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

Yea, every model I've had time to look at so far this morning shows a 2-10pm window this afternoon for some resurgence of lift from the ULL for the majority of Central MD.  I'm all in on that part.  Daytime snow > nighttime snow.

Well the H7 stuff occurring where it would make sense..well north where models had little precip. Nice to see meteorology over modelogy. 

I did think some of that would sneak into nrn areas yesterday, but sort of in between forcing there. Good news is it should fill in a bit after lunch I think.

Not far from you. About the same. Kinda disappointed, tbh.

Went for a Jebwalk at 6:30 as the snow turned to sleet.

Pup still loved it.

Hoping for an over performing Part II.

Definitely underwhelmed. Maybe we get lucky later on. Anyway if I just see snow falling I’m happy. I also have a park in front of the house so I get to see a parade of dogs!
