As WAR expands, do our snow chances increase? First wave may produce a middling event-solid advisory and possible low end warning for MLK Weekend

It’s been about 20 minutes of steady snow now. Heavy coating. Good snow growth, hope that lasts.

31.5° -SN

crzy how fast it went from 37 to 31 in like 15 minutes

[Cold Miser]

Cold rain.  Still sticking with my 2 or 3-4, or less snow.

 

[tavwtby]

goods are just to my west, snow growth is not good, need to rip with good growth for a bit or we'll struggle to hit 3/4"...

Glad to see you back. I don’t know man, every event has underperformed the last 3 years and we are starting 13 degrees above freezing. 
 

with guidance looking less impressive each run, tough to feel optimistic 

If it makes you feel any better the temps dropped from 46 to 41 as soon as it started raining moderately here. I don’t think it will take much to get temps down to freezing after 5 pm if precip picks up. 3-6 in the coastal playin is still likely IMO…

Snow rates getting close to moderate here now. We have some decent bands moving up towards us!

you are 30 minutes south of me so you will get it first

[Spanks45]

33.4⁰, moderate snow with a decent coating....

[UnitedWx]

Starting to accumulate on all surfaces now

[8611Blizz]

Hoping we get some accumulating here by 8 at the latest if we're going to hit 6".

[CoastalWx]

Hrrr is mostly an advisory deal outside of any fluff bands. 

[moneypitmike]

Down to 37.  Snow's modeled to start here at about 7:00.  Hopefully I can dip below freezing by then.

That's been the case for the last 12 hours.

 

Edit:   I've been focused on MBY.  

[Snowcrazed71]

I will say this, looking at the radar down to our Southwest, it really looks like it's starting to explode. There's a lot of precipitation coming in from Pennsylvania, Maryland, and there's also a lot developing off the coast converging with that precipitation. Gives hope to getting at least 3 to 6 in here.

I don’t believe any of these reports of accumulation. we were blessed with an earlier forecast of warm ground keeping snow from accumulating

It looked like your area was a bullseye? Like 6"

It’s here, moderate snow, and wind picking up.

I don’t see myself getting 6. I might be lucky to get 4.

Ok. Just going by what I thought was on HRRR

[CoastalWx]

There’s the band I mentioned earlier from NJ to Dendrite. Hippy, looks good there. 

[DavisStraight]

Temp just dropped 3 degrees so snow should pick up and start sticking soon.

[Sn0waddict]

SW CT snowhole continues. Ground completely wet. Starting to regret canceling a dinner plan over this.

[BombsAway1288]

Down to 39 here. Thinking we don’t get down to and below 32 until 8ish, then we’ll see how much is left

I wouldn't have cancelled over 3-6 inches either.

[Bryan63]

Temp is down to 39. A win is a win 

[HIPPYVALLEY]

It may not last but beautiful snow growth right now, dendrites just stacking. Not used to seeing that in the valley.

 

 

[8611Blizz]

Very light precip, 41.

BOX holding the line…
