches (presuming my neighbor's curbs are the same height as mine) on The Hill of Doom west of Crystal City, An hour ago, a four-wheeler actually made it UP (but the road was pretreated, and the vehicle made a running start). Not so sure that would work now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snjókoma Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 What's killing us a little bit from getting the big totals is snow growth is legitimately bad. I was banded in the yellows for 15 minutes and it was 1" an hour at most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmlwx Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 A while ago - somebody shared a good color table for snow events for GR. It might have been @Eskimo Joe but my memory isn't what it used to be. It was "tuned" for overall lighter returns I feel like. Would love to get that again as I lost it after upgrading computers and to GR2AE v3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bncho Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 If any mets are in here, can they explain why the snow growth is kinda bad? I'm eyeing another band to hit my area around 7:30. I need the snow growth to be better. I need some fatties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm eyeing another band to hit my area around 7:30. I need the snow growth to be better. I need some fatties. I wouldn’t say bad. This is typical for overrunning. We usually get the fatties with coastal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
