Yup what else is new lol. I still can’t beat the snow curse since 2016. 

could have easily been further south and over us. but it's snowing, and it looks really pretty! happy for everyone.

Went out around 4:30 with the dog for about an hour or so. Was absolutely gorgeous. About 3" at that time. Wouldn't be surprised if we're above 6" now. 

The models had this correct 48 hours out before the last norther shift. This was a southern MD/VA special. But we hit the low end of our range, and with more light stuff to come later on. I'm not complaining.

I finally got outside to measure. I have a modest amount of drifting so had to walk to where I was both out of the wind and out of drifted snow. Measured 6" there. Rest of the area measured 0 to 8" depending on drifting. My deck is bare in places from the light wind removing the snow.

I am only at 4 1/2 inches, but I am mostly seeing freezing drizzle w/snowflakes mixed in.  No complaints from me as it is still a decent storm and hopefully we will see a burst later today.

For those in Maryland, especially north of US 50, watch SW OH and extreme northern KY. That seems to be out shot at the higher ratio fluff snow later today. 

Problem today imo was the DGZ was so high so you couldn't get proper lift in there, and in the DGZ the winds were raging so most of ur flakes were needles and it lowered ratios, thats why although it was a dry snow wasn't accumulating that well until the end of the frontend(4-8a) when you got much better flake production

the backside piece should be much better - DGZ is lower to where you can get proper lift within it, moving away from WAA precip so no warm nose worries, and the winds in the DGZ calm down a lot. you won't get the very heavy rates we saw earlier today but it will be nicer snow and have more overpreformer potential imo, probably why ur seeing NWS go more bullish w/ the rest of the storm

Around 5.25 here in Shaw - absolutely gorgeous morning out and still coming down pretty good. I'd say it was a 70/30 split between Snow and Sleet at points during the previous heavy band. You can see the faint mixing shadows on CC radar.
