That band is 5 miles away from me. Impatiently waiting for it to make some westward progress.

0.50" visibility now in moderate snow. Lots more good radar echoes pointed this way. 28 degrees.

WWA from 10:10 a.m. still calling for an inch of accumulation today, but the point forecast for MRB and OKV was just raised to 2-4"

12Z GFS has 0.50"+ QPF through tomorrow at this time for the eastern panhandle of WV. All snow. LWX going with up to an additional inch of accumulation though.

I have been scratching my head since last night wondering how I did so well with accumulations, seeing so many nearby with significantly less. Your ob shows a 10:1 ratio which is helpful. I actually caught 0.81" in the Cocorahs bucket through 7:00 a.m. so my 7.7" measurement isn't terribly off from that. I was under 4 different bands for a long while yesterday, but I guess they didn't translate well to your side of the Potomac. Measured numerous spots around the property and finding 7" minimum on the level, even with compaction. Snowing again here at 26 degrees.

Consensus of the 00Z suite so far is that a 1-3 or 2-4" accumulation happens during the day tomorrow from HGR to OKV.

7.3" total so far. Down to 26 degrees from a high of 32.8

4.5” and 32 degrees.

Euro joins the rest of the 12Z models with the bullseye through Western Md and into areas of the eastern WV panhandle. Storm does seem to be evolving that way.

Bordering on heavy snow here. 3/8 mi visibility. A bit over 3” on the ground but piling up fast now.

Very nice ! Radar looks great for you (and me). Pretty sure you are gonna verify the 8-14” forecast by this evening.

Just under 2” on the ground with 0.50 mile visibility. Up to 29 degrees.

3k NAM agrees with this same snowfall axis. Has areas of western Allegany County Md nearing 18” on the ground by tomorrow morning.

12Z NAM 12k with a QPF max from Cumberland to Martinsburg through hour 18. 0.75”+ liquid equivalent.

Awesome. Reading your post made me want to do the same thing. But chili is already on the stove so will probably have to be indoors once in a while today. Enjoy!

Light snow. All surfaces covered. 27.7 degrees.

34/10 cirrostratus in the southwest sky. 30.28” and slowly falling

Hoping the next few cycles can settle on a solution for the coastal. It's my call whether or not to open up for business in Winchester Monday morning. And then communicate that decision to ~25 people at some point Sunday afternoon. If the bulk of the accumulation happens Sunday, and Monday morning through 5:00 p.m. looks like nothing more than snow showers, we can operate. Worst case though is if my home 35 miles north stays in the comma head all day on Monday and I'm at work missing it. I've seen several models showing just that scenario.

44 hours now with wind chills in the single digits and teens. Less than 36 hours to go to see snow.

Speaking of localized excitement: 18Z GFS gives me 45 hours of snow.

Its interesting that early this morning LWX had an accumulation forecast on their Winter Hazards page that ran through Monday evening at 7:00 p.m. Went back to check for an update and it now only runs through Monday at 7:00 a.m. Guessing they are waiting on 12Z data ?

Looked up Marlinton to see where it was, and saw this on the Wikipedia page: Marlinton is named for Jacob Marlin, who, along with Stephen Sewell, became the first non-native settlers west of the Allegheny Mountains, in the Greenbrier Valley in 1749. New Englanders Marlin and Sewell built a cabin in what would become Marlinton, but after various religious disputes, Sewell moved into a nearby hollowed-out sycamore tree.

Comparing the QPF map and the Kuchera snowfall map above, Euro has 15:1 ratios for HGR, MRB and OKV. (Didn't look at any other sites.)

NWS forecast runs through 7:00 p.m. Monday now:

I feel ya. I am further north than your location and a lot farther from the coast. But I'll be pretty satisfied with a snowy day on Sunday and hope for a chance to add some on Monday.
