I’ve lost half a degree in like 15 min and hope to be sub 32 by 3pm. That will help fight that dastardly sun from earlier

35.4 to 32.9 in 30 minutes....sun needs to go down faster!

Flurries downtown baltimore looking out my window 20 floors up. No idea what it is like in Monkton. 

Flurries just started here, and someone is dropping snow mPINGS on 83 so it may be snowing at your house

[Roger Smith]

CAD has excellent resistance to 12z and 850-700 frontogenesis looks good for a gradual northward drift of heavy snow axis, it briefly reaches as far north as near DCA-10sBWI before drifting back south as precip rates drop.

10-12" snow potential in a narrow stripe 10-30 s of DCA-BWI, 7-10" for DCA-10sBWI, 4-7" IAD-10nBWI, 2-5" s PA to cNJ.

Dandruff size flakes now

If we start running in place it will make the earth rotate faster and we can speed up sunset

32.0.  Lost very little precip cooling us down and now we are off and running.

[scope1]

Steady snow for the past hour. Deck has a coating and grass is starting to whiten.

There is no way it’s snowing at his house. North Balt is the EastCoastNPZ of the N MD crew. He probably has sunshine right now

LWX playing catch-up is the best....see Jan 25, 2000, Jan 30 2010, January 3, 2021!

[HighStakes]

Snow has begun! 31/21

[weatherkyle]

This reminds me a little of 2/25/03.  I need to look back at that one.  I got 5.5” I believe. All the major damage was after dark 

[colonelaureliano1]

Nothing yet at BWI but it’s also 38 degrees so that’s ok for now.

lol it may not be. No snowing in Hunt Valley. Coworker on my meeting said nothing was falling 

[DDweatherman]

I like what I see for DC in this, have been mostly bullish to this point, thinking 5-8”

All gravy until 4pm. It's looked darn impressive outside under pretty light greens. Yellows soon.

Light lava is currently falling

[87storms]

Automobile hoods, lawns, and patio chairs are caving to the current flizzard in Frederick, MD.

[Terpeast]

grass beginning to cave

[clskinsfan]

Everything has caved except the roads and sidewalks. May need to wait until dark for those to give up. Steady light snow. Beautiful out. 

[Fozz]

Light snow getting started.

More on track.  I'm still thinking 5", with 6-7" being a good "reach" amount.

[Ka60]

Clarksburg, MD 14:35     -SNOW, ground is caving already.  Pleasantly surprised!
