They always jack compared to us around the DC beltway. However, we have won in a few rare instances like Jan 2019 I think.

That ended up being a great event where I lived. I remember hiking through Cabin John and it was just absolutely ripping outside when the ull moved through.

We are ready to rock here!  Waited to the last minute to mount the plow and add air to the tires so I didn't jinx the storm.

My niece in Huntingtown has been begging for snow for weeks so I hope Calvert gets it good!  Parents in Owings got a wild thundersnow in that squall yesterday

Well y’all, it’s finally here. We’ve been tracking this thing down for over 10 days and it all comes down to this. A small shoutout to NWP for being able to pick up on a threat this far out with n/s energy playing a role in it all. 
 

Currently 32/9 at my place. If you’re in the lowlands of AA county, this one is for us. The 25th percentile on the NBM as of early this morning for DCA/Annapolis/Crofton/Bowie/ @usedtobe hoods are ~7” and I don’t see that waver. My forecast for Annapolis and my area is 7-12” w/ local to 14” 

DC area: 6-10” w/ local to 12” 

Baltimore: 5-9” w/ local to 10” 

WV Panhandle: 5-10” w/ local to 11”

NoVA north of EZF: 6-12”

EZF south: 3-6” w/ some sleet

Area between Frederick-Baltimore-Silver Spring-Poolesville: 6-10” w/ local to 12”

Catoctins: 7-12” 

Rt15 corridor down to I-66 VA: 6-12”

West of Rt15 in MD: 5-10”

Western MD: 8-14” 

North of I-70 between Frederick and Baltimore: 5-8” w/ local to 10” (Trickiest area due to confluence signature to the north) 

Far Southern PA: 3-7” w/ local to 8” near the M/D plausible. Less further north you go. 
 

Eastern Shore North of Rt50 in MD ( @CAPE country): 5-9” w/ local to 10” 

Eastern Shore along and South of Rt50 until south of St Mary’s Co latitude: 4-8” w/ local to 10”

Delaware North of Dover: 4-8” w/ local to 10” 

Delaware South of Dover: 5-10” w/ local to 12” 

Jackpot Zone between MD32 down to Calvert County and over to Sussex Co DE: Storm max of 14” 

Tried my best on these and hopefully I’m in the ballpark. Woke up from my night shift slumber not long ago and ready to stay up the next 20-24 hrs. I will be working telework tonight and tomorrow night for safety reasons. Winter is here, and judging by the model guidance…it ain’t going anywhere anytime soon. Enjoy everyone!! :sled:

Nice!  I can't remember the last time we had a snow event down here that didn't start as rain/slush (maybe the 2009 storm?) so it's gonna be awesome to have some actual powder with a frozen ground.  Makes shoveling a lot easier .

Backyard pools aren't really big enough to have a large impact on humidity / dew points unless your a few feet from it. Anything more than 15ft horizontally and 4 ft vertically won't notice.

Regarding Dew Point. The humidity sensor (and therefore dew point) is the first instrument to go bad on a home weather station. The hygrometer we use on mesonet stations and at ASOS sites need frequent calibration.

Mine was def a few feet from it.  But I just moved it and now it’s 20ft away as opposed to 8ft. Gonna see if there’s a difference

We are gonna do well. Very well I think.

i'll be more disappointed if we don't see the super-heavy snow rates than not getting a certain amount . i like to watch snow fall, but I have little use for it once it's fallen, lol. and i'm curious if those 3"/hr rates show up and if they have thundersnow with them.
