Staying in CP for the night since I have work early in the AM tomorrow. This area might actually be the worst snow place in the entire region. Rt50 on south is the area you want to be in. Didn’t agree at all with the northern extent of that Meso SPC issued. Oh well. Y’all enjoy. I’ll accept whatever flakes I get here at the University area.

100%. Should have been up to Baltimore at the very most. No business being up near the M/D line. 

In all likelihood DC will be the northernmost jack zone for this. Modeling is pretty much in consensus at this point.

Yeah I was surprised to see myself inside the meso being in eastern loudoun. What do you think they saw in order to extend that up here and further north?

They didn’t see anything imo. It’s a terrible forecast and someone who issued probably doesn’t understand this area. I love the people at SPC and they do an amazing job, but every now and then they make me scratch my head. Today is one of those times.

Probably accounting for the classic Loudoun to Howard death band that always sets up somehow.

I know you’re just messin, but if they know that, then kudos to that person lol 

Highly doubt anyone there is even from this area of the country. Its majority people from the south and plains. The severe weenies from birth.

serious question…it started to snow pretty good for 15 mins then it sunk south and is just snizzle again. Looking at radar I don’t see anything pushing north at all to my west and the band here is sinking south. So was that it?  Is there a chance that 15 min of snow was the whole deal up here?  
 

BTW ya I know this isn’t supposed to be big up here but they are still predicting 2-3” not 2-3 mm.

   Areas affected...parts of the Mid-Atlantic

   Concerning...Heavy snow 

   Valid 111949Z - 112345Z

   SUMMARY...A band of heavy snow developing across the Mid-Atlantic
   region will be capable of moderate to heavy snowfall rates upwards
   of 1-2 inches per hour. Similar bands and snowfall rates will be
   possible through early evening.

   DISCUSSION...Regional radar imagery shows an organized
   precipitation/snow band developing from west-central VA into the
   Chesapeake Bay area. Recent snowfall reports from central VA and
   surface observations reporting visibility reductions between 0.25 to
   0.5 mile suggest moderate to heavy snowfall rates are ongoing. This
   band is largely being driven by a combination of strong warm-air
   advection and frontogenesis within the 925-700 mb layer and may
   persist for another hour or two given the strength of forcing for
   ascent. Additional banding is possible heading into the late
   afternoon hours as a weak mid-level impulse - and the primary
   precipitation shield - migrates into the region and to the
   north/northeast into northern MD and DE. Recent guidance suggests
   heavy snow potential will likely peak across the Chesapeake Bay area
   during the 21-00 UTC period. Although surface temperatures across
   this region remain near/above freezing, dewpoints in the 20s suggest
   that temperatures will likely fall to below freezing due to
   low-level evaporative cooling associated with the onset of
   precipitation, which should support heavier snowfall rates later
   this afternoon.

Ok, so you think that Meso was good for DC.  Definitely homering it right now.

Was out in the snow for an hour taking pictures, rates have improved dramatically in the last 15 minutes which lines up with the yellows nudging closer to Reston. Shaded driveways are beginning to cave as well, somewhere around .25 for snow on the deck.
