It should accelerate now which may eventually weaken it, but it's being pulled quickly into the circulation off the coast and will be advancing more like 50-75 mph from now on. It's going to be through DC and Baltimore before 0230 at the rate it is going, and beyond all southeast parts of this forum before 0330 except far southeast VA, may have lost a lot of its identity by then with just remnant flurries.

squall line came through silently—last time there were house-shaking gusts and phones going off. visibility dropped to 1/4-1/2 mile vis, so moderately heavy snow. everything is white again for now.

Not sure how long we will be in this band/squall going thru but she's a doing it right now. This camera about 3 miles from the house.

WB 0Z AI EPS. Not a lot of support for its steady global AI.

Cumberland dropped 6 degrees the past hour and had a 41 mph gust. Moderate snow here. Quick quarter-inch of accumulation.

An OP run changes 7-10 days out and that’s your bar? LOL…

Radar looks absolutely nasty out west, I’m tempted to set an alarm. When might it start?

Hate to say this but..it's in the Carlolina's now

any obs from Frederick?

The GFS signaled the trend with the 18z run when QP dropped significantly over Virginia. After 18z, I was expecting 00z to be feast or famine. Famine rules the roost.

Looks like it's making it over the mountains fairly easily.

How’d you generate these? Very cool. Can you share the site?

People shouldn’t be expecting that now either.

How did you find those cool snow graphs for Danville? Never seen those. Can you share the site? Thanks.

I imagine back in those days they weren’t really expecting any kind of accurate details 7+ days in advance.

1/2” down and radar looks good. I think we clear an inch here

Conditions can deteriorate rapidly in winter weather situations. Be prepared for snow or ice covered roads. Slow down and allow extra time when traveling.

Looking good in Edgewater! Must have skipped right over DC

Was wondering if DIX being down is affecting the solutions. Sounds like it could be.

Front is about to move through here. Light snow has increased in intensity and wind is stirring. Just had a gust to 23. Midnight high was 31 degrees.

How far is that squall gonna go? Looks like it’s chugging along on radar.

Awesome. Thanks for sharing. Reminds me of the blizzard of 78 in Ohio. We had similar conditions for 2 days. Could not see the house next door at times.
