Yeah, it's snowing very nicely here now. A few bands like this today would be great.

And now the radar is looking much healthier. Let's see what happens as those bands start stacking up against the wall.

For us north of 70, it's nice to see some radar returns popping up to the west. I don't much care about totals at this point, but I'd like to see it snow throughout the day and into the evening. Nothing better to me than snow falling as day goes to night.

4.0" at 6AM

Picking up here and when it does, it piles up fast.

Lol. Did anyone else use wonder bread wrappers as a kid to help get those damn rubber boots over your shoes? Very light snow here now.

I kid you not that white toast and butter is a huge weakness for me. I love it. I'd finish my paper route as a kid and ride circles on my Stingray outside my grandmother's house until she'd come outside and say, "Son number 3, come on in and have something to eat!" She made the best toast because she always had a stick of real butter softened on the counter in a covered dish. Damn, she was a great cook! By the way, it's snowing.

My go to quick meal is egg, ham and cheese on white toast. And I love beer. His fridge would keep me happy for at least 3 days.

He's a professional beer drinker. Literally. Eyeballing about an inch in steady, light, puffy snow.

A good time to empty your bowels. Feel better!

Its going to be funny when those bands that come in from the south hit the wall and stack up dumping on the worried northern crew. Snow globe outside here now. Beautiful.

Did you really drive home just for this storm?

Snowing in Cockeysville at the chocolate store

Are you driving home???

Please keep the pictures coming! I hope you all get buried!

Some of us still underestimate the radiational cooling of Richmond. BWI got down to 35 this morning, DCA to 43, and RIC to 38. For DCA to hit 32, they almost need an arctic blast, while RIC can do it with the passage of a mid-fall cold front followed by clear skies and calm winds.

DCA: Nov 18 BWI: Oct 28 IAD: Oct 27  RIC: Nov 11 Tiebreaker: 4.92"

General statement, but I agree that it's localized. I think it's also better that it's urban based since most of us in the 95 corridor use municipal water rather than rural areas where more folks rely on wells. Most people understand that for urban water supplies, our reservoirs are fed from afar, so a narrow strip of "severe drought" where the reservoirs are located has less impact here than in other areas of the region. I'm not dismissing how dry it has been, but if we are going to have a drought, two things stand out to me that make this situation bearable. The first, obviously, is that for now the severe concern is within an area where impacts are minimal, and secondly, if it is going to be dry, winter is a good time for it since water demand is lower. I'm pretty sure that if this was a June, July, and August drought, the beachin that would be going on in here would make wintertime Ji would sound optimistic.

The Milagro Beanfield War continues... November 2.00" December 1.03" January 1.20" Pretty remarkable that I've also had 8" of snow.

I just summed the past two and a half months, and less than 4" here since October 30. I have no idea what that means in term of a drought, but I'm pretty confident that going forward it means that I need to make sure my sump pump is working well in March and April.

Awesome! I hope that you don't mind, but I copied that image to the D.C. area obs thread with a nod to you, of course.

NiCe!!!

Good stuff!

The time lapse is awesome. I might have to set one of those up in the yard.
