Holy crap. So you think Northern Baltimore City gets 2”?. That probably means i get 1.5” tops. 

Sorry I’m still hung over. The range is 2-5” for the Baltimore area. Say inside the beltway. More south less north. But the difference might not be 2-5. If the 5 is right for the south maybe 3-4 north. If the south gets 4 the north side might be 2-3. This is way too specific but if you want a range for like Towson maybe 2-4”

Same. I've been out on this one since yesterday. I'm big dog chasing now--because obviously these kind of waves just don't do it even in Baltimore right now.
I hope the rest of you enjoy your snow!

Most models have you at 4-6”. 3-4” seems like a reasonable bar

GFS looking pretty decent right now..precip arriving...timing looks the same...it's gonna be stubborn and have that heavy stripe again in the south

Hmm the FV3 looked awful for MD and I wrote off the GFS since it usually is pretty close.

Jog norther with the heavy precip and it’s really heavy in some spots… it’s gonna be so wrong for whoever it says gets 20”

Thing is even the runs lately that move that fgen death band north don’t help north of 70 at all it just tightens the gradient. Models seem to be locked in that the dry air wins lie up here.

FV3 confirms everything that I’ve been wary about.

And with poor snow growth on the fringes (GFS has low ratios for Kuchera), I don’t even think 2” is a guarantee north of the Baltimore beltway.

I'm not expecting much up at the m/d line. I'd be shocked if I make it to 2".

Gfs adamant on double digit totals south of dc close to RIC but the wakefield wfo isn’t having any of it.

GFS just won't let it go lol. Well, maybe further east it has pulled slightly north and why Wakefield is hesitant. 

If it holds??

       The snow depth product is notably less than 1/2 of those amounts.    That product isn't the gospel by any means, but when the discrepancy between the snowfall and snow depth maps is that large, that tells me that the model really isn't producing the big snow totals suggested by those maps.
