Yup. Elevation folks scored a major victory with this one.

IIRC, that's the former COOP program manager for the entire NWS. They're near 880 ft elevation.

As @wxmeddler often says, measuring snow depth is tricky. New York mesonet has a great Read Me file on the trials and tribulations of this process: https://www.nysmesonet.org/documents/NYSM_Readme_Snow.pdf

You matched the Parkton mesonet site snow depth perfectly!

Do I spy a Howard County deathband coming for @WxUSAF?

LFG

Oh man this band looks stationary for a bit. Time to pile up!

Temp down to 34°. Snow accumulating on everything now. So wonderful.

Looks like the lead band is getting juiced up in the last few frames of the radar.

Rates have picked up in Reisterstown. Accumulating on the deck, cars, and non paved surfaces.

Based off the latest SPC meso analysis, the best cold air advection at 925/850 mb appears to be cresting the I68/I-70 interchange in western MD. Might wave to wait for that to get a bit closer before we see temps really fall off. Seems like everything is on track.

Happened to me. Bumped up to 38 degrees, now down to 36. Seems like there might be some weird warm layer close to the surface? Westminster and Parkton mesonet sites dipped below 32° so it can't be too far off.

SN- Reisterstown. Big fluffy flakes!
