Just moved from Southeast Elkridge to pretty much the far northwest part of Ellicott City, so hoping that's a good omen for this upcoming winter and many to come.

Radar is underwhelming. Rain still hasn't even gotten here yet.

What even happened? I've been swamped with life lately but literally every time I checked radar seemingly for the past few weeks, it's been down. Just seemed like an insanely long time without radar.

About freaking time.

Call me crazy, but I think it's too soon to be making declarations like that. 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 wasn't that long ago. 2015-2016 was a crappy winter but we still managed an epic storm. I'm more frustrated than anyone at the lack of snow, but sometimes we go through these stretches around here. It was just hard to remember brutal stretches like this because we were on such a heater there for awhile. Maybe climate change is really impacting our winters, but I think it's too soon to say our last several winters have been poor because of it.

Doesn't look anywhere near as heavy or as stationary as the earlier stuff.

Looks like a bust around these parts. That area of extremely heavy rain just rained itself out. Looks like some good rain forming in Southern MD but heading well east of here.

Practicing for January!

Seems like it is working its way up here but seems to be losing intensity as it does.

It does, but it also doesn't seem to be advancing much north. Seem like it is hitting a wall right now.

Looks like everything is sliding off just to the northeast of us.

Looks like we dodged a bullet here. Nasty storm to my north and another to my south. Just a few flashes and rumbles and some moderate rain.

Nasty-looking bow heading into Clarksburg area.

That thing owes me a lot of snow.

Radar and HRRR are both very meh the rest of the night.

NAM now seems focused on tonight only. Really nothing tomorrow but a few early showers.

Line blowing up and sinking south.

Line looks like it isn't moving south very much.

Ha, was just coming here to post that. It's probably wrong, but the NAM looks good for late tonight and tomorrow for being quite active.

Nothing does. Radar, models....

Disappointing here given how crazy the radar looked, but I guess there had to be some losers. Some people really cashed in. Seemed like parts of Anne Arundel and especially PG got hammered.

Yeah still raining here now but lightening up and wind has stopped. Also getting a lot brighter out.

Getting some good gusts here right now with some downpours. Just getting barely clipped by this cell after just being missed by a couple earlier.

Looks like some kind of little outflow boundary just raced went of Columbia.

Looks like an "east of 295" threat so far. Can hear thunder rumbling in the distance. Will be interesting to see how this evolves. Pretty big storms blowing up to the southeast and northeast.
