I don’t know. I just can’t get a band and when I do, it lasts for 5 minutes. I’d love to know where this snow is that people say is coming down 2 inches an hour.

Just can’t get decent rates for any period of time. Back to very light snow.

Coming down well now. It’s actually a mix of snow and sleet and snow pellets. But all surfaces have caved quickly. Actually pretty impressed with how quickly the street caved.

Snowing lightly here.

I think we can still manage 2-3 inches or so if it comes through and pummels for a bit. But between temps and just duration, we have some things really working against us now.

Right. I was just looking at radar a little more loosely and you can almost see that line setting up where basically you have to be at least in extreme western Moco/Hoco and west of there to think you are going to get consistent snow for the next couple of hours at least. I think we are just a bit too far southeast. We will probably get an inch or two later when it swings through.

Up to moderate snow now. Flake size picking up. We’ve got a car-topper lol. (Things I didn’t think I’d be saying at 1:30 today)

Finally something going on. A steady light snow, but a bit disappointing because I am sitting under a yellow band.

Radar is just way too spotty. There does look to be some nice bands setting up, but they are very spotty.

Of course, cold air taking too long to help us today but going to be way too much of it for that Tuesday/Wednesday storm. Still holding out hope for the late week storm but Euro isn’t interested at all and even the overzealous CMC is wide right and has been many runs now. After that, who knows. Too far out to even really look at.

I hope you are right. Seems warmer than expected and it’s going to be harder to get accumulation and good ratio’s with temps 32-34 and snowing. Radar doesn’t look at that impressive to me yet, either, unless you are up toward PSU land.

A few flakes mixing in. Nervous to get going. This isn’t 12-24 hour storm. Can’t be wasting any qpf.

Reminds me of January 2000.

If Ji and Jebman ever met, I think the world would explode. Most optimistic poster ever and the most pessimistic ever.

Euro is annoying. Juice up, baby!

FWIW, just watched Bernie Rayno’s video. He is a Euro guy but he said thinks the GFS has the right idea for this storm. Thinks CMC is too far west and Euro too weak. He also mentioned that he thinks the midweek deal is a Virginia and south threat just due to the extreme cold air.

Could be noise but that looks like a small bump NW.

Just lock up the GFS already. I'm not that worried about the RGEM, but I do think the band of heaviest snow could still shift NW of 95 up into PSU land.

I wouldn't say really good. Snows a long time at very light rates, but at least it is figuring it out. I'm sure it will figure it out by Sunday.

I'd rather it just go out to sea than watch what happens on the CMC with NC getting three feet and us getting 6 inches or whatever it is. Hopefully, it continues to adjust northward but seems unlikely. It's likely overamped like it usually is and the GFS or Euro is likely correct.

Yeah, that map is complete trash. Why would they put something like that out? It's completely nonsensical and confusing to the public and hurts credibility.

LOL, now it looks less good of course.

Radar looks good for us. That blob by Frederick looks nice.

Yeah, I am very confident there will be a run soon where the NAM all the sudden has some juiced up wave.

Southern MD has probably done best so far in regards to climo, and really even though it hasn't been great since the 2016 blizzard, has done much better than the Baltimore area in comparison. I'm guessing I have somewhere around 10 inches on the season, which is probably right on pace for climo in my location, maybe a little ahead if you consider March has lately been much more of a winter month and December has been much more of a fall month. But in general, the Baltimore area has continued to really struggle even in comparison to DC and Southern MD since 2016. I was at least fortunate enough to get around 8 inches with the last one while those just north of me got far less.
