Euro, if real, looks terrific. 3-6 inches across the metro area. We take and sprint.

Makes sense. Coming to its senses as we get closer to gametime and trending toward the more realistic model solutions. Guessing we will see Euro trend a bit northwest as well.

Keep pushing that bowling ball south!

This event reminds me of December 8, 2013, and also an event we had in 2007.

GFS looks like mostly rain to me.

NAM not buying the wintry precipitation at all, though outside of its useful range, if it has one.

Oh, you mean like, for December 5th?

BWI: 54.3 DCA: 46.2 IAD: 55.9 RIC: 31.3 SBY: 21.2

Unless I'm missing something, just looks like rain changing to some back-end snow, and that never works out here. Winds dry us out.

No severe here today. Too much rain and the line came through too early for us. We have gotten more rain today than I expected though.

The fact BWI ended up with almost 30 inches of snow from that storm (BWI is pretty close to my house and the totals are usually similar, though they always seem to report a bit lower) goes to show just how much they got slammed overnight and then in that 4 hour period or so in the afternoon because I don't think I added more than an inch or two at the most for the entire morning, and that's probably being generous. That afternoon snow was a thing of beauty though. Wish I could have bottled it up.

The 2016 storm was amazing but definitely had a dry slot for anyone right around 95 and east. It never really stopped snowing all morning at my house (just barely east of 95), but it was very, very light snow. I'd say just snow showery type stuff, and I think farther to the east was actually getting nothing. The areas on a line from probably about Owings Mills to Columbia and running southwest of there and then to the west just continued to get dumped on by the CCB that morning and got the real big totals. It was painful watching that just pivot and dump only 20 miles away while I was getting very little. When that finally moved east in the afternoon, the fun really started for me. It snowed really hard for about 4-5 hours that afternoon and the wind was picking up at that point. Legit blizzard conditions. I think I picked up 8-10 inches or so just in the afternoon with that as it rotated through. It's the best day-time snow I can remember in a long, long time. Seems almost all of our big snows, especially the most intense portions, happen overnight.

Legit wind for a few minute around 10 or so last night. Smaller trees were completely bending over. Impressive.

Northeast MD pummeled again! LOL.

Where in the world did this rain come from today? Had light to moderate rain for a couple hours now.

Can't come soon enough. Hype train seems to be leaving the station.

Did we get any wind at all overnight? I didn't hear anything. I wonder how OC fared. Guessing they had some wind gusts in the 50's with a lot of rain. I see they have a Flash Flood Warning.

The front is going to win/winning, but there has been a noticeable uptick just east of 95. Lots of lightning suddenly popping up.

I'm hoping we get in on some good stuff from Michael but it's not moving that fast and the kick is coming in hot and heavy. It's going to be a race but it seems like it will just approach DC and then get shunted east. OCMD area should be fun tonight. I could see gusts close to hurricane strength with a half foot or more of rain down there. Looks like close but no cigar here again.

A warm, dry October just setting the stage for the big show this winter!

I was just about to come here to post that. It's been really consistent run after run on some type of line of storms in the 6-8 pm range.

Given the rainfall rates and totals overnight, I was surprised there wasn't a lot more flash flooding around the area. Seems like very few problems, if any.

I feel like radar estimates often underdo totals, especially when it comes to really heavy rainfall.

Cool site. Looks like I got somewhere around 3 to as much as 4 inches last night, though I guess maybe a little less than that since I had a couple of short-lived downpours during the day.

It's really dark and been raining hard in the Woodlawn area for almost an hour now.
